After illness, Now improving steadily AMITABH BACHCHAN....
AMItABH Bachchan — the superhero whose fans span many countries, many communities, many age groups. The smallest ailment affecting the star has the nation in a frenzy. Which is why when the Big B underwent a surgery at Lilavati Hospital, all hell broke loose. But somethings are preordained. Like the stars in Amitabh’s case. The same astrological situation that had bogged down Amitabh in 1982 during the making of Coolie, has returned. The planetary configuration is not favouring the superstar of the millennium. It was mass hysteria in its fullest form! The sudden illness of Indian cinema's biggest superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who was earlier this week hospitalised with stomach pain at Delhi's Escorts Heart Institute and later at Mumbai's Lilawati hospital where he underwent a major surgery for inflammation and perforation of the small and large intestine, seemed to have shaken a nation for whom the Big B epitomised Bollywood, one of the two favourite obsessions of its people (the other being cricket).
The huge crowd of people that gathered outside the Delhi's Escorts hospital on Monday and, later, outside Mumbai's Lilawati hospital, had to be seen to be believed and symbolised the Superstar Of the Millennium's "immense hold over the public psyche"
The condition of megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who underwent a surgery for an intestinal problem, is steadily improving.
Doctors at Lilavati hospital say that he could even be discharged from hospital in about a week.
On Saturday, nasty smses about the actor's health had upset his family. To clarify the status about his health, an impromptu press conference was organized.
The actor reportedly read a newspaper and even chatted with the nurses for a while.
