Amitabh Bachchan visits hospital for routine checkup
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan was admitted to Nanavati hospital in Mumbai on Tuesday for what we earlier thought was a routine checkup but now reports say there could be some liver-related issue. The latest reports suggest that after four days, the superstar has finally left for his home with wife Jaya and son Abhishek Bachchan by his side.
Amitabh Bachchan, who has a history of stomach ailments, was operated in February 2012 at the Seven Hills hospital. He had complained of acute abdominal pain then and there were even chances of him undergoing a second operation, which fortunately did not take place.
In March 2017, he was rushed to a hospital again after he complained of uneasiness. He informed about his well being after coming out of the hospital through his Twitter handle.
In 2015, he made the startling revelation that when he contracted the Hepatitis B virus while undergoing treatment after meeting with an accident on the sets of Coolie in 1982. He had since lost 75 per cent of his liver due to cirrhosis.
