Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan underwent angioplasty for his heart at a hospital in Mumbai on Friday morning.
The 81-year-old actor felt uneasy while attending events, so he was taken to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute in Mumbai for a general checkup, where the doctors suggested that he should undergo the operation, as reported by Hindustan Times citing ABP News.
Amid such reports about his health, Amitabh shared on X on Friday, “T 4950 - in gratitude ever…” He also shared a video promoting his Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) team. Amitabh Bachchan or his family are yet to release a statement.
The superstar had undergone wrist surgery earlier this year. In January, he shared pictures with Akshay Kumar on his blog, sporting a sling on his wrist, writing, “Akshay, one of the owners (of ISPL)..and an explanation to him about the surgery on my hand.”
In March last year, Amitabh was injured while shooting for Kalki 2898 AD in Hyderabad, with the harness straining his back, resulting in bed rest for the actor. He suffered from a torn muscle and strained rib cartilage then. Amitabh couldn’t travel to the San Diego Comic Con to promote the film last year due to medical restrictions.
