Amitabh Bachchan hopes homeopathy will cure coronavirus, leaves Twitter unimpressed

Twitter was not a 100% on board with Amitabh Bachchan’s tweet about homeopathy finding ways to counter coronavirus.

Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan feels homeopathic medicine may come up with ways to counter the coronavirus. At the same time, he is hopeful that India will lead the world in finding a treatment for the deadly virus which has turned into a pandemic.

Amitabh Bachchan even shared a trippy new photo collage with his post.

He took to Twitter on Friday to express: “As a beneficiary of homoeopathy I’m encouraged to see the efforts of the AYUSH Ministry to counter Corona. I pray that india leads the World in finding preventive & curative solutions for such epidemics.”

However, a section of netizens didn’t agree with the actor’s thoughts. A user commented: “Plz tweet something sensible .These kind of tweets not acceptable in times of Coronavirus Pandemic. How does it help plz elaborate,” read a tweet. Another user wrote, “Doctors saved @SrBachchan‘s life in 1982. For four decades, he’s had chronic medical issues and was treated by the best doctors. Why didn’t he depend on homeopathy quacks? Bachchan is a repeat offender spreading superstition & quackery. His a/c should be suspended @TwitterIndia.”

Referring to his recent social media post which became a subject of controversy, another user trolled: “According to him makkhi can spread #coronavirus.”

However, some users agreed with the veteran actor’s point of view. A fan commented: “India will surely find the solution for this epidemics sir. AYUSH is doing great job in providing the correct and necessary information to general public during this epidemic.”

Amitabh Bachchan recently faced flak in the virtual world for sharing a video where he talked of Chinese experts discovering that the common housefly, which sits on excreta, can transmit the coronavirus -- a rumour which was denied by the health ministry.
