How did Amitabh Bachchan and his family come across Coronavirus
Amitabh Bachchan worked for long hours even during the lockdown, details of which he even shared with his fans on Twitter. In his tweet, the actor, who was shooting for the upcoming season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, also added the disclaimer that proper precautionary measures were taken on the sets.
However, it is still unknown how the two actors contracted the virus. One theory is that Abhishek Bachchan had visited a studio in Versova for dubbing on July 8, 2020, and could have caught the virus then. The other theory is that Bachchan’s family residence ‘Jalsa’ is in Andheri which is already a Covid-19 hotspot. Hence, the Bachchans might have caught it from the locality. The entire residential area is now declared as a containment zone.
