<p>The person then asked him, "How are you? All fine? to which Bachchan said, "Fake news."</p>

<p>The reports started in the afternoon with some saying he had gone to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital for a routine check. Others said he was hospitalised for an angioplasty -- a balloon procedure to open up blocked arteries and blood vessels -- to remove a blockage in his leg. And there were some who reported he had an angioplasty for a blocked artery.</p>

<p>However, there was no confirmation from either the hospital or his office for much of the day. And though the reports could not be independently verified, #Amitabh Bachchan and #Kokilaben Hospital were top trends on X.</p>

<p>Among those who wrote were Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam. “Praying for Amitabh Bachchan’s speedy recovery. #AmitabhBachchan,” he posted on X. Scores of others wrote wishing him to get well soon and that they were praying for his good health.</p>

<p>Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in a cameo appearance in Tiger Shroff’s “Ganapath”. His upcoming films include Deepika Padukone and Prabhas-starrer “Kalki AD 2898”. He will also be seen alongside Rajinikanth in the Tamil film “Vettaiyan”.</p>

B-town wishes Amitabh Bachchan on his 80th birthday

<p>Amitabh Bachchan, who is unarguably Bollywood's biggest superstar of all time, is so passionate about his craft that even at the age of 79 (soon to be 80), he hasn't stopped working. In the span of over five decades of his career, Big B has worked in over 200 films and has won several accolades for his pathbreaking performances on screen. His achievements and popularity stand proof of his passion for&nbsp;acting and showbiz. But, did you know things were not always this smooth and easy for the superstar?</p>

<p>There was a time when Big B was neck-deep in debt. He was bankrupt, had no work or money and was even unable to put food on the table for his family. Let's take a trip down memory lane to remember how the actor once opened up about the darkest phase of his life.</p>

<p>Back in 1999, the actor faced massive losses after he invested huge sums of money in his production house, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd. (ABCL). According to reports, he owed more than Rs 90 crore to different people, at the time, and was in a financial rut. Several people, who once expressed the desire to work with him, threatened him at his house and&nbsp;hurled abuses to get their money back.&nbsp;It was undoubtedly one of the most difficult phases of his life, which he eventually overcame with his determination and passion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2013, the actor opened up about his production company's failure and shared how he came out of the mess. While speaking to Mail Today, he revealed, "I paid back one and all, including Doordarshan. When they asked for the interest component, I did commercials in lieu for them. I can never forget how creditors used to land at our door, be abusive, threatening and demanding, and worse still, when they came for ‘kudkee’ at Prateeksha, our residence."</p>

<p>"Without a doubt that was one of the darkest moments in my 44-year professional career. It made me sit and think, I looked at the options before me and evaluated different scenarios. The answer came pat - I know how to act. I got up and walked to Yashji (Yash Chopra, filmmaker), who stayed behind my house. I implored him to give me work. That is when the worm turned, he gave me 'Mohabbatein'."</p>

<p>At the end, it was his passion for&nbsp;acting that saved him and helped him change everything.</p>

<p>Speaking about the same at Agenda Aaj Tak, Big B said,&nbsp;"It was a difficult time. ABCL went into debt. I was bankrupt. The people who expressed desire to work with me at the peak of my career came and hurled abuses at me."</p>

<p>Last year, Abhishek Bachchan also opened up about the difficult time.&nbsp;During an interaction with a YouTuber, Jr&nbsp;Bachchan recalled, "I can't be here sitting in Boston when my father doesn't know how he's going to get dinner. And that's how bad it was. And he said it publicly."</p>

<p>"He had to borrow money from his staff to put food on the table. I just felt morally obliged to be with him. I called him and I said ‘You know dad, I think I want to leave college halfway and come back and just be with you, try and help you in whatever way. At least you’ll know that your boy is next to you and he's there for you," the 46-year-old shared.</p>

<p>Big B&nbsp;currently has several films in the pipeline. He was last seen in 'Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva' in a pivotal role and in 'Chup: Revenge of the Artist' as a guest star. His film 'Goodbye' with Rashmika Mandanna is currently running in theatres.&nbsp;</p>

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has composed music for his close friend and filmmaker R Balki's film 'Chup'. As per the latest report, Big B's official composition has been used as the score for the film's credits. In a recent interview with a leading publication, the filmmaker shared that the 79-year-old was very touched and ecstatic when he shared that he wants to use his original composition in the film. Narrating the story to ETimes, Balki said, "It all happened very impromptu. I had asked Amitji to see the movie (Chup). After seeing it, he called me over and he played me a tune on his piano and said that’s what the movie and the characters made him feel." Balki added, "He was very touched. I was ecstatic. I asked him if I could use the tune and he immediately gifted it to the movie. Today Chup is the first film that has got Amitji's official composition as the score for the credits." 'Chup' stars Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salmaan, and Pooja Bhatt in pivotal roles.

