Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan addresses fans’ concerns about his health, saying discomfort in his hand is delaying his ability to respond personally. In Diwali greetings and related posts, he thanks well-wishers for messages and gifts and apologises for not writing letters as quickly as he would like.
Several outlets link his condition to reduced or paused public and work commitments. India Today and multiple reports say his KBC 18 hosting presence has been affected, while Times of India adds that filming is expected to resume after his recovery. Free Press Journal and NDTV also report his prior advice to rest and recover, and note that fans are watching closely for updates.
Coverage also includes his ongoing practice of meeting fans outside his Mumbai home, Jalsa, during Diwali. Free Press Journal describes him greeting the crowd without a bulletproof glass enclosure that had reportedly been installed after bomb threats, and addresses the gathering with a microphone, while his son Abhishek Bachchan is also present. Across outlets, the central points are his gratitude to fans, his apology for delays, and his cited hand discomfort.
