When asked if he is nervous to step out, Abhishek Bachchan says, "First of all, I am doing very well by the grace of God. Everybody at home is healthy, which is of utmost importance."
He further said, "Am I nervous... Personally, not at all. I am more concerned about the family. About coming back to the family. All the precautions are being taken. We have a sanitization booth. Clothes are discarded and put them to wash. Have a shower immediately, wash your hands. Try to do whatever best you can. I have my entire family at home with me. I have two parents 72 and 78, I am most concerned about them. I have an 8-year daughter. A lot of sensitive age groups over there, I am more nervous about them."
Meanwhile, on Sunday (July 12), Abhishek Bachchan in a series of tweets said he and his father will "remain in hospital till the doctors decide otherwise".
"Aishwarya and Aaradhya have also tested COVID-19 positive. They will be self quarantining at home. The BMC has been updated of their situation and are doing the needful. The rest of the family including my Mother have tested negative. Thank you all for your wishes and prayers," Abhishek, who is admitted to Nanavati Hospital along with his father, said. "My father and I remain in hospital till the doctors decide otherwise," he added.
