Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who was discharged Friday from the Lilavati Hospital, is back to his blogging ways. The actor has thanked his fans for their good wishes but has hit out at the media for being "insensitive" while reporting on his illness.
"My sincerest thanks to all who gave me strength to fight another medical battle. The fans and well wishers. The media friends who wrote in on my mobile. Friends who visited me at the hospital and those that wrote in. Strangers who I never met or know," Amitabh wrote on his blog soon after his discharge, "Your love overwhelms me. Your concern for my well being humbles me. I owe so much to you.”
But while the actor thanked one lot of the public, he also slammed the media on the other hand. He expressed his displeasure at being chased when he was taken to hospital in an ambulance.
"There is a muted silence outside…No one says a word, except the media. They clamour and scream for that exclusive shot, invading the sanctity of the ambulance. They would never understand the sensitivity of the situation," he wrote.
"Media is an added hindrance to a smooth, quick emergent ride to Nanavati. If they had their way they would ideally want to be seated on the stretcher with me and have me answering questions - ’What would be the celebrations for the birthday sir and will you be inviting Shah Rukh’. Insensitive. Callous,” he expressed his feelings.
Diagnosed with incisional hernia, the Big B had been in hospital for a week. He went back home in his own car and was accompanied by son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai.
The star said he had plans of "rest and recuperation" at his Jalsa home apart from giving company to the women in his house for a quick glance of the moon from the roof to break their fast on "Karva Chauth", which he termed a "torturous practice".
