The Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan has been discharged from hospital, three weeks after being admitted with coronavirus symptoms after testing positive for the disease. Bachchan’s actor-son, Abishek, who was admitted at the same time, remains in hospital.
He is more than god to us,” Sanjoy Patodiya, the secretary of the Amitabh Bachchan Fan Association, told AFP on Sunday before the actor’s announcement.
I will have to be in solitary quarantine in my room,” Bachchan wrote on Instagram, saying he had tested negative.
Bachchan, 77, idolised in India and affectionately known as “Big B”, has worked for more than half a century in the film industry.
