Amitabh Bachchan who was unwell and bed-ridden a few days back penned a blog and addressed the issue of how false rumours about his health spread from the so-called 'sources'. He wrote, "There has been confession publicly by me on the promotion of the disease Hepatitis B .. its presence in my body since the infusion of blood from donor carrying the virus .. and that 75% of my Liver has been destroyed .. SO .. innovation .. assumption .. .. and ‘rumoured’ ‘sources’ ‘ it has been informed from reliable medical professionals’ builds the column, that shall consume pages and time lapses between the latest Political jumble or Ludo, to ‘confirm’ that the reason for the hospitalisation - be Liver !!" and cleared the air by saying, ".. when indeed is it nothing of the sort whatsoever ..".

On the professional front: 

The actor has a plethora of projects lined up ahead of him. However, his two main projects- Chehre alongside Emraan Hashmi and Jhund opposite Akash Thosar has been wrapped into a controversy. While the makers of the former have asked the female lead of the film, Kriti Kharbanda to exit due to her 'tantrums', the second is embroiled in a legal power tussle, wherein a filmmaker has sent a legal notice both to Big-B, and the director of Jhund. Apart from these two, the actor will also be seen in Brahmastra alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy among others. It is one of the most-anticipated films of the year and is being directed by Ayan Mukerji.
