Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan underwent an angioplasty at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai on Friday morning, March 15. The megastar of the Hindi film industry was admitted to the hospital under tight security conditions, according to reports.
Contrary to earlier speculations, the surgery was performed on a peripheral artery, not on the coronary artery. The angioplasty was not conducted on his heart but on a clot in his leg.
Taking to social media later in the afternoon, Bachchan expressed his gratitude with a brief message. He tweeted, “T 4950 – in gratitude ever.”
Details about Bachchan’s health condition following the angioplasty are still awaited. The 81-year-old actor underwent the procedure at Kokilaben Hospital, one of Mumbai’s premier medical facilities, known for its state-of-the-art treatment and care.
