Amitabh Bachchan Takes A Sly Dig At Fake Reports That Claimed He Was Hospitalised

On Friday, March 15, several reports claimed that Amitabh Bachchan was hospitalised and underwent angioplasty for either a blocked artery or a clot in his leg. However, later that day, he was snapped with his son Abhishek Bachchan at the Dadoji Kondadev Stadium in Thane, attending the final match of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) between Majhi Mumbai vs Tiigers of Kolkata, where he interacted with the fans and refuted the reports claiming it fake. He assured his fans that he was doing fine.

Now, Big B has taken a sly dig at those who circulated the fake reports about his health in his daily blog on Tumblr.

Taking to his blog, Bachchan wrote a long note informing his ardent fans how the family celebrated his daughter Shweta Bachchan's 50th birthday. He started his note with these words, "A day filled with the love of family and the greetings and the hilarity of the ‘progress reports,’" followed by a laughing emoticons. Seemingly making fun of all the reports which claimed he was unwell.

The rest of the note was about his daughter Shweta. The megastar recalled the time when they first brought her to their newly constructed bungalow, Prateeksha, where they currently reside. “At Prateeksha, she was brought to the home, our first home of our own, when she was barely 2, and Abhishek a few months old… and today to see them celebrate the day in the same home on the same table and surroundings… LIFE IS A WONDER… Children and grandchildren all together,” he concluded.
