Overview
- Reports that spread Tuesday night claimed the actor had been admitted since May 16, but by early Wednesday several outlets said he was at home and doing well.
- Sources cited by ETimes, NDTV and PTI said he visited Nanavati Hospital for a routine monthly check-up and left the same day.
- Photos and witness accounts showed him greeting fans at his weekly Sunday Darshan in Juhu, which undercut claims of a three-day hospital stay.
- After the rumours circulated, Bachchan posted a brief poem on his blog that ended with "Love, Prayers and more," which many readers read as reassurance.
- Public concern was heightened by his long-term abdominal issues from a 1982 on-set injury, and his regular check-ups and active schedule keep attention on any health reports.
