Discharged Amitabh Hits Out At Media

Amitabh Bachchan is finally home after being discharged from Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital yesterday. As soon as he was in the comfort of his own home he got time to update his blog and write about his experiences.

Big B was really overwhelmed by the concern and well wishes of his fans as he wrote, “Your love overwhelms me. Your concern for my well being humbles me. I owe so much to you.”
“My sincerest thanks to all who gave me strength to fight another medical battle. The fans and well wishers. The media friends who wrote in on my mobile. Friends who visited me at the hospital and those that wrote in. Strangers who I never met or know.” He really lashed out at the media on his blog on how the literally harrassed him the night he was being taken to the hospital.

“There is a muted silence outside…No one says a word, except the media. They clamour and scream for that exclusive shot, invading the sanctity of the ambulance. They would never understand the sensitivity of the situation,” he wrote. He added: “Media is an added hindrance to a smooth, quick emergent ride to Nanavati. If they had their way they would ideally want to be seated on the stretcher with me and have me answering questions - ‘What would be the celebrations for the birthday sir and will you be inviting Shah Rukh’. Insensitive. Callous.”

Talking about his plans now, he said he plans to rest and recuperate and give company to women at home who would be celebrating Karva Chauth.
