Abhishek's wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan & daughter Aaradhya also tested positive and were initially isolated at home. Later, they were also moved to the hospital. Amitabh Bachchan's wife Jaya Bachchan tested negative for the deadly coronavirus. Jalsa, the Bachchan family residence in Mumbai was sealed off by the BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation), as were the other three bungalows owned by the family.
