What Sparked the Confusion
Bachchan’s original post described a hospital stay, surgery, and time in the ICU, followed by a difficult homecoming period — “physically, psychologically and practically.” Naturally, fans assumed the worst about his health. But the actor has now confirmed he never underwent any medical procedure at all.
Instead, he revealed the post was a metaphor for Argentina’s defeat to Spain in the FIFA World Cup final and what Lionel Messi might be going through in its aftermath.
Amitabh Bachchan: Straight From Big B Himself
Speaking to Variety India, Bachchan clarified: “I am fine. I did not undergo surgery. It is a misunderstood post.” He explained that he was drawing a parallel between post-surgery recovery and the emotional aftermath of a champion’s loss — not describing his own experience.
“I was referring to Argentina’s loss and Messi as a champion that lost. People have assumed it’s a reference to me,” he added.
