Former Miss World Aishwarya Rai and her daughter have been shifted to hospital, days after testing positive for coronavirus. Aishwarya, 46 and eight-year-old Aaradhya were diagnosed with coronavirus on Sunday, a day after the actor’s father-in-law, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, and husband Abhishek Bachchan tested positive for the COVID-19.
The actress had been isolating at home with her daughter Aaradhya, but is said to have gone to a Mumbai hospital after they ‘developed breathlessness’, reports India’s print and online media.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan took the Miss World crown in 1994 and made her acting debut in the late 1990s. She went on to become one of the most famous Bollywood faces abroad and has been a regular on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.
Amitabh, 77, and Abhishek, 44, both are already in the isolation ward of the same hospital in Mumbai.
Amitabh Bachchan had tweeted, “I have tested CoviD positive .. shifted to Hospital .. hospital informing authorities .. family and staff undergone tests , results awaited .. All that have been in close proximity to me in the last 10 days are requested to please get themselves tested !”
Aishwarya married Abhishek Bachchan in 2007. Abhishek had tweeted regarding his hospital admission on July 11, “Earlier today both my father and I tested positive for COVID 19. Both of us having mild symptoms have been admitted to hospital.”
Amitabh Bachchan last engaged with his Twitter followers on July 16, and tweeted, “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”
India has crossed 1 million COVID19 cases yesterday and becomes the third country to cross the 1 million mark after the US and Brazil.
