A multitude of fans had assembled outside Mumbai’s Nanavati Hospital expecting the discharge of Amitabh Bachchan, who, after being hospitalised for cough and cold, was finally discharged at 9.45 pm on Friday night. In addition, there was a host of paparazzi present there, desperate to get visuals of Bachchan coming out in his Range Rover.
“Abhishek Bachchan was seated next to the driver while Jaya ji was in the rear seat with Amit ji. That’s when a photographer as well as a videographer, in their zeal to get some good frontal visuals of them, came right in front of the moving vehicle and were almost knocked down. Had it not been for Abhishek, who yelled loudly and had the driver slow down, one of the two would have certainly met with an accident. That was the last thing that the Bachchans would have wanted,” says an eye witness.
Bachchan in his blog pleaded the media and fans to stop speculating about his health. “Do NOT break the CODE of professional documentation.. ailments and medical conditions are a confidential individual right.. its exploitation, and its attempted commerce are a social illegality.. respect and give required understanding to this.. all is not in the world of sale ..” he wrote.
