The Internet has been flooded with messages from well-wishers and fans wishing a speedy recovery to Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and his son and actor Abhishek Bachchan after the father-son duo announced on Saturday that they had tested positive for coronavirus.
Actors and prominent personalities such as Sonu Sood, Rajkummar Rao, Sonam Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal, Anupam Kher, Yuvraj Singh among others have come forward and taken to microblogging site Twitter to urge BigB and Junior B to keep their spirits high in fighting the COVID-19 fight.
Business magnate Anand Mahindra was amongst the many who prayed for the Bachchans and responded to Amitabh's tweet where he had announced that he was shifted to hospital after being tested positive with the novel coronavirus.
Mahindra, a regular on social media and popular for his quirky takes wrote, "We’re all cheering for you. And you have nothing to worry about. There’s a vaccine you possess—it’s code named the Big V—and it’s inbuilt & organic. Grows inside all those like you who are natural fighters (sic)."
