Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan has tested positive for COVID-19. He took to social media on Tuesday night to share the news with his fans and urged everyone who came in contact with him in the last few days to get themselves tested. Big B wrote, ‘I have just tested Covid + positive .. all those that have been in my vicinity and around me, please get yourself checked and tested also.’
This is the second time the superstar has contracted coronavirus. He tested positive and had to be hospitalized in 2020. Back then, his actor-son Abhishek Bachchan, actor-daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan also tested positive.
Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting Sony TV’s quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ Season 14. The show went on air earlier this month. He will next be seen in Ayan Mukerji's ‘Brahmastra Part One: Shiva’, co-starring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. The film will release in theatres on September 9. His other upcoming projects are Vikas Bahl's ‘Goodbye’, ‘UUnchai’, and ‘Project K’.
