Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is currently undergoing treatment for coronavirus at a hospital here. Amitabh Bachchan has said his COVID-19 diagnosis has led him to look at every moment of life in all its glory. The 77-year-old actor and his 44-year-old son, actor Abhishek Bachchan, July 11 were admitted Nanavati Hospital here. Both were diagnosed with the virus and currently in the isolation ward.
Amitabh’s daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and his granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan were also shifted to Nanavati last Friday. It was almost a week after they tested positive for COVID-19.
Seeking company
On his blog, Amitabh talked Monday about dealing with lack of company and a ‘wandering mind’ in isolation.
“.. it is the silence and the uncertainty of the next … it is a wonder of the nature of life. Of all that it brings to us each moment , each living breathing day… “In the activity driven past days of normalcy, never was there inclination to assess or sit back and think of what thoughts invade us now. But they do now with a regularity that fills those idle hours, sitting, thinking, looking out into nowhere,” he wrote.
Big B admires thinkers and visionaries
The Gulabo Sitabo star regularly updates fans and well-wishers about his health on social media. He said he admires thinkers and visionaries who used their ‘superior wisdom’ for the good of humanity. Amitabh also said he hopes the time he is spending away from his loved ones soon comes to an end.
“In the condition of the solace in the room of cure… the restlessness keeps in the search for reaction… for a connect. It looks for something to respond to… to do… to do just more than what the condition dictates. At times you find it, at times you stare at barren walls and with empty thoughts. You pray that they be filled with the life of existence… of reaction and company,” the actor stated.
