Sharing the picture on Twitter, Amitabh wrote, “T 3675 - I am a pledged ORGAN DONOR .. I wear the green ribbon of its sanctity !!”

The 77-year-old had shared on his blog on Monday night about shooting a Karamveer special episode for the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati.

Talking about its significance, he had written, “the green ribbon is the acceptance of the fact that we are organ donors .. and if there be no money’s left with harry and sally .. then the desire to overcome becomes excitable.”

Amitabh and three of his family members including son Abhishek Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai and granddaughter Aaradhya had tested positive for Covid-19 in July. The Sholay actor was admitted to the Lilavati hospital for several weeks before he could be discharged after testing negative for the virus.

Just a few days later, Amitabh had resumed work and began shooting for Kaun Banega Crorepati amid precautions and safety measures. Since then, he has been actively shooting for 12-16 hours for the show, which premiered this Monday.
