In the video, the megastar introduces himself in his signature style, "Namaskar, Deviyon Aur Sajjanon, Hum Hain Amitabh Bachchan." And then starts off with the poem. He speaks of various precautionary measures one should take to stay safe, like staying home, as well as addressed the myths- like kalonji powder and amla juice- that are doing the rounds. Big B then says that let's try everything to protect ourselves from coronavirus and concludes by an open challenge to the disease. Here's the video:
