The news of Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Aaradhya Bachchan testing positive with Coronavirus sent shockwaves not only across the film industry in India, but across world. Earlier, the French ambassador to India, Emmanuel Lenain, joined the list of fans wishing for a speedy recovery of the megastar Amitabh Bachchan and son Abhishek Bachchan. Emmanuel Lenain took to Twitter and shared that he wishes for a speedy recovery of the father-son duo. He tweeted, "I join millions of fans of @SrBachchan and @juniorbachchanin wishing them a speedy recovery as they fight #covid19. Get well soon!" This comes days after Nepal stopped the transmission of all Indian private news channels except Doordarshan, while alleging them of airing reports hurting the country’s national sentiment. India-Nepal tensions: The tensions between India and Nepal started brewing after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated a 80-km-long strategically crucial road connecting the Lipulekh pass with Dharchula in Uttarakhand on May 8. Nepal had opposed India’s move claiming that the road lies completely within its territory. Later the Nepalese legislation passed a new political map through a constitutional amendment, incorporating the three strategically important Indian areas. Nepal’s move has been sternly criticized by India and its claims have been termed untenable. Oli’s move brought his chair into question, and former prime minister 'Prachanda', demanded his resignation, saying his recent anti-India remarks were "neither politically correct nor diplomatically appropriate."
