Big B in hospital, fans worried

Good Evening friends,
I just go some shocking news. I am Big fan of Amitabh Bachchan. I got news that he been hospitalized today with the abdominal pain. Read the following news and also view the pictures.

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who tunred 66 on Saturday, was rushed to the Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai following abdominal pain and then shifted to the Lilavati Hospital after a preliminary medical check up.

The Big B was celebrating his birthday at his residence Pratiksha when he suddenly experienced severe pain, a family source said.

He was rushed to Nanavati Hospital, barely a kilometre from his house in Juhu, around 12.30 pm (local time). Less than an hour later, he was taken to Lilavati Hospital, located around five kilometres away at Bandra Reclamation.


Sources say it is a case of insicional hernia, a repercussion of his earlier surgery, which had to be carried out when he was injured during a shoot.

He is at Lilavati hospital undergoing an endoscopy at the moment doctors has told NDTV that he could be in hospital for up to 20 days.

The entire Bachchan family accompanied him to hospital and he's apparently taken the same room where his mother Teji Bachchan was also kept.

Incisional hernia in simple terms is a result of an incompletely healed surgical wound. It appears as a bulge or protrusion at or near the area of the earlier incision.



In fact virtually any earlier abdominal operation can develop incisional hernia and Bachchan did undergo a surgery of the small intestine in 2005. It is also among the most frustrating and difficult hernias to treat.

The Bachchans are regularly treated at Lilavati Hospital. Many Bollywood stars undergo treatment there and last month Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama was also admitted there.

Amitabh's daughter Shweta, son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya accompanied him to the hospital, while Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh who was in the city to take part in the birthday celebrations later visited him at the hospital.

The hospital has been cordoned off by police since they expect a large number of fans to come there. (With Agency inputs)


WISH AND PRAY TO GOD FOR FAST, SPEEDY AND SAFE RECOVERY OF AMITABH BACHCHAN.
