Amitabh Bachchan denies testing negative for Covid-19

(Web Desk) – Veteran Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan on Wednesday denied a media report which claimed that he’s now fully recovered from coronavirus. Taking to Twitter, he dismissed the news as "incorrect" and "irresponsible."

Amitabh, along with his son Abhishek Bachchan, has been admitted to a Mumbai hospital for the past two weeks after being diagnosed with the coronavirus. His daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and granddaughter were also shifted to hospital last Friday, almost a week after they tested positive for Covid-19.

In response to a media publication’s tweet, claiming that Amitabh has tested negative for Covid-19, the veteran actor wrote, "This news is incorrect, irresponsible, fake and an incorrigible LIE!!"

On Monday, Amitabh had shared an update about his health from the hospital. In a lengthy blog post, he wrote, "In the condition of the solace in the room of cure.. the restlessness keeps in the search for a reaction .. for a connect .. for something to respond to .. to do .. to do just more than what the condition dictates.."

"At times you find it .. at times you stare at barren walls and with empty thoughts .. and you pray that they be filled with the life of existence .. of reaction and company .. All of you push your prayers and concern each hour I know .. and I have only folded hands.."
