Shweta Nanda talks about absence as Amitabh Bachchan and family battle Covid-19 crisis – bollywood

Actor Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda, posted a picture and spoke of ‘absence’ on Tuesday. The post was seen in the context of her family’s struggle against coronavirus.

Sharing a picture of the blue sky, she wrote: “… absence is like the sky, spread over everything” – C.S Lewis.” It is not clear where the picture is from but it appears to be from her parents’ home in Mumbai. The picture shows a rich blue sky with equally thick cloud cover. Sun makes an unclear but blazing appearance.

Shweta hasn’t been very regular with her posts of late. Her last post was on Father’s Day with her dad Amitabh from the time she was just born. Another one was to wish her parents on their wedding anniversary in June. July has been a worrying one for the Bachchan household. Mid-month, Amitabh and his son Abhishek Bachchan tested positive to coronavirus. A couple of days later, Aishwarya Rai and her daughter Aaradhya too tested positive to Covid-19.
