The rumours began after journalist Vickey Lalwani shared a video claiming that Amitabh Bachchan was in the hospital. “Big B has been admitted since Saturday, 16th May. I learned about it this afternoon, and I rushed to the hospital and confirmed the news there. He is kept on the 3rd floor of A wing in the VIP enclosure. Later, I saw Abhishek Bachchan also came to visit his father. Big B has been suffering from stomach-related issues since the time he was hurt in 1982 on the sets of Coolie during a fight sequence. Big B’s health is improving, and he is stable,” he said.
However, shortly afterwards, a PTI report dismissed the claims as untrue. “He went in for a routine health check-up and came back home. He usually goes every month for a check-up,” PTI quoted its source as saying.
