What had happened years ago has returned in new face… In 1982 Amitabh Bachchan had suffered a fatal blow during the shooting of his film ‘Coolie’. After a close brush with death, the actor had been saved after several months of recuperating. At that time Bachchan had underwent blood transfusion which gave rise to fresh problems. Due to the accident, the 67-yr old actor is diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and 25 percent of his liver has been destroyed.

Revealing about it on his blog, Big B wrote that the damage to the liver was discovered eight years ago. Since the liver and any ailment associated with it is extremely sensitive, he has to be under constant vigil and monitoring.

He further said that disclosing such issues would surely send alarm among his fans however he doesn’t want to hide anything and wants to keep things open related to his health matters. “It has been something that has remained with me for years and years and years. From being horned by a bull in the head when I was perhaps 2 years old to my more recent escapades, it is a saga that never seems to end, for, what is more in store for me I cannot comprehend,” quoted the veteran star.
