Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, 81, has been hospitalised. He has been admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai, News18 reported. It was not immediately known what prompted the veteran actor to get medical help. LiveMint could not independently verify the report.
Bachchan is being “treated for peripheral, and not coronary heart,” the publication added while citing sources. “An angioplasty was performed on a clot in his leg, and not on his heart,” the insider added.
Hours before reports about him getting hospitalised emerged, Big B posted on X (formerly Twitter) in his signature style by mentioning the number of post. In his post n. 4,950, he wrote, “in gratitude ever”.
In another post, also numbered T 4950, he wrote, “Aankh kholke dekh lo, kaan lagake sun lo, Majhi Mumbai ki hogi Jai Jaikaar, yeh baat ab maanlo (Open your eyes, hear if you can, Majhi Mumbai will emerge victorious. It’s time you accept this)” while sharing a promotional video of his Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) team, Majhi Mumbai.
On March 14, Majhi Mumbai won against Chennai Singams, owned by Tamil star Suriya, by 58 runs with Abhishek Dalhor's outstanding performance. Bachchan’s team have made it to the final of the first ISPL - T10 league.
