Amitabh Bachchan critically ill! WhatsApp messages about Big B’s health go viral

A message is doing the rounds on popular messaging application WhatsApp claiming that Amitabh Bachchan is critically ill.

Recently, rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh and actors Dilip Kumar and Shakti Kapoor had become victims of a death hoax. Earlier, actor Amitabh Bachchan had been victim to a death hoax news too, so were other Bollywood celebs including superstar Salman Khan and legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar. Now a message is doing the rounds on popular messaging application WhatsApp claiming that Amitabh Bachchan is critically ill. Yes, you heard that right! The report that the megastar is hospitalised spread like wildfire on the social platform.

The WhatsApp post claims that Amitabh Bachchan is extremely sick and he has been admitted to Mumbai’s Kokilaben Ambani Hospital. “Amitabh Bachchan is critical, admitted in ICU at Kokilaben Ambani hospital,” the WhatsApp post reads. With the post, two pictures are also being shared on social media. In one of the pictures the legendary actor is lying on a bed and looks unwell, while in the other image his actor son Abhishek Bachchan is seen taking his father to hospital.

With the images and the message going viral on social networking sites and community chats, Amitabh Bachchan’s fans are in a frenzy. But there is no need to worry! Amitabh Bachchan is very much hale and hearty, and busy with his projects. Senior Bachchan is currently shooting for his film Wazir. He recently asked people to provide help to the victims of the earthquake in Nepal in his tweet. (Also read: Yo Yo Honey Singh: Dead or alive?)
