Amitabh Bachchan to undergo surgery today

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan is set to undergo a surgery at the Seven Hills Hospital in Marol today. Here’s wishing him good luck.

“Yes prayers and wishes needed .. hoping then that all will be well .. love,” Amitabh Bachchan wrote on twitter yesterday. He will undergo an operation for abdominal pain.

On his blog, the superstar revealed that the abdominal complication is the legacy of his accident on the sets of Coolie in 1982.

“Let me just say that the issue and the problem is a legacy of the past in particular the accident of 1982 and Coolie. Subsequent disturbances have all and shall emanate from it. So I should learn to bear it now, feel the compulsion of the doctors to perform what they need to and leave myself and my body at their mercy,” the 69-year-old actor wrote.

Amitabh Bachchan suffered a near fatal intestinal injury on July 26, 1982 while filming a fight scene for Coolie with co-star Puneet Issar. He remained in hospital for many months at that time. Bachchan was again admitted to hospital in 2005 and underwent bowel surgery.

A CT scan that was held a few days back has now revealed some new problem, Big B revealed.

“The CT Scan has brought up some new discoveries, other than what I am going in for, and that is depressing, but if we do not have will to fight it out, you may as well, put your hands up and submit. Taking it all one at a time shall hopefully resolve the issues, but waiting is what the doctors advise,” he added.

So far, Amitabh Bachchan has said that the surgery is not a major one and therefore no need to panic. However, his fans have been sending him a lot of good wishes.
