A source from Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai reveals that the actor was hospitalised on Tuesday for a health-related issue.

“Amitabh Bachchan was admitted on Tuesday around 2 am concerning a health issue and had undergone a complete health check-up. He was advised to take some rest so he stayed back for a few days. Unfortunately, I can’t reveal much about it as we have to respect his privacy,” the source says.

Quashing all rumours about Bachchan undergoing liver treatment, the source adds, “It is not true at all. He is still in the hospital and doing fine. We don’t know when he will be discharged from the hospital.”
