Mumbai:

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Friday dismissed experiences of ailing well being as “fake news”, placing an finish to rumours about his hospitalisation. Social media platforms have been flooded earlier within the day with nervous followers enquiring about Bachchan’s well being after a number of experiences claimed the megastar had undergone an angioplasty process for both a clot in his leg or a blocked artery. In the night, Amitabh Bachchan and son Abhishek have been photographed on the Dadoji Kondadev Stadium in Thane attending the ultimate match of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) between Majhi Mumbai vs Tiigers of Kolkata, hours after experiences of his hospital go to surfaced.

In a video, circulating on social media, Amitabh Bachchan is seen exiting the stadium when somebody from the group asks him about his well being. The actor is initially seen gesturing together with his fingers that all the pieces is okay. The individual then requested him, “How are you? All fine? to which Amitabh Bachchan said, “Fake information.” The reports started in the afternoon with some saying he had gone to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital for a routine check. Others said he was hospitalised for an angioplasty — a balloon procedure to open up blocked arteries and blood vessels — to remove a blockage in his leg. And there were some who reported he had an angioplasty for a blocked artery.

However, there was no confirmation from either the hospital or his office for much of the day. And though the reports could not be independently verified, #Amitabh Bachchan and #Kokilaben Hospital were top trends on X. Among those who wrote were Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam. “Praying for Amitabh Bachchan’s speedy recovery. #AmitabhBachchan,” he posted on X. Scores of others wrote wishing him to get well soon and that they were praying for his good health.

Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in a cameo appearance in Tiger Shroff’s Ganapath. His upcoming films include Deepika Padukone and Prabhas-starrer Kalki AD 2898. He will also be seen alongside Rajinikanth in the Tamil film Vettaiyan.
