Abhishek Bachchan
Diwali is around the corner but seems like the current COVID pandemic has subdued the excitement of the festival. A lot of large gatherings and celebrations were cancelled this year because of the same and now Diwali party hosted by Amitabh Bachchan has also been called off. Yes, the annual celebrations of the Bachchan household which is attended by the who's who of Bollywood has been called off. However, the coronavirus is not the only reason, Abhishek Bachchan recently spoke to Spotboye and told that the decision was also taken in respect to the death of his sister Shweta Bachchan Nanda's mother-in-law Ritu Nanda who passed away this year.
On being asked about the cancellation Abhishek said, “It’s true. We had a death in the family this year. My sister Shweta’s mother-in-law (Ritu Nanda) passed away. Besides, who hosts parties at a time like this? Civilisation is going through the worst crisis ever. We all need to be as careful as possible. Observing the utmost social distance is the only option we have. And that too is not a guarantee against infection. Diwali parties and other social occasions are for now a distant dream.”
He even spoke about being infected with the virus. “There is no guarantee of immunity just because one has gone through it. It’s all so uncertain. One has to just push along hoping for the best,” the actor added.
For the unversed, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aaradhya Bachchan were tested positive for COVID-19 virus. They all have recovered now.
