The Bachchan family has been in the headlines for over two days now. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan contracted the Covid-19 infection this past weekend along with his son and actor Abhishek Bachchan. Big B was the first to make the announcement on Twitter, followed by junior Bachchan, who also took to the micro-blogging site to inform his fans and colleagues that the father-son duo is in high spirits and doing just fine. A day later, Abhishek’s wife and B-town beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan tested positive too alongside their daughter Aradhya Bachchan. Amitabh and Abhishek, however, decided to isolate at a private hospital due to Big B’s previous health complications.
Aishwarya and her daughter are in isolation at their home. Jaya Bachchan tested negative for Covid-19 as did their remaining family members and domestic staff. Celebrities have been showering one of Indian cinema’s leading families with a lot of love, well-wishes and prayers from across the world. Amitabh first tweet read, “I have tested CoviD positive .. shifted to Hospital .. hospital informing authorities .. family and staff undergone tests , results awaited .. All that have been in close proximity to me in the last 10 days are requested to please get themselves tested!” Soon after, his Breathe co-star Amit Sadh underwent a PCR test and thankfully, his results were negative.
From the current generation of actors, Sonam Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Rajkummar Rao, Taapsee Pannu and Dulquer Salman wished the Bachchan’s a speedy recovery. Celebrities including Mammootty, Hansal Mehta,Sonu Sood, Anupam Kher and Mahesh Babu also conveyed their best wishes for the family.

I put my hands together and say, Thank you for your eternal love and affection.” Actor Nimrat Kaur replied with, “Always and forever sir.”
