According to a Mumbai Mirror report, Bachchan said at the event, "I was a TB patient years ago. I have never spoken about it on a public platform, but now is the time. If it could happen to me, it can happen to anyone. I was weak and I had lost appetite. Blood tests revealed that I had TB." He added that he underwent treatment for a year. "I was in a good environment and I was fortunate enough to get healthy food. Sometimes, we do get exposed to the disease at certain places. It didn't take me long to agree to be brand ambassador for this campaign," he said. In 2010, Bachchan had blogged about contracting the disease. "Earlier, TB patients were sent to sanitariums but now the best treatment is available here," he said, emphasising that treatment should be availed as early as possible. Bachchan has acted in two minute-long TV advertisements, in which he plays a taxi driver and a restaurant manager respectively and emphasises on getting a sputum test done if one has been suffering from a cough for more than two weeks. The actor has also given a voice-over to radio jingles and he will be the face on the TB awareness posters too, the report concludes.

Money is certainly an issue when you are fighting cancer but there are hospitals like AIIMS in Delhi that have very good doctors who can take care of you. I have been working with Living with Cancer, an organization in Delhi started by Shiladitya Sengupta, helping cancer patients. I donate whatever I can raise. I have started a line of cocktail saris with a designer and I am trying to donate to this organization from the sale. In India is we don't have enough oncologists. Also, the drugs need to be more accessible here." [sic
