Mumbai: Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan was on Saturday admitted to the Lilavati hospital here after he complained of abdominal pain due to suspected incisional hernia, giving anxious moments to millions of fans on his 66th birthday.

“There is no cause for worry. We are giving him the best possible treatment. He will soon be up and about and go back to work,” hospital spokesman Mohanranjan said, adding Mr. Bachchan had undergone tests and his condition was “stable.”

He underwent blood investigation and CT scan of the abdomen, a bulletin read by Mr. Mohanranjan said. Mr. Bachchan is in suite 1101 on the 11th floor with wife Jaya Bachchan, son Abhishekh, daughter-in-law Aishwarya and other relatives by his side. Mr. Bachchan was admitted to the hospital “with a history of abdominal pain which has been relieved by medicines,” the bulletin said.

The cause of pain was being investigated by a team of doctors and the report would be available on Sunday morning based on which further treatment would be decided, it said.

“We respect the patient’s rights and confidentiality and hence would not like to discuss this matter further,” the bulletin added. — PTI
