Bollywood’s megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s wife Jaya Bachchan has assured everyone that he is ‘fine’. She said that the ‘heavy costumes of Thugs Of Hindostan’ caused him some pain, reported news agency IANS.
“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,” IANS quoted Jaya Bachchan as saying.
Earlier this morning, Amitabh Bachchan on his blog wrote that he will be getting a team of doctors from Mumbai to ‘fiddle around’ with his body and help ‘set’ him up again. By this, he means that it’s unlikely for him to fly back to Mumbai.
An excerpt from his blog reads, “I am getting my team of doctors in tomorrow morning to fiddle around with my body and set me up again. I will rest and keep informed in the process.” Currently, Big B is in Jodhpur to shoot for his forthcoming film Thugs Of Hindostan.
From his blog, it appears that 75-year-old actor has been working at odd hours and stayed 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,” he wrote on the blog.
Big B’s tweet read, “And just back from work! Bina Mehnat Ke Kuch Nahi Milta (written in Hindi) the city Jodhpur sleeps… and so shall I in a while after connecting with the well-wishers. Love.”
Here’s what Big B posted on Twitter:

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje too, expressed concern about Amitabh Bachchan’s health on Twitter and wished him ‘speedy recovery’.
She said, “Concerned to hear Shri @SrBachchan Ji is unwell. Do let us know if we can be of any assistance. Wish you a speedy recovery!”
