Reports about Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan being hospitalised recently created concern among fans after rumours began circulating widely on social media.

The rumours gained traction after journalist Vickey Lalwani reportedly shared information about the actor’s alleged hospital visit online. Soon after, worried fans flooded social media platforms with messages praying for the 83-year-old actor’s recovery. Amid the growing speculation, Amitabh himself did not directly deny the claims initially, but his latest social media activity appeared to address the situation indirectly.
Taking to his personal blog, Amitabh shared a cryptic Hindi message that immediately caught the internet’s attention. His note read, “Cheel jab howe shant to bhaiya, tote bolan suru karen,” loosely translating to, “When the eagle falls silent, the parrots begin to chatter.” Many social media users interpreted the statement as the actor’s subtle response to the ongoing rumours and online gossip surrounding his health.
The actor concluded the post with the words “Love, Prayers and more,” further reassuring fans that he was in good spirits. Soon after the blog went viral, fans began expressing relief online, with many calling Amitabh’s response classy and poetic. Several users also criticised the spread of unverified health rumours involving celebrities, especially senior actors.

This is not the first time Amitabh Bachchan has had to respond to false reports regarding his health. In the past too, the actor has dismissed similar rumours as “fake news” while assuring admirers that he was fine. Despite recurring speculation, the veteran star continues to remain active professionally and regularly connects with fans through his blogs and social media posts.
