NDTV reported Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope saying, “He is asymptomatic and stable,” referring to Amitabh Bachchan.

Soon after the actor posted the tweet, the internet got flooded with fans pouring messages, wishing the father-son duo an early recovery. The film industry too expressed their shock and concern over the news and sent out wishes for their good health.

Dalquer Salman, the ZoyaFactor fame actor commented saying, “Get well soon Abhishek ! Prayers and wishing a speedy recovery !”

While Mahesh Babu said, “Get well soon sir ! Wishing you a speedy recovery…”

Shoaib Akhtar, the Pakistani cricketer also commented on Amitabh Bachchan’s tweet praying for his health, “Get well soon Amit ji. Prayers for a speedy recovery from all your fans across the border.”

“Get well soon amit uncle. All my love and prayers..,” wrote Sonam Kapoor Ahuja.

Amitabh Bachchan was last seen alongside Ayushman Khurana in the movie Gulabo Sitabo which was released on Amazon Prime due to the restrictions posed on theatres due to the coronavirus pandemic induced lockdown.

Big B was expected to return to the TV screen soon to host the next season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, a quiz show which aims to uplift people based on their knowledge rather than their economic condition and helps them win monetary prize money.
