Making an update from the Nanavati hospital in Mumbai, Amitabh wrote, “I receive all your blessings and love and prayers for our well being .. on sms, on whatsapp, on insta on Blog .. and all possible social media .. my gratitude has no bounds .. Hospital protocol is restrictive, i cannot say more .. Love.”

Earlier on Wednesday, he had shared a quote, urging people to introspect and steer clear of negative “trendsetters” in life. He shared the quote in Sanskrit and explained its meaning in the subsequent tweet. Bachchan warned his social media followers, through the tweet, of people with six negative tendencies -- dissatisfaction, anger, jealousy, dislike and doubt.

“People who express jealousy, dislike, dissatisfaction, anger, and doubt towards all others and those who live off others...these six kinds of people always remain filled with sadness...that is why, whenever possible, save yourself from people who have these traits,” his tweet read.

Other than the actor, his son, actor Abhishek Bachchan, daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan also tested positive for Covid-19 earlier this week. However, his wife, actor Jaya Bachchan, tested negative for the virus.
