Coronavirus: Three generations of Bollywood Bachchan family infected

Three generations of a high-profile Bollywood family have tested positive for Covid-19, officials in the Indian state of Maharashtra say.

Results on Sunday showed the actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a former Miss World, and her daughter Aaradhya, eight, were infected with coronavirus. Her husband Abhishek and father-in-law Amitabh, both also actors, were taken to hospital on Saturday with the virus. Both men were said to have mild symptoms. Abhishek Bachchan tweeted that they would remain in hospital "till the doctors decide otherwise".
Aishwarya Bachchan, 46, is one of Bollywood's most famous faces both in India and abroad, featuring in several Bollywood and Hollywood films. She won the Miss World pageant in 1994 and is Goodwill Ambassador for UNAIDS. In 2003 she was the first Indian actress to be a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival. Aishwarya and her daughter are said to be asymptomatic. Her husband tweeted to say they would be self-isolating at home. Outpouring of supportOn Saturday Amitabh Bachchan told his millions of Twitter followers he had tested positive for Covid-19. "I have tested Covid positive, shifted to hospital, hospital informing authorities, family and staff undergone tests, results awaited," he wrote. Bachchan, 77, has been involved in 200 films over five decades.

He and Abhishek, 44, were taken to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday. Abhishek described them both as having mild symptoms. Amitabh is currently in the isolation unit of the hospital, news agency ANI reported, quoting a public relations officer for the hospital. He urged anyone who had been close to him in the past 10 days to get tested. His wife Jaya had tested negative, officials said. It was not clear whether results for other family members were yet in. Mumbai municipal officials have since put up banners outside the actor's house in the city, classifying it as a "containment zone".
The news has led to an outpouring of support for the family on social media. Among those paying their respects were actress Sonam K Ahuja and former India cricket player Irfan Pathan.

"Dear Amitabh ji, I join the whole Nation in wishing you a quick recovery! After all, you are the idol of millions in this country, an iconic superstar! We will all take good care of you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!" said India's Health Minister Harsh Vardhan. Bachchan Snr has enjoyed starring roles in hit movies such as Zanjeer and Sholay. Since rising to fame in the 1970s, he has won numerous accolades including four National Film Awards and 15 Filmfare Awards. France has also bestowed its highest civilian award, the Legion of Honour, for his contribution to cinema. Outside acting, Bachchan Snr had a brief stint in politics and was elected as a member of India's parliament in 1984 at the behest of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. But he resigned three years later, disillusioned by a corruption scandal under Mr Gandhi's government. In recent months, he has been prominent in helping the government get its message across in the fight against coronavirus. India saw a record rise in the number of coronavirus cases by 27,100 on Sunday, with the total climbing to nearly 850,000 - the third highest caseload in the world. There have been complaints about a lack of both testing and frontline medical staff.

Pizza Hut's largest U.S. franchisee files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

1/7/2020

Pizza Hut is one of the rare companies to report same-store sales growth during the pandemic, but that follows years of slumping sales.

NPC International, the largest U.S. franchisee of Yum Brands’ Pizza Hut, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Wednesday. The company operates more than 1,200 Pizza Huts and nearly 400 Wendy’s restaurants.
In contrast to most of the restaurant industry, Pizza Hut is one of the rare companies to report same-store sales growth in April and May, thanks to higher digital and delivery sales. But the coronavirus pandemic follows years of slumping U.S. sales for Pizza Hut, and NPC has struggled with a debt burden of roughly $1 billion. Seeking Chapter 11 protection means that NPC can continue to operate while it tries to turn business around. Pizza Hut said in a statement that NPC’s locations of the pizza chain continue to serve food. The franchisee pre-negotiated a restructuring agreement with most of its lenders.
“While NPC’s Chapter 11 filing was expected, we view it as an opportunity to create a better future for NPC’s Pizza Hut restaurants,” a Pizza Hut spokesperson said in a statement. “As NPC works through this process, we support an outcome resulting in an organization with a lower, more sustainable level of debt, ownership focus on operational excellence and a greater level of restaurant investment.”

In 2019, NPC saw its debt slide further and further into junk territory after credit downgrades from S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s. Both ratings agencies downgraded the franchisee’s debt in February after it did not make interest payments due to lenders on Jan. 31.
In a note published Tuesday before the bankruptcy filing, Cowen analyst Andrew Charles estimated that Yum could lose up to $54.2 million in revenue if NPC stops paying royalty fees.
NPC joins a host of other companies that filed for bankruptcy during the pandemic, including Chuck E. Cheese’s parent company CEC Entertainment, rental car company Hertz and retailers J. Crew and J.C. Penney.
