Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan has tested positive for the coronavirus. His son, the actor Abhishek Bachchan, his daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and granddaughter Aaradhya have also tested positive
MUMBAI - Revered Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter-in-law and granddaughter have joined him and his son in testing positive for COVID-19, the family said on Sunday, in one of the highest-profile cases of the pandemic sweeping India.
“My father and I remain in hospital till the doctors decide otherwise. Everyone please remain cautious and safe. Please follow all rules!” added Abhishek Bachchan, 44, also an actor. That triggered an outpouring of love, with one fan said to have walked backwards from southern Hyderabad city to Mumbai in his honour.
Amitabh Bachchan, who endorses dozens of Indian and global brands, has a net worth estimated to be over $100 million. An official in the prime minister’s office told Reuters that senior bureaucrats and ministers had been asked to show restraint on tweeting about the Bachchan family to avoid speculation and ensure there was equality of treatment for all patients.
