Amitabh Bachchan tweets message for fans after being hospitalised for COVID-19
Amitabh Bachchan expressed his gratitude to fans and well-wishers for their wishes after the veteran actor and the family members tested positive for COVID
Amitabh Bachchan expressed his gratitude to fans and well-wishers for their wishes after the veteran actor and the members of his family tested positive for COVID-19. Big B sent his ‘unending gratitude and love’ to those expressing ‘concern, their prayers and their wishes’ for himself, son Abhishek, daughter-in-law Aaradhya and granddaughter Aaradhya, who have all been diagnosed with coronavirus.
The Piku star added that it was not possible for him to acknowledge all the messages, as he put his 'hands together' to thank them for their 'eternal love and affection.'
Here’s the tweet
Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek have been admitted to the Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai after testing positive for COVID-19 on Saturday. On Sunday, Abhishek confirmed that Aishwarya and Aaradhya had also tested positive for coronavirus and that his mother Jaya Bachchan and the other members of the family (sister Shweta Bachchan and her children Navya and Agastya) had tested negative. He informed that Aishwarya and Aaradhya will self-quarantine at home, while they will be hospitalised as per instructions of the doctors.
The Nanavati Hospital had informed that Big B is stable and responding well to treatment, and had a good night’s sleep. The authorities reportedly claimed that Bachchan himself will be updating with his fans the status of his health via a 'Medical Bulletin'. However, his tweet on Sunday was the only update he shared.
Meanwhile, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation tested 30 members of the staff of the family and their results are awaited. The BMC has sealed the four bungalows of the family, Jalsa, Pratiksha, Janak and Vatsa. Videos of the bungalows being sanitised also surfaced on social media, apart from them declaring it as a ‘containment zone’ and pasting the notice at the gate.
