Actor Abhishek Bachchan has tested negative for Covid-19. He took to social media to share the news with his fans.
“A promise is a promise! This afternoon I tested Covid-19 NEGATIVE!!! I told you guys I’d beat this thank you all for your prayers for me and my family. My eternal gratitude to the doctors and nursing staff at Nanavati hospital for all that they have done. THANK YOU!,” he wrote in a tweet. He also shared a picture of a medical board on Instagram.
Earlier on Saturday, Abhishek’s father Amitabh had expressed anxiety about Abhishek’s health. Amitabh wrote on his blog that Abhishek had taken another swab test for Covid-19 and the results are expected by the evening. “I must admit that there is anxiety now for Abhishek .. he has his swab test this morning and by the evening we shall know if he can come home. Prayers,” Amitabh wrote.
Both Amitabh and Abhishek had tested positive for the coronavirus in July. While Amitabh later tested negative and was allowed to go home, Abhishek was still at the hospital, awaiting a negative test.
Abhishek’s wife Aishwarya Rai and daughter Aaradhya had also tested positive for the virus. The mother and daughter were at hospital only for a week and were sent home after they were found negative for the virus.
