On March 15, it was reported that Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan was admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai in the morning. Some reports mentioned the actor underwent angioplasty in the morning. However, later, some reports mentioned that the hospital source had said it was just a routine check-up. The Brahmastra actor was discharged from the hospital the same day. Now, it looks like Mr Bachchan has called the news of undergoing angioplasty surgery “fake news”.
Last evening, Amitabh Bachchan was spotted at the Dadoji Kondadev Stadium in Thane. The Kaun Banega Crorepati host attended the final match of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL). The game took place between Majhi Mumbai and Tigers of Kolkata. After the match, Senior Bachchan was exiting the stadium when a paparazzo asked him about his health.
In a video that’s now going viral on the internet, when the pap asked Amitabh about his health, the megastar gestured and said, “All good”. Bachchan leaned and said, “Fake news”, smiling and walking ahead. Does this mean the news of him undergoing angioplasty is fake? Well, looking at him all fit and fine at the match event shows that he’s healthy.
At the match, Amitabh Bachchan was spotted with his son and actor Abhishek Bachchan and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
Meanwhile, when the reports of his hospitalisation and surgery came out yesterday, Amitabh Bachchan posted something on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote, “T 4950 – in gratitude ever ..” Until the Bachchan family makes an official statement, we can be assured that Amitabh is fine and has no major health concerns.
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan will be next seen in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD. The sci-fi dystopian film also stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Prakash Raj and Disha Patani. The film will hit the theatres on May 9, 2024. Mr Bachchan reportedly plays Ashwatthama in the film. The actor also has the Hindi remake of The Intern movie alongside Deepika Padukone. The Hollywood film stars Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway in the leading roles.
