Amitabh Bachchan discharged; back home after surgery

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan was discharged late on Thursday evening from the Seven Hills Hospital, Mumbai after a 13-day stay post his abdominal surgery.

Doctors at the Seven Hills, who were treating Amitabh Bachchan said that he was doing fine and would be back on his feet after a few days of rest.

Speaking about his discharge from the hospital, Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog, “Just discharged from hospital and am back home in familiar surroundings, gently taking in all that now engulfs me. The surgery discomfort and soreness persists, but will take a while to finally erase itself from the pain glands, but in all, apart from a sluggish movement, Gods grace and prayers of the Ef have put me back on track again. My most gracious thanks to all."

As soon as Amitabh Bachchan was discharged from the hospital, he first went to Prateeksha and performed a small prayer at the hospital before moving on to Jalsa where the family resides.

Abhishek Bachchan had driven down from Wai where he has been shooting for Bol Bachchan to welcome his dad back. The actor is expected to drive back today to join the rest of the Bol Bachchan crew.