<p>An Indian-American family has installed a life-size statue of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan at their home in the Edison City of New Jersey. Some 600 people gathered outside the house of Rinku and Gopi Seth in Edison, often called Little India for being home to a significantly large Indian-American population, when the statue was formally unveiled by eminent community leader Albert Jasani.</p>

<p>The status is placed inside a large glass box. The ceremony was accompanied by bursting of fire-crackers and impromptu dance by a fan club of the Indian superstar. "He is nothing less than a god to me and my wife," Gopi Seth, who is an internet security engineer, told PTI.</p>

<p>"The biggest thing that inspires me about him is not only his reel life but also the real life,&nbsp;how he manages himself in public, how he conveys and communicates, everything you know. He is very down-to-earth. He takes care of his fans. He is not like so many other stars. This is why I thought I should have his status outside of my house," Seth said.</p>

<p>Seth, who arrived in the US from Dahod in eastern Gujarat in 1990, has been running www.BigBEFamily.Com, a website for "Big B Extended Family", for the past three decades. The website, among other things, he said is a repository of the global fans of Amitabh Bachchan. The database is shared with the 79-year-old Bollywood superstar.</p>

<p>According to Seth, Bachchan is aware about the statue. Seth said the superstar told him he does not deserve this kind of treatment, but did not stop him from doing so.</p>

<p>The life-size statue which shows Bachchan seated in his 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' mode was specially designed and made in Rajasthan and then shipped to the United States. The entire project, Seth said, cost him more than USD75,000 (about Rs 60 lakhs).</p>

<p>After his venture, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd (ABCL), failed, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s finances hit all time low when he had racked up a debt record of over 900 crores. He launched his venture in 1999 and soon after, loan sharks and creditors of all kinds started to show up at his doorstep, demanding he returned the money he owed them. The language was ‘abusive and threatening’, revealed Bachchan in an explosive interview back in 2013 with a magazine.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Talking about what must have possibly been the toughest phase of his life, Bachchan shared, “Without a doubt that was one of the darkest moments in my 44-year professional career. It made me sit and think, I looked at the options before me and evaluated different scenarios… I paid back one and all, including Doordarshan. When they asked for the interest component, I did commercials in lieu for them. I can never forget how creditors used to land at our door, be abusive, threatening and demanding, and worse still, when they came for ‘kudkee’ at Prateeksha, our residence (sic).”&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
However, Big B—as he is fondly called in India—bounced back with his much-loved early 2000s cult classic ‘Mohabbatein’ and then the hit television show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. “…The answer came (after introspection) that— I know how to act. I got up and walked to Yashji (Chopra, filmmaker), who stayed behind my house. I implored him to give me work. That is when the worm turned, he gave me ‘Mohabbatein’ (sic).”&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Bachchan is now 78 years of age and continues to be one of the finest actors this country has ever produced. Just last year, he made his digital debut with ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana. His upcoming movies include ‘Chehre’, ‘Jhund’, ‘Brahmastra’, ‘MayDay’ and ‘Goodbye’.</p>

And in order to mourn the loss of his former co-star and legendary actor Dilip Kumar, he took to his blog and penned some beautiful yet heartbreaking words for the late Dilip Kumar. In his blog, he recalled being starstruck by him and the moment he met the actor in person. “The name that had been floating in that vacuum suddenly took shape, right there on the screen in front of me .. large and in black and white .. that name, that visual often repeated in converse .. DILIP KUMAR .. there was something in his presence .. when he appeared all others became a blurred focus .. when he spoke, you felt right, convinced .. and you came back with all of that home .. and it remained with you.”&nbsp;</p>

Bachchan spoke about the time he ran into Dilip Saab at a restaurant and mustered up the courage to go up to him and ask for an autograph. “After long contemplation which drove me to awe and shivering excitement, I decided to approach him for an autograph .. but no autograph book .. so out again in the street, a book bought and inside the restaurant again and the relief to still find him there .. the walk up to him .. he is concentrated conversation .. i push my words to him in general and the book in hand .. there is no reaction .. he did not even look at me or the book .. and after a short while walked away , out through the door and gone .. the autograph book still in my vacant hands .. the autograph book was not important at all .. it was his presence .. that’s it.”</p>
