As the number of cases is still not reducing, no one wishes to take the risk. Along with the pandemic, the industry has lost several gems this year.
Actor Rishi Kapoor passed away in April this year. Earlier this year, his sister Ritu Nanda and a relative of Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter Shweta Bachchan also passed away. Hence, the Bachchan family doesn’t wish to host a party. Also, Big B along with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aaradhya had also tested COVID-19 positive weeks ago.
Talking about Ekta Kapoor, the report mentioned that the TV Czarina has no plans of hosting any Diwali 2020 due to the ongoing circumstances. Even Kapoor was quite heartbroken with the losses the industry dealt with this year.
Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan is currently shooting for Kaun Banega Crorepati 12. The show is running successfully for more than a decade now. It is still ruling the TRP charts like always.
