Bachchan shared the news on his official blog
Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan and KBC host on Sunday, October 23, said he was recently rushed to a hospital here after he suffered an accidental cut vein on his left calf, a PTI report in the Tribune, Chandigarh, says.
Bachchan, who turned 80 earlier this year on October 11, shared the news on his official blog and said he had received stitches to control the bleeding.
“A jutting piece of metal sliced my left calve and cut the vein .. the vein when cut spurted ‘red’ uncontrollably .. but I had the nerve to get the doc and then to the OT for stitches .. with the assistance of team of staff and docs in time..,” Bachchan wrote.
The “Kaun Banega Crorepati” host said doctors have advised him to not strain or try walking, even on a treadmill “in deference to medical advice to not stand, to not move, to not strain on it, not even on a TreadMill”.
“But extremes do not last long.. they either perish or leave an indelible mark .. at strategic places on the body or bodies .. that is an embarrassment .. takes a while to step out of it , so help me God .. !!! (sic)” Bachchan wrote.
On Saturday, October 22, the actor had posted photos from the sets of “Kaun Banega Crorepati” that showed him running with a bandage on his left leg.
“Running striding jogging on to work .. into that horizon of loud cheers and love .. and your PRAYERS,” he had written in the caption.
On the film front, Bachchan has so far featured in four films in 2022 — “Jhund”, “Runway 34”, “Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva” and “Goodbye”.
He will be next seen in Sooraj Barjatya’s film “Uunchai”, which is set to debut in theatres on November 11. The movie also stars Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Parineeti Chopra, Danny Dengzongpa and Boman Irani
