Amitabh Bachchan has quashed rumors surrounding his health, labeling them as 'fake news' in response to widespread speculation about his hospitalization. Earlier in the day, social media platforms were abuzz with concerned fans seeking updates on Bachchan's well-being, following reports suggesting he had undergone an angioplasty procedure due to either a leg clot or a blocked artery.

Later in the evening, Amitabh Bachchan was accompanied by his son Abhishek, at the Dadoji Kondadev Stadium in Thane, attending the final match of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) between Majhi Mumbai and Tiigers of Kolkata. This public appearance came just hours after reports of his hospital visit had circulated.

A circulating video captured Bachchan exiting the stadium, where a concerned individual from the crowd inquired about his health. Initially gesturing that everything was fine, Bachchan then verbally dismissed the concerns, stating, "Fake news."

The reports regarding Bachchan's hospitalization varied, with some claiming it was for a routine check-up at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, while others suggested he underwent angioplasty to address either a leg blockage or a blocked artery. Despite the widespread speculation, neither the hospital nor Bachchan's office provided confirmation for much of the day.

The absence of official confirmation did not deter social media users, as hashtags like #AmitabhBachchan and #KokilabenHospital trended prominently. Several individuals, including Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam, expressed their well-wishes for Bachchan's speedy recovery.

Amitabh Bachchan, known for his illustrious career in Indian cinema, was last seen in a cameo role in Tiger Shroff's "Ganapath." His upcoming projects include "Kalki AD 2898," featuring Deepika Padukone and Prabhas, as well as a Tamil film titled "Vettaiyan," where he will share the screen with Rajinikanth.
