On July 21, 2026, Mumbai-based megastar Amitabh Bachchan shared his thoughts on hospitalisation, surgery, and recovery, sparking curiosity among his fans. In a personal blog post, the 83-year-old actor discussed the difficulties of recuperation after discharge, stating that the journey home can be tougher than the treatment itself. Bachchan wrote about the psychological and physical impact of such experiences, though it remains unclear if he was referencing his own health struggles or making a general observation.
Bachchan’s blog post highlighted the challenges of recovery, saying, "this homecoming period is the most difficult phase .. physically, psychologically and practically". He also shared his thoughts on perseverance and acceptance, adding, "some brave it .. some succumb .. they that strive and be brave ever remain Champions". Following his blog post, Bachchan shared a cryptic message on X, saying, "T 5806 – The game has ended! But the work is still going on".
Amitabh Bachchan has been open about his health issues in the past, including a near-fatal accident on the sets of Coolie in 1982, which left him with only 25 per cent of his liver functioning. Despite these setbacks, Bachchan continues to be professionally active, with recent projects like ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ and the upcoming season of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’.
