Thanking those who are working tirelessly for supplying essential food items and pharmaceuticals amid the lockdown, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Wednesday asked people to not hoard things.

The superstar took to Twitter to share the video message in which he is seen expressing gratitude to the supply warriors.

"While, on one hand when the entire country is adhering to the lockdown orders by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there are some selfless corona warriors that are helping us access our daily requirement essentials easily," he said.

"It is because of the selfless devotion of these supply warriors that the lockdown is being successful. I express my gratitude to such supply warriors with all my heart. This includes all those people who are working tirelessly for the supply of edible materials and pharmaceuticals," he added.

The 77-year-old actor also asked people to not hoard things and assured them that uninterrupted supply of daily essentials will continue in the country.
