MUMBAI Fans across India prayed on Monday for the legendary Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan and other members of his movie family who have been infected with the corona virus as one day of infection spread a new record without showing how high it is.
Bachchan, 77, and his son, Abhishek, were hospitalized in Mumbai while his daughter-in-law and ex-wife of Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and his eight-year-old grandson were also tested positive.
The highest Indian Bachchanes are infected with the virus, which spreads rapidly after the collapse of the new moon in late May to revive the shocked economy.
Special Hindu rituals are performed in temples throughout India by followers who pray for the recapture of a respected and revered character over the years.
“It sounds like not one Amitabh Bachchan has been sick, but every generation has been sick,” Vijay Patodia, a member of the All Bengal Amitabh Bachchan Fans’ Association, told Reuters at the temple east of Kolkata.
A spokesman for Nanavati Hospital, where the son and son were admitted, declined to comment, saying the family would provide updates. Bachchan is an active Twitter user and announced his illness on Saturday after being admitted to hospital.
“I hope he, @juniorbachchan and his family will recover quickly from # Covid_19 soon and be released from hospital,” said @jaikukki in the United States, accompanied by a video of Bachchan singing a popular song.
There were no updates from the family or hospital in the middle of Monday, but health officials said Sunday that the son and son were stable.
India, along with the United States and Brazil, highlights the global epidemic. It also announced the previous closure of its 1.3 billion people in March but failed to turn the curve.
COVID-19 cases shot more than 878,000 with a new record of 28,701 new infections on Monday, although parts of the country entered new closed homes.
India seems to have done better than most places in terms of the death toll in the cases, with tax rates set at 23,174, but some private observers believe the figures are unreliable as people who die with symptoms can be counted as victims unless tested.
