Angioplasty is a common procedure used to clear blockages in the heart’s arteries, ensuring proper blood flow to the heart. This procedure is often recommended for patients with coronary artery disease.

The actor, who is known for his dedication to his work, has been actively engaged in various projects, including hosting the popular TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati. Fans and well-wishers across the world have sent their prayers and support for the star’s quick recovery.

As of now, Amitabh Bachchan is expected to remain in the hospital for observation for a short period before he is discharged. Fans eagerly await updates on his health, with many expressing their love and best wishes for the actor’s speedy recovery.

Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, 81, has been hospitalised. He has been admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai, News18 reported. It was not immediately known what prompted the veteran actor to get medical help. LiveMint could not independently verify the report.

Bachchan is being “treated for peripheral, and not coronary heart,” the publication added while citing sources. “An angioplasty was performed on a clot in his leg, and not on his heart,” the insider added.

Hours before reports about him getting hospitalised emerged, Big B posted on X (formerly Twitter) in his signature style by mentioning the number of post. In his post n. 4,950, he wrote, “in gratitude ever”.

It’s time you accept this)” while sharing a promotional video of his Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) team, Majhi Mumbai.
