Bachchan was in the headlines in the past for his health conditions for a few times. In 1982, he was admitted to the hospital due to a recurring liver problem, while shooting of the film ‘Coolie’ was on progress. During his treatment on those days another terrific havoc happened to him. He was under several blood transfusions and one of the donors later accidentally turned out to be Hepatitis B bearer, consequently making Bachchan too Hepatitis B positive. Another course of treatment and medicines helped him contract the virus. According to the media reports those days, Bachchan had lost 75 per cent of his liver functions due to liver cirrhosis occurred due to the Hepatitis infection.

The actor, who maintains a healthy and discipline lifestyle, is a teetotaller and is known to maintain his health. Bachchan’s COVID-19 diagnosis adds to the gloom and doom in the world of Bollywood this year in which fans are still reeling from deaths of Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput.

His Twitter post revealing his Covid-19 diagnosis prompted several Bollywood stars including Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Esha Deol to wish him a speedy recovery. “Get well soon Amit uncle. All my love and prayers,” tweeted Kapoor. Actress Esha Deol labelled him a fighter who wins over everything in life. “You are a fighter. You will come out of this too. You win over everything. Tims time too, you will be fine Amit uncle,” tweeted Deol. Director Kunal Kohli posted: “Take care sir. Love you. Awaiting your tweet when you say you’re fine & going back home.”
