    Very sad. Best wishes for the quick recovery of all the Bachan family members.
    However, big B must be recollecting now his taali and thali didn't work. Also about the silly prediction of eliminating corona after the lighting of diya. Being educated, we shouldn't be andh bhakts.

    I wish the Bachan family members and all the Indians to get well soon. But what happened to the strange scientific justification of candle light from the big B. Taali and thali kuch kaam aayi? Being educated we should not be andh bhakts.

    Crores of people around the world are covid positive. Lakhs of them in India are covid positive. But when a celebrity turns positive, the world is so worried. Remember that everyone is human. Rich or Poor.

    These Bollywood stars get special treatment. They don't have much tension. They will not be treated like trash in our government hospitals.
    Let us pray for the entire world to recover and fight this Corona.
    Let us especially be worried about our own Dakshina Kannada and our people.
