Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan who fell ill while shooting for Vijay Krishna Acharya’s 19th century costume drama Thugs of Hindostan in Jodhpur, took to Twitter Wednesday early morning to tweet about his health condition.
He posted a poetic tweet to say that he fell sick and subsequently a team of doctors visited him to treat the illness. Treatment is underway and he is on the road to recovery.
He tweeted:
“T 2742 - कुछ कष्ट बढ़ा चिकिस्तक को चिकिस्ता के लिए बुलाना पड़ा ;इलाज प्रबल , स्वस्थ हुए नवल ,चलो इसी बहाने , अपनों का पता तो चला ab (sic).”
T 2742 -
कुछ कष्ट बढ़ा
चिकिस्तक को चिकिस्ता के लिए बुलाना पड़ा ;
इलाज प्रबल ,
स्वस्थ हुए नवल ,
चलो इसी बहाने , अपनों का पता तो चला ~ ab— Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) 13 March 2018
The legendary actor was in pain due to the heavy costumes for the shoot of Thugs of Hindostan.
In an early morning blog post on Tuesday, Amitabh, 75, revealed doctors would be coming in to "fiddle around" with his body and set him up again.
His wife Jaya Bachchan told the media at Parliament House in Delhi: "Amitji is fine. He has pain in the back and neck... The costumes are very heavy, so there's some pain. Otherwise he is fine."
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje extended her best wishes for his quick recovery.
Big B has been shooting in the picturesque Mehrangarh Fort for the film which also features Aamir Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif, and will release during Diwali 2018.
The senior actor has been shooting at odd hours and staying up late for shoots.
"It's been rough. But whenever did any be achieved without it. There is struggle and disappointment and pain and sweat and tears. Then the expectation of all working out. Sometimes it does, most of the times not. That not is the catalyst.
"When they say not, it is the right impetus to say and deliver that it has been successful and achieved," he wrote on the blog.
The cine icon had revealed last year that he had been nursing a "stiff neck and shoulder pain" as a result of past injuries from stunts he did in the 1970s and 1980s.
