Abhishek and Amitabh Bachchan had a tough July when they were tested positive for coronavirus. Soon, Abhishek's actress wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya tested positive for coronavirus and were later admitted to Nanavati hospital for treatment. The mother-daughter duo was soon discharged after testing negative. While Big B was released on August 2, Abhishek underwent treatment for another week till he tested negative.

In an interview, Abhishek recalled the tough days and also spoke about his frame of mind post-COVID-19. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Abhishek said, "I was more filled with concern for my family than anything else. My father (Amitabh Bachchan), wife (Aishwarya) and daughter (Aaradhya) got it too, thankfully the rest of the family did not. Obviously, you're concerned about your loved ones and want them to be alright. There's little that you can do. I've to thank all the doctors and nurses who cared and worked so hard. I never actually had time to sit and contemplate. At that time, energies and concentration is all on your loved ones. After recuperating, I was back to work."
