Amitabh Bachchan Clarifies about the stamped hand; Royally Slams Fake media Reports!

The coronavirus outbreak has spread concern globally and Bollywood celebrities are trying their best to educate their fans about preventive measures to avoid the spreading of diseases. Similarly, Amitabh Bachchan took to his social media handle and shared a picture of hand-stamped with ‘Home Quarantined’. The photograph shocked his fans and left them concerned for the superstar's safety. Fans immediately speculated it to be his own hand. Media reports also claimed the same.

However, Bachchan has revealed that it was not his hand and the actor has briefed about the same.

He took to his blog to clear the confusion about the photo and stated that the hand in the photograph is not his. He wrote on his blog: “So the ‘hand’ of indelible ink, that found its way on my social media became Breaking news on the Tv channels the entire day .. and concerned friends called in to give me courage and hope and determined to send me the good health bulletins each hour.”

He further wrote: “I am well .. the hand picture is of someone else .. I was merely trying to inform all that the technology is working to safe guard those quarantined to stay at home and if someone were to encounter any one with the ink mark, to tell them to isolate themselves .. it is not my hand neither is it a deliberate effort to bring malign .. it's just that media needs fodder .. else it dies.”

Amitabh has been actively trying to spread awareness about COVID-19. Earlier this Sunday, Bollywood megastar had tweeted requesting his fans not to gather outside his bungalow Jalsa for their weekly darshan due to the pandemic and suggested them to stay safe.
