Amitabh Bachchan is constantly updating his social media feed, either with his health updates or sometimes just thanking each and everyone who are praying for his speedy recovery. In his latest tweet, Big B, who has been admitted to Nanavati Hospital after being found COVID positive, has expressed gratitude to fans and well-wishers for their blessings, love and prayers.

Mentioning how he has been receiving good wishes and prayers on all his social media handles - Twitter, Instagram and Facebook especially, Big B added that hospital "protocol" was "restrictive", so he couldn't say more. "T 3596 - I receive all your blessings and love and prayers for our well being .. on SMS, on WhatsApp, on Insta, on Blog .. and all possible social media .. my gratitude has no bounds .. Hospital protocol is restrictive, I cannot say more .. Love," tweeted Amitabh Bachchan, ending his tweet with emojis of folded hands and the heart sign.

Also on the tweet numbered T 3596, Big B posted a picture of deities, along with the Sanskrit chant: "Tvameva mata cha pita tvameva; tvameva bandhush cha sakha tvameva; tvameva vidya dravinam tvameva; tvameva sarvam mama dev dev (you are my mother and you are my father; you are my friend and you are my companion; you are knowledge and you are wealth; O lord you are everything to me)."
