Amitabh Bachchan hospitalized for routine checkup: Details here

Iconic actor Amitabh Bachchan has been admitted to Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital for routine check-up, PTI reported on Friday. The 77-year-old megastar was reportedly hospitalized earlier this week on Tuesday. He is currently under observation, and likely to be discharged soon. Several media reports suggested that Bachchan was taken to the hospital due to liver issues. Here are more details.

History
1982: 75% of Bachchan's liver was damaged post 'Coolie' accident

For the uninitiated, Bachchan had contracted Hepatitis B infection from a blood donor back in 1982. He was undergoing treatment after he suffered a near-fatal injury from an accident during the shooting of his film Coolie. Subsequently, 75% of his liver was damaged, reducing its functioning to just 25%. Bachchan revealed these facts in an awareness video by UNICEF.

Details
Meanwhile, on Thursday, Bachchan posted two tweets for wife Jaya

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Bachchan posted two tweets for wife Jaya, on the occasion of Karwa Chauth. In his first post, while sharing an old image of Jaya, he wrote, "The better half... !! Quite obviously the other half is irrelevant and therefore unseen." Jaya celebrated Karwa Chauth with daughter-in-law Aishwarya, daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda and actor Sonali Bendre.
