Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Thursday refuted media reports about him being tested negative for COVID19.
The 77-year-old legend shared a tweet responding to a report by Times Now. Some other Indian media also reported that the actor tested negative, quoting Nanavati Hospital sources. "This news is incorrect, irresponsible, fake and an incorrigible LIE !!" –Amitabh wrote.
The reports emerged as the Bollywood veteran and Abhishek, 44, neared the completion of their 14-day quarantine period at the city hospital. A day after the father-son's revealed their diagnosis, Amitabh's daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, 46, and his eight-year-old granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan also tested positive for COVID-19. Aishwarya and Aaradhya were shifted to Nanavati last Friday, almost a week after they tested positive. Bachchan occasionally updates his fans on social media about his health.
The second coronavirus test of the entire Bachchan family was done on Wednesday. Only after the reports, it will be decided by Dr. Barve, Dr. Ansari, and their team whether the family will be discharged and how the further treatment will take place. On Sunday, Amitabh's daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya, 46, and her eight-year-old daughter Aaradhya also tested positive for the coronavirus. Amitabh's wife, veteran actor-MP Jaya Bachchan, 71, has tested negative.
However, hospital authorities informed that Amitabh Bachchan is in good condition. However, anxiety has not yet subsided. He is under strict observation of the physicians.
On the night of July 11, Amitabh Bachchan himself said that he was infected with coronavirus. Since then, he has been undergoing treatment in the isolation ward of Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai. Source: https://www.daily-bangladesh.com/
