The veteran actor took to his official blog and shared a note informing everyone that he has tested negative.

Taking to his blog on Thursday, Big B wrote, "Back at work, your prayers...gratitude...negative last night....and 9 days isolation over... mandatory is 7 days...My love as ever to all .. you are kind and concerned throughout...the family Ef so full of care...have only my folded hands for you."

A source close to the Sony TV show told Indianexpress.com, "While he had completed the seven-day quarantine, we were waiting for his negative report. As soon as that came in, we decided to get back to work. He himself had been wanting to get into the action mode soon, and we couldn’t have been happier to have him back. While the team takes utmost precaution on set, we have made the protocols a little stricter."

On the night of August 23, Amitabh took to his Twitter account and tweeted, "I have just tested CoViD + positive...all those that have been in my vicinity and around me, please get yourself checked and tested also." As soon as he shared the news, fans wished for his speedy recovery.
