In

This
Wasn't
The
First
Time
Big
B
Had
Suffered
A
Hand
Injury
Prior
to
the
Diwali
accident,
the
megastar
had
lacerated
his
hand
to
bits
due
to
friction,
while
sliding
down
a
rope,
on
the
sets
of
Mahaan.
Reportedly,
he
was
"drugged,
treated,
stitched
up
and
bandaged"
before
he
attended
to
Rishi
Kapoor
and
Neetu
Kapoor's
wedding
reception
with
a
heavily
bandaged
hand.
His
Close
Brush
With
Death
The
superstar
met
with
a
near-fatal
accident
while
shooting
an
action
sequence
with
Puneet
Issar,
on
the
sets
of
Coolie
in
1982.
The
incident
landed
him
in
the
hospital
battling
for
his
life.
After
undergoing
multiple
surgeries,
Big
B
was
declared
clinically
dead
for
a
few
minutes
before
being
put
on
the
ventilator.
Finally,
on
August
2,
he
moved
a
muscle,
and
the
entire
nation
took
a
sigh
of
relief.
