Three (3) generations of Bollywood’s Bachchan family have been hit by COVID-19 - legendary Indian actor, Amitabh (77), his son Abhishek (44), daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai (46) and his 8-year-old granddaughter Aaradhya.
Both Amitabh and Abhishek were admitted to the Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday (11th July 2020), with mild symptoms of COVID-19. The father-son duo appealed to their millions of fans to stay calm. It was not clear whether former Miss World Aishwarya and her daughter were also admitted to Hospital. Hospital Officials and Government health authorities said earlier on Sunday that Amitabh and his son were in stable condition. People in Northern and Western India were conducting Hindu prayer rituals for the Bachchan family, social media and television footage showed.
India on Sunday registered a record increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, taking the total number of affected people in the country to nearly 850,000, the world’s third-highest, and prompting authorities to re-impose partial lockdowns in some densely populated areas.
Federal Health Ministry data showed that more than 27,100 new cases were reported in the previous 24 hours, while the death toll increased to 22,674, after 551 people succumbed in a day. Aishwarya is often featured on “most beautiful” lists and has worked in several Bollywood and Hollywood films. She is a brand ambassador for several multinational companies, including L’Oreal.

Amitabh’s wife Jaya, also an actor, has tested negative for COVID-19, according to the Health Minister. Amitabh, a revered celebrity who endorses dozens of Indian and global brands, has a net worth estimated to be over $100 Million, trade analysts say. He has been a prominent figure in the fight against COVID-19, appearing in public service advertisements where, in his trademark baritone, he urges people to wear masks, wash hands frequently and maintain social distance.
Authorities launched a massive sanitising drill at Bachchan’s upscale residence in Mumbai, spraying disinfectant in the large compound and on cars parked outside.
