Amitabh Bachchan has shared the first post on his official Instagram account since the reports of him being hospitalised surfaced on the internet. The Bollywood megastar has, however, dismissed the reports as “fake news”. In the post, which has gone viral on social media, Amitabh shared a photo with his son Abhishek Bachchan and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar from the ISPL 2024 final.
In the caption of his post, Amitabh talked about spending time with Sachin and wrote, “What a humbling experience t his evening at the ISPL FINALS ,to have spent time with the GREAT SACHIN .. and to learn and admire his incredible knowledge about Cricket.” Check it out here:
Soon after the picture was shared online, several users reacted to it. “Both Legends & pride of our nation sitting together,” one of the fans wrote. Several others also enquired about Big B’s health too. “How are you @amitabhbachchan sir … we are worried,” another comment read.
Earlier on Friday, reports of Amitabh Bachchan being admitted at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai made headlines. Several reports claimed that the 81-year-old Bollywood megastar underwent an angioplasty. However, hospital sources later told News18.com that it was “a routine check-up”.
Later, Amitabh was seen leaving the stadium after the ISPL finals when somebody from the crown asked him about his health. At first, the actor made a gresture from his hand to indicate his is fine. Following this, Big B responded verbally and said, “fake news”.
Amitabh Bachchan also underwent a surgery for his wrist earlier this year. Taking to his blog in January this year, Amitabh wrote, “The ISPL, as has been promoted and delivered in adverts, is well on its way to fructification and all the owners and the members that are involved, were needed to be in immortalised picture frames. So yes, a photo cum meet shoot .. a very quick in and out between the evening hours .. with our friends and colleagues .. such a joy .. Akshay, one of the owners .. and an explanation to him about the surgery on my hand.” Despite his surgery, Amitabh shot for his upcoming projects.
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan will soon be seen in Kalki 2898 AD with Prabhas and Deepika Padukone. Besides this, he also has Section 84 and the Hindi remake of The Intern in his pipeline.
