Bollywood news: Karan Johar's son Yash thinks Amitabh Bachchan can take coronavirus away, shares adorable video

New Delhi: Filmmaker Karan Johar on Sunday shared an adorable video with son Yash, who thinks that Amitabh Bachchan can cure coronavirus. The video was shared from their home as they are staying indoors amid the countrywide COVID-19 lockdown. The 47-year-old director took to Instagram and posted the video in which he is having an intriguing conversation with his 3-year-old son.

In the video, the `Kuch Kuch Hota Hai` director asks, "Yash, how tough these coronavirus times are. Who do you think will take this away?"

To which the toddler replies, "Amitabh Bachchan."

Karan seems stumped with the immediate answer by his son. He asks Yash if he "should call and ask Big B to take coronavirus away?"

He says no, and walks away saying, "No, Amitabh Bachchan is not going to come to my room."

KJo captioned the post as, "There is someone who can take away the coronavirus."
