Amitabh Bachchan Injured: Flashback when Bollywood almost lost Big B in a near-death experience

Shahenshah of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan was recently injured while filming for his next film, ‘Project K’, in Hyderabad. The actor was hurt while filming a high-octane action sequence. Big B stated that he had rib cartilage damage and a tear in his right rib cage. He also revealed that he had to have a CT scan at Hyderabad’s AIG Hospital.

Well, this is not the first time Big B has suffered a near-fatal injury while filming. 

Amitabh Bachchan’s spleen was ruptured after his on-set accident in 1982, and was rushed to a Bangalore hospital. The actor was then taken to a hospital in Mumbai, where he eventually made a full recovery.

Big B was also bleeding in his lower abdominal. For a few minutes, he was declared clinically dead before doctors injected adrenaline into his heart in a last attempt to revive him and the actor was given a second life. Even though the whole nation prayed for him, he underwent several surgeries and remained critically ill in hospital for several months. The actor returned home after a long and onerous recovery. While Bachchan’s birthday is on October 11, his fans consider August 2 to be his second birthday.

In a blog, the superstar revealed that he had gone into a coma-like situation. He wrote,“I went into almost a haze and a coma-like situation. Within five days of coming into Breach Candy, I had another surgery and didn’t come out of that one for a very, very long time and I was clinically dead for a couple of minutes. Then Dr Wadia, who looked after me and is an absolute life-saver, just said “I’m going to take a last chance” and he started pumping cortisone/ adrenaline injections into me one after another almost, 40 ampules of it, with the hope that something would happen and then I got revived.”
