Abhishek Bachchan resumes work in Chennai right after undergoing surgery
Abhishek Bachchan has resumed work in Chennai after undergoing a surgery for a "freak accident" he had suffered on the sets "last Wednesday." The mishap had fractured his right hand and he needed to go through an operation for which he had flown down to Mumbai. The surgery took place at Lilavati Hospital and now it's "all patched-up and casted," said Bachchan.
"As they say...The show must go on! And as my father said....Mard ko dard nahin hota! ...Ok, ok, ok it hurt a little," funnily added the Bluffmaster! actor. Rumors of his ill health started when photos surfaced on social media showing his father Amitabh Bachchan, and sister Shweta Bachchan-Nanda making rounds to the hospital. It's unclear which film he was shooting for in Chennai.
Apart from Big B and his daughter, some photos also showed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her daughter dashing back from Madhya Pradesh, where she was filming Ponniyin Selvan, a Mani Ratnam film. In the Instagram post, we see the Dhoom actor, donning a sky blue hoodied T-shirt, jeans, white sneakers and sleek glasses, showing a thumbs up with his bandaged right hand.
Meanwhile, as soon as this news broke, Bachchan's close friends like Bobby Deol, Sikandar Kher, Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra, Zoya Akhtar and Anand Ahuja wished him luck and health. Director Sanjay Gupta, who has collaborated with the Bachchans many times, went the witty way and said, "One hand totally out of action but my dear buddy Abhishek Bachchan still wears the most complicated Keds."
