Amitabh Bachchan opens up about second Covid diagnosis
সংগৃহীত ছবি

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, who recently tested positive for Covid-19 for the second time, has opened up about his health and feeling disappointment after the diagnosis.

The actor told his fans that though he does not intend on giving routine bulletins about his health as he deals with the illness, he will keep them updated about it, reports Hindustan Times.

The legend, who had revealed his diagnosis in a tweet on Tuesday night, shared a detailed blog about it on his Tumblr account on Wednesday. Amitabh started his note by thanking those who have sent him their concern, prayers, and love.

The veteran actor wrote on his blog, "Yes despite all the precautions and the dosage for its prevention...the injection one and two and the booster thereafter...the care to not be in the presence of the public realm...Covid-19 did win and come out victorious! To say that I am disappointed would be an under statement...it is the concern I bring on those that are near and dear."

Amitabh had battled the coronavirus back in 2020 and even had to be hospitalised for a couple of weeks. His son actor Abhishek Bachchan was the first in the family to test positive, following which his daughter-in-law former miss world Aishwarya Rai was also diagnosed with the virus.
