Actor Amitabh Bachchan was admitted to Mumbai’s Nanavati Hospital two days ago after being diagnosed with a liver problem. According to Vicky Lalwani, editor of news website Spot Boy, Amitabh Bachchan was admitted to the hospital after his condition deteriorated.
Amitabh Bachchan’s kidney is only 25% functional. He has been kept in an ICU. Since the news about Big B leaked to the media, there has been a beeline of people associated with Bollywood making visits to the Nanavati Hospital to meet the ailing actor. Famous gastroenterologist Dr Jayant S Barve is treating him and monitoring his health.
The condition of the superstar could be serious as the Twitter handles of Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek Bachchan have not been active for a while, which is unusual especially for the father who otherwise tweets every day. On 15 October, Bachchan Sr had uploaded a picture on Twitter at 1:03 PM, showing him shaking hands with a crowd of fans standing outside his house.
