Amitabh Bachchan To Maintain Distance From Work For Some Time?

Even at the age of 75, Amitabh Bachchan is one of the busiest actors in Bollywood. The megastar has been shooting for one film after another for a couple of years now, and that seems to have taken a toll on his health. According to reports, Amitabh Bachchan has not been keeping well for some time now and doctors have advised his complete bed rest.

Initially, Senior Bachchan did not pay much heed to his doctors’ advice and kept shooting for films in extreme weather conditions. But it seems like that his body cannot take it any longer. His decision to skip the National Awards function in New Delhi on Tuesday, where he was to receive the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke award by the Government of India, has again raised concerns over his health among his fans and well-wishers across the globe.

According to a report published in a popular publication, Amitabh Bachchan is down with fever and cold. Doctors have, reportedly, advised the family to not allow him to travel unless necessary. A concerned close family friend told the publication that Amitabh Bachchan was very keen to be in New Delhi for this very special occasion, but he has caught a chill, thanks to days of shooting in minus-zero temperature in Slovakia for a film (Chehre). He went on to add that directors need to understand the fragility of his health and stop putting him through such gruelling climatic conditions as his body cannot take it any longer.

On Tuesday, Amitabh Bachchan took to his Twitter handle and updated his fans and well-wishers with his health. He thanked everyone for their get well soon wishes and said that he will improve gradually.
