Covid-19-stricken Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan thanks fans in poetic tweet
KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan seems to be overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and well-wishes from his fans after he tested positive for Covid-19 on Saturday.
The 77-year-old screen icon — who is undergoing treatment at Nanavati hospital in Mumbai – took to Twitter to express his gratitude with a poem.
“The torrential rain of prayers and good wishes has gone beyond the bond of affection.
“I was swept away, I could not remain steady as this immense love filled me. It took away the darkness of my loneliness and filled my life with light,” reads the tweet.

प्रार्थनाओं, सद भावनाओं की मूसलाधार बारिश ने
स्नेह रूपी बंधन का बांध तोड़ दिया है ;
बह गया, तर कर दिया मुझे इस अपार प्यार ने,
मेरे एकाकी पन के अंधेरे को जो तुमने,
प्रज्वलित कर दिया है
व्यक्तिगत आभार मैं व्यक्त न कर पाउँगा ,
बस शीश झुकाके नत मस्तक हूँ मैं 🙏— Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) July 13, 2020
The Bollywood veteran then ended his poetic tweet with: “I will not be able to express my personal gratitude to each one but I bow down to you.”
