Amitabh Bachchan didn't undergo surgery:Actor clarifies over ICU claims, 'I am perfectly fine, the post was misunderstood, it was about Messi'

On Tuesday, Amitabh Bachchan shared a post writing, 'In the hospital, after a surgery and in the ICU, under the care of experienced doctors and medical staff, then discharge from the hospital and return home.' Ever since the post came out, it was speculated that Big B had been discharged from the hospital after surgery. Now, he himself has clarified in a new blog that he was neither in the ICU nor did he undergo any surgery. His post was misunderstood. Clarifying in a new blog, Amitabh Bachchan wrote: I am perfectly fine. My post was misunderstood. I was just giving an example. My point was that after a major surgery or staying in the ICU, the most difficult time begins when you return home and face your weak or damaged condition. "Just like that, when a champion loses, the hardest battle for them is with the emotions raging within. I was referring to Argentina's loss and Lionel Messi's mental state at that time, a champion who faced defeat. But people assumed I was talking about myself." Further, he wrote, "People misunderstood it. Every champion has to accept that with time, a new champion will emerge. It's not easy for a champion to believe that someone else has taken their place. But this is the rule of life, and it will always happen." Finally, Big B writes, Suppose, God forbid, you have to go to the hospital for the treatment of some illness or problem. When you go to the hospital, your body is in its normal state. Then, after surgery or treatment, the illness gets cured, but living with a changed body afterwards and managing yourself again is the most difficult phase. It is possible that after treatment, your body may not be the same as before. Its way of functioning might change. Accepting this change is not easy. But our body is amazing. It adapts itself to circumstances, learns to work again. Perhaps not like before, but it still moves forward. The mindset of a defeated champion is also somewhat similar. Which post caused the misunderstanding Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his social media account late Tuesday night, The game is over, but the work continues. A little later, he had written in the blog, 'In the hospital, after a surgery and in the ICU, under the care of experienced doctors and medical staff, then discharge from the hospital and return home. This period of returning home is the most difficult. Physically, mentally, and in terms of everyday life too. You might have been a respected champion, and one day defeat stands before you. This is the most difficult phase of life.' News of hospitalisation in May too On May 19, journalist Vicky Lalwani claimed on his YouTube channel that Amitabh Bachchan was admitted to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai. He had said that he was admitted on May 16. However, when Dainik Bhaskar contacted a close family source to confirm the news, it was revealed that Amitabh was taken to Nanavati Hospital on May 16 for a routine check-up. He undergoes routine check-ups every month. He returned home immediately after this. Vlog and post amidst news of hospitalisation Amitabh Bachchan had made a meaningless post with some strange words from his official X account on May 20. He wrote at 12:03 AM - Pilori Barumba. Big B's 75% liver damaged 83-year-old Big B is alive with only 25% of his liver; 75% of his liver is damaged. After the accident on the set of the film Coolie, doctors had clinically declared him dead. It was difficult to survive even for 3-4 hours, Amitabh endured that pain for 4 days On July 26, 1982, Amitabh Bachchan was shooting an action sequence for the film Coolie. As per the shot's demand, Puneet Issar had to punch Amitabh, and he was supposed to fall onto a table. This was a job for a body double, but Amitabh shot it himself for perfection. The punch landed hard, causing a corner of the table to hit Amitabh's abdomen. There was no blood, but Big B was in a terrible state due to the pain. When he went to the hospital, doctors couldn't understand the exact cause. Big B spent two days relying on painkillers, but when the pain didn't stop, he was then admitted to St. Philomena's Hospital in Bengaluru. Doctors had also given up hope Amitabh Bachchan had an X-ray, but the exact cause still couldn't be determined. Many tests were done, but when the injury itself wasn't found, how could treatment be given? On the third day, when the pain became unbearable, doctors re-examined him with an X-ray. It was observed that gas was visible below the diaphragm in the X-ray, which was a sign of leakage. In fact, due to the injury, Amitabh's intestines had ruptured, and an infection had spread due to lack of timely treatment. On the fourth day, renowned surgeon H. S. Bhatia examined Amitabh's case and immediately suggested an operation. Before the operation, Amitabh developed a 102-degree fever and his heartbeat rose to 180 instead of 72. During the operation, it was found that the intestines had ruptured from the inside. In such a condition, it was difficult to survive even for 3-4 hours, but he had been struggling for four days. On the fourth day, Big B went into a coma. Two operations were performed, and he was kept in the hospital for two months.
