With Diwali just few days away the Bachchan family will not have their annual family gathering with near and dear ones.  The news was confirmed by Abhishek Bachchan who stated that the COVID 19 outbreak and a death in the family is the reason behind calling off the Diwali bash.Talking to Spotboye, Abhishek mentioned that the decision was taken after his sister Shweta Bachchan Nanda’s mother in law, Ritu Nanda passed away early this year. 

He also mentioned that given the rise in COVID 19 cases, Diwali parties are a distant dream as of now. “It’s true. We had a death in the family this year. My sister Shweta’s mother-in-law (Ritu Nanda) passed away. Besides, who hosts parties at a time like this? Civilisation is going through the worst crisis ever. We all need to be as careful as possible. Observing the utmost social distance is the only option we have. And that too is not a guarantee against infection. Diwali parties and other social occasions are for now a distant dream,” the Guru actor was quoted saying.

In July this year four members of the Bachchan family tested positive to coronavirus - Amitabh, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, her daughter Aaradhya and Abhishek - were all admitted in Mumbai’s Nanavati hospital. Aishwarya and her daughter were the first to get cured and leave while Abhishek was the last to recover. Abhishek, who was last seen in the web series Breathe: Into the Shadows, will be seen next in Harshad Mehta biopic, The Big Bull and Anurag Basu’s Ludo.
