Now Big B spreads the C word. Actor posts corona awareness video, written in verse, on Twitter

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan on Friday morning posted a video on Twitter to share his views on coronavirus. And in true Big B style, he added a touch of poetry to it.

The video begins with the Big B addressing the COVID-19 outbreak, and then reciting a poem that he has penned. From rendering advice on prevention - that includes washing hands and staying safe - he is seen narrating the poem to raise awareness about the pandemic. He also poses that with so many voices advocating so many remedies, who should one heed in order to stay safe?



In a line filled with social messaging, he quips, “Don’t touch anyone without washing your hands with soap.”

In another post, the thespian is seen making a variety of expressions during a photo shoot. Dressed in a black bandhgala with a white salwar and a purple pocket square, the actor mentions that he is “getting set to advocate the preventions necessary about CoVID 19 , ... this is for UNICEF, and the Health Ministry of GOI .. the message should be out soon.”


Bachchan’s message comes at a time when more than 70 people in the country have been infected by the highly contagious virus.
