Bollywood Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Admitted To Hospital

Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been taken to Mumbai’s Nanavati Hospital to be treated for COVID-19, news agency ANI reports. The 46-year-old actress tested positive some days ago and was placed in isolation at the Bachchan residence Jalsa, which was sealed by the Brihanmumbai Corporation or BMC as were the three other bungalows owned by the family. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and husband Abhishek are also in Nanavati Hospital. They tested positive last week. Aishwarya and Abhishek’s eight-year-old daughter also has COVID-19. Amitabh Bachchan’s wife Jaya tested negative for the virus.

Earlier this week, Abhishek Bachchan announced in a tweet that his wife and daughter had tested positive for the Coronavirus. His post ended a brief period of confusion in which Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope shared and then deleted a tweet revealing that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her daughter’s test results were positive.
