Amitabh Bachchan tests COVID-19 negative, will go home by 4:30 PM

Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek were hospitalized on July 11, after testing positive for the novel coronavirus. They were undergoing treatment for COVID-19 at Mumbai's Nanavati hospital.

On Sunday, a family source told FPJ that the 'Gulabo Sitabo' actor had tested negative and will be discharged at 04:30 PM.

After Big B and son Abhishek, the latter's wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and daughter Aaradhya also tested positive and were hospitalized after 'self-quarantining at home’. Last week, Amitabh's daughter-in-law and grand-daughter were discharged from the hospital, after they tested negative. While Big B and Abhishek were still in Nanavati hospital with coronavirus infection.

After Aishwarya and Aaradhya's discharge, Big B had penned an emotional letter on his blog.

"They go home, the little one and Bahurani .. and the tears flow out .. the little one embraces and tells me not to cry ..'you'll be home soon' she assures .. I must believe her…" he wrote.

Recently, Amitabh Bachchan penned a note to anonymous trolls, who have been wishing his death due to the novel coronavirus.

"Hey Mr Anonymous... you do not even write your Father's name,... because you do not know who Fathered you... there are only two things that can happen... either I shall die or either I shall live. If I die you won't get to write your diatribe anymore, by weathering your remark on a celebrity name... pity."
