Reports say Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan was hospitalized in Mumbai. Details about his health status remain secret at this time. Navbharat Times said that Bachchan had a leg angioplasty for a clot.
However, there has been no formal confirmation about this subject. The news of his hospitalization broke soon after Bachchan published a tweet expressing appreciation and praising the Majhi Mumbai squad in the Indian Street Premier League.
In a recent blog post, Bachchan reflected on the changing attitudes towards him as he ages. Turning 81 in October this year, he shared, “Now with age the ridicule has lessened… now with time, they that are asked or are brought into the picture by me, are convinced that the man is 81, old, decrepit and mental, bear him… it shan’t be for long… and the responses go on with a sense of… poor guy, so uninformed, let him be etc. etc. etc…” He also noted a newfound fearlessness in expressing his opinions on matters.
On the professional front, Bachchan is set to grace the screen in Nag Ashwin’s upcoming sci-fi film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, alongside Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani, slated for release on May 9. Additionally, fans are eagerly anticipating his reunion with Rajinikanth in ‘Thalaivar 170’, marking their collaboration after 33 years, with filming having concluded last year.
