Renowned Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan has been admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai, sparking concerns among his legion of fans about his health condition. The 81-year-old icon, who recently shared a tweet about attending an ISPL match, was swiftly hospitalized after reportedly undergoing an angioplasty surgery. Contrary to initial worries, reports suggest that Bachchan is receiving treatment for peripheral heart issues rather than coronary concerns.
Sources close to the family revealed, “An angioplasty was performed to address a clot in his leg, not related to his heart.” However, further details on Bachchan’s health remain awaited as updates on his condition continue to emerge.
Last year, in March, Bachchan faced an injury during the filming of Project K, where he suffered a broken rib cartilage. Recounting the incident on his blog, Bachchan detailed the mishap during an action sequence of the film, resulting in a muscle tear in his right rib cage. The actor described the discomfort, stating, “Strapping has been done, and rest has been advised. Yes, it’s painful, particularly on movement and breathing.” Bachchan expressed regret over the suspension of work commitments due to the injury, emphasizing the necessity of rest for proper healing.
Project K, directed by Nag Ashwin, is a highly anticipated pan-India film featuring Amitabh Bachchan alongside stars like Deepika Padukone and Prabhas. Despite setbacks caused by his injury, Bachchan’s dedication to the project remains unwavering, reflecting his professional ethos and commitment to his craft.
As fans await further updates on Bachchan’s health, the actor’s resilience and determination continue to inspire millions, reaffirming his indomitable spirit in the face of adversity.
