MUMBAI (Reuters) - Revered Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter-in-law and granddaughter have joined him and his son in testing positive for COVID-19, the family said on Sunday, in one of the highest-profile cases of the pandemic sweeping India.

“My father and I remain in hospital till the doctors decide otherwise. Everyone please remain cautious and safe. Please follow all rules!” added Abhishek Bachchan, 44, also an actor. That triggered an outpouring of love, with one fan said to have walked backwards from southern Hyderabad city to Mumbai in his honour.

Amitabh Bachchan, who endorses dozens of Indian and global brands, has a net worth estimated to be over $100 million. An official in the prime minister’s office told Reuters that senior bureaucrats and ministers had been asked to show restraint on tweeting about the Bachchan family to avoid speculation and ensure there was equality of treatment for all patients.

I admire their acting and also hope they recover well, however it is so ridiculous that this is news. This is not something exclusively impacting them. Also just for the record covid has been around all of this year so not sure why the article states 'new corona virus'.

Oh Christ! Didn't know Amitabh, but fan of Aishwarya Rai 👇 saying that, I hope they all pull through with no consequences...poor family! BrideandPredjudice

Amitabh has been the star force in the persecution of Sikhs and he provoked and propelled Hindu Mobs to carry out genocide of Sikhs in 1984. He never was big enough to accept mistake and apologize to Sikhs. Every Hindu extremist organization loves BachChan. Sikhs friendsofrss
