Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her daughter Aaradhya were discharged from the Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital at Vile Parle in north-west Mumbai on Monday, after they tested “negative” in an apparent second Covid-19 test they underwent at the hospital.
Aishwarya (46) and her daughter Aaradhya had earlier on July 12 tested positive for Covid-19 a day after Ambitabh Bachchan and his actor-son Abhishekh were admitted to the Nanavati Hospital after testing positive for coronavirus.
Aishwarya and her daughter had initially isolated them at the Bachchans’ residence for six days.
Abhishek tweeted, “Thank you all for your continued prayers and good wishes. Indebted forever. Aishwarya and Aaradhya have thankfully tested negative and have been discharged from the hospital. They will now be at home. My father and I remain in hospital under the care of the medical staff.”
It may be recalled that Abhishek had himself through a tweet put out on July 12 confirmed that his wife and daughter had tested positive for Covid-19. “Aishwarya and Aaradhya have also tested COVID-19 positive. They will be self quarantining at home. The BMC has been updated of their situation and are doing the needful. The rest of the family including my Mother have tested negative. Thank you all for your wishes and prayers,” the actor had tweeted.
Sr Bachchan’s Rajya Sabha member-wife Jaya tested negative for the pandemic.
“My father and I remain in hospital till the doctors decide otherwise. Everyone please remain cautious and safe. Please follow all rules!,” Abhishekh had tweeted on July 12, by when his wife and daughter had not been admitted to the hospital.
