Amitabh skips meeting with fans

Waving out to a crowd of fans that gather to greet him at his residence is a Sunday routine that Amitabh Bachchan has been following for years. This time, the star had to miss it due to ill health.

“Apologies... You all came to Jalsa [Bachchan’s house], and I could not meet you... Unwell. Will make up soon. Love you all,” Bachchan posted late on April 9 on Twitter.

The 74-year-old actor also updated his blog, saying: “The prayers seem to have miraculously worked from all the [extended family].

“I recover well and feel much better,” added the actor, who had last week missed a book launch because of high fever.
