Mumbai /Varanasi: Fans and well-wishers of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan thronged the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday night after the actor was admitted there due to stomach pain.

Amitabh Bachchan’s son Abhishek Bachchan says that doctors have diagnosed the condition and he was suffering from an intestinal obstruction.

"He has an intestinal obstruction. He is responding well to the medication. The doctors have requested for 48 to 72 hours of observation. So, we will keep him in hospital for 48 to 72 hours," he added.

Meanwhile, fans in Varanasi organised fire rituals to pray for the speedy recovery of him.

"We organised a fire ritual for long life of our beloved actor. We want him to get well soon and live many more years," said a fan Anand Mishra.

Big B was taken to the Nanavati Hospital on Saturday afternoon on his 66th birthday. Later, he was referred to Lilavati Hospital.

Even earlier in November 2005, the superstar was operated on at Leelavati Hospital after he developed intestinal problems.
