Amitabh Bachchan has denied that he underwent an angioplasty at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Hospital on Friday morning. Sources had previously confirmed to Indian Express that the 81-year-old actor had undergone the procedure – to improve blood flow in blocked arteries – at the hospital early Friday. An official statement was not issued. Bachchan attended a cricket match later on Friday, where, in a brief exchange with a group of photographers, he described the angioplasty reports as ‘fake news’.

On Friday morning, Amitabh Bachchan shared an update on his blog where he spoke about “gratitude.” He wrote, “Ever in gratitude for all your prayers and love .. Ever in gratitude for the grace of your affection .. Ever in gratitude for your continuity .. Love and more later.” He also shared a tweet on X and wrote, “T 4950 – in gratitude ever ..”

He also shared a video from Indian Street Premiere League, where he was in attendance a week ago.

Earlier this week, Amitabh was shooting for one of his upcoming films, Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD. He had shared on his blog, “Late again .. but late from work last night .. as the completion of KALKI approaches .. and as has been informed it is May 9th of the release .. So last efforts to get all in shape and in order to bring to all an experience that promises the vision of the makers ..”

In 2023, Amitabh Bachchan suffered an injury on the sets of Kalki 2898 AD. In March 2023, he suffered an injury to the rib cartilage and a muscle tear.
