(CNN)<\/em>Amitabh Bachchan, one of India’s most famous film stars, says he has tested negative for Covid-19 and been discharged from hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 77-year-old Bollywood actor spent around three weeks in hospital after testing positive last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he told fans on Sunday: “I have tested COVID negative, have been discharged. I am back home in solitary quarantine.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bachchan was one of the most high-profile figures to test positive amid India’s coronavirus outbreak. Hailed by many as the country’s greatest living actor, he is revered in his home nation and a legend within the Bollywood industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He tweeted: “The excellent care and nursing at Nanavati (hospital) made it possible for me to see this day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bachchan’ son, Abhishek Bachchan, also tested positive for the virus last month, and his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and granddaughter Aradhya were confirmed to have the virus the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the other three are back home, Abhishek is still in Mumbai’s Nanavati Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He tweeted: “I, unfortunately, due to some comorbidities remain Covid-19 positive and remain in hospital. Again, thank you for your continued wishes and prayers for my family.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abhishek said he was humbled by well wishes and added: “I’ll beat this and come back healthier! Promise.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stars make up the first family of Bollywood, but have fallen victim to a severe outbreak that has swept through India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country has suffered more than 1.75 million positive cases, the third-highest in the world, according to Johns Hopkins University. At least 37,000 people have died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
