Amitabh Bachchan raises concern On Tuesday, a report by Vickey Lalwani claimed that Amitabh had been admitted to Nanavati Hospital’s VIP wing since May 16 due to stomach-related issues. The report further stated that his son, Abhishek Bachchan, had also visited him during his stay.

Later, a report by NDTV stated, “Amitabh Bachchan underwent a routine check-up (here). He has now been discharged and has returned home after the examination."

A source told ETimes, “Mr Bachchan did visit Nanavati Hospital on Saturday; however, it was a regular check-up which he goes for every month, and he returned home after that. The news is absolutely false. He is absolutely fine, and after his regular hospital visit on Saturday, he was back home and was also seen driving his car from Jalsa to Janak the next day. He is currently at home."

The reports surrounding Amitabh’s health left fans and well-wishers concerned. Amid the growing speculation, the megastar took to his blog to share a fresh post, though he chose not to address the rumours about his health. Instead, he sent love and good wishes to his fans.

He concluded the post by writing, "Love, Prayers and more."
