smiles in the Bollywood industry. Mr. Bachchan’s
hospitalization put the film industry on the edge. All
his pending film and other assignments are said to cost
a whooping amount of Rs. 250 Crore and now that there
are signs of him getting back on field the industry
is finally breathing a sigh of relief.
The Big ‘B’, who was recuperating at the
Lilavati Hospital, had completely recovered from a life-threatening
illness. He made a satisfactory progress following the
treatment, which he received since November 29. He was
flown in to Mumbai from New Delhi, when he experienced
a severe abdominal pain. On investigation, the doctors
decided to operate as they discovered he suffered from
jejunal diverticulum perforation (an ailment of the
small intestine).
Reading out a statement at a press conference held
at Lilavati hospital, vice-president Dr Narendra Trivedi
told media, ''Mr Bachchan was flown to Mumbai when he
experienced severe abdominal pain. He was promptly investigated
and a diagnosis of Jejunal (a part of small intestine)
diverticulum perforation was made. After careful assessment
of every aspect of his health, the team of treating
doctors decided to operate''
Sources say that He has recovered well form the operation
and can be discharged at any moment. He was kept on
a liquid diet after theoperation but now is back on
a solid food diet. The superstar is eager to get back
to work and has consulted an astrologer from Benares
concerning the date he should get discharged from the
hospital. The Bachchan family is a devote believer in
astrology and the surgery performed on Amitabh was also
at an astrologically favorable time. This Thursday may
be the day when Amitabh decides to go home.
Film analysts say that news of his discharge has brought
about an atmosphere of relief as usually when Amitabh
sneezes, it sends a chill down the film industry's spine.
This is since, so much is invested on the
megastar.
