Actor Amitabh Bachchan, who was discharged from Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital after testing negative for COVID-19 on Sunday, thanked Amul for paying a special tribute to him in his latest post. The actor, 77, was admitted to the hospital for 23 days after he tested positive for the virus on July 11. Big B, on Monday, got a really special "homecoming gift" from Amul in its new topical. The dairy brand posted a topical featuring Amitabh Bachchan sitting on a sofa and holding a mobile phone with the famous Amul Girl standing right next to him. The actor's caricature showcases him showing thumbs up. "AB beats C," read the punchline on the poster.
Sharing the poster, Big B wrote: "Thank you Amul for continuously thinking of me in your unique poster campaigns. Varsho se Amul ne sammanit kiya hai mujhe. Ek sadharan shaksiyat ko 'amulya' bana dia tumne."
