Amitabh Bachchan has tested positive for COVID-19 on ‘11 July 2020’ and he was admitted to Nanavati hospital for treatment. But the viral video is found to exist on the internet at least since ‘April 2020’. So, the video was not taken after he was tested COVID-19 positive and admitted to Nanavati hospital
