Amitabh Bachchan was discharged from Nanavati hospital after testing negative for the novel coronavirus disease on Sunday. Abhishek Bachchan took to his Twitter handle to inform the fans that his father has been discharged from the hospital.
”My father, thankfully, has tested negative on his latest Covid-19 test and has been discharged from the hospital. He will now be at home and rest. Thank you all for all your prayers and wishes for him,” Abhishek tweeted.
In a separate tweet, Abhishek shared that he will still remain in the hospital as he tested positive yet again. ”I, Unfortunately due to some comorbidities remain Covid-19 positive and remain in hospital. Again, thank you all for your continued wishes and prayers for my family. Very humbled and indebted. I’ll beat this and comeback healthier! Promise,” he wrote.
Minutes later, Amitabh Bachchan himself took to Twitter to share the news with his fans and well wisers. His tweet read, “I have tested CoVid- have been discharged. I am back home in solitary quarantine. Grace of the Almighty, blessings of Ma Babuji, prayers & duas of near & dear & friends fans EF .. and the excellent care and nursing at Nanavati made it possible for me to see this day.”
Amitabh and Abhishek had tested positive for coronavirus on August 11 and were admitted to Nanavati hospital in Mumbai. A day later, it was informed that Aishwarya and daughter Aaradhya have also contracted the virus. Due to mild symptoms, the mother-daughter duo was suggested home isolation. However, a week later, both were admitted to Nanavati hospital as Aishwarya suffered from fever. They both returned home last week after testing negative for the virus.
