Amitabh Bachchan has applauded the healthcare professionals who are at the forefront of humanity’s war against coronavirus. On Wednesday, he tweeted to pay his respects.
He wrote: “They work in extreme conditions, so our conditions are safe .. the Gods own angels in white PPE units , Doctors, nurses, support staff .. yet they still take time out to pray for who they struggle to cure - their patients ! This be their prayer everyday.” He also shared two prayers from healthcare workers to the Almighty, surrendering “all our patients to your care”.
Amitabh has been rather active on social media through his stay at Mumbai’s Nanavati hospital, after being diagnosed with Covid-19. He was admitted immediately along with his son, actor Abhishek Bachchan, who had also tested positive earlier this month. His daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai and granddaughter Aaradhya had also tested positive but had been in home quarantine initially. However, they too moved to hospital after they reportedly developed breathlessness. They were discharged two days back after testing negative.

“If I die you wont get to write your diatribe anymore, by weathering your remark on a celebrity name .. pity .. for, the reason of your writing to be noticed was, because you took a swipe at Amitabh Bachchan .. that shall no longer exist .. !!,” he added.
