Click to play videoNew Delhi: Actor Amitabh Bachchan was taken to Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital on Saturday afternoon following complaints of stomach pain.
The actor was celebrating his 66th birthday at his residence Pratiksha when he suddenly experienced severe pain, a family source said.
He was rushed to Nanavati Hospital - barely a kilometre away from his residence - in an ambulance and was kept under observation.
Less than an hour later, he was referred to Lilavati Hospital, located five km from there. He will stay in Lilavati for few days, sources say.
What's wrong?
Bachchan was brought to Nanavati hospital in an ambulance and there were conflicting reports on just how ill the actor was.
When contacted, Radiology Department of Nanavati Hospital said X-ray of his stomach and chest were taken and the actor left the hospital at around 1240 hrs (IST).
However, his office maintained it was a “regular check-up”.
Bachchan had no shoots lined up for Saturday.
A large number of fans and media persons had gathered outside the superstar's house 'Jalsa' and also outside Nanavati hospital.
The Bachchans are regular at the Lilavati Hospital. Many Bollywood stars undergo treatment there and last month Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama was also admitted there.
Amitabh's daughter Shweta, son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya accompanied him to the hospital, while Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh who was to take part in the birthday celebrations later visited him at the hospital.
The actor, who is shooting for Teen Patti in the city, took a day off to celebrate his birthday with his family and grand children who have come from Delhi.
