Big B suffers a hairline fracture in his rib

Well! Well! It seems Junior Bachchan has someone to share his pain with…. After Abhishek fractured his fingers, his father Amitabh too suffers a hairline rib fracture while he was shooting for an action scene on the sets of Ram Gopal Varma’s Department. Whether he was hit by the elbow or the butt of the security carrying a carbine in the shot, it could not be found out. However, the mishap internally ruptured the flesh cover over the rib.


The X-Ray and CT scan later revealed that he had a hairline fracture in his rib and as per the doctor, it would heal on its own.
Big B posted on his blog. “There is a fracture in the rib, albeit hairline; it cannot be given any treatment, for such ailments are left to heal on their own…That takes care of the next 3-4 weeks because that is the recognized healing period. Bear the pain and that is it… Damn!”

“The hot water bottle has become my greatest companion for the last two days and, with the results of the CT scan, it looks like I shall stay with it much longer than I had imagined. It’s such a useful element in the house. And from the time I realized the difference between hot and cold, the hot water bottle has never undergone any change in size or shape. It has been like this for donkey’s years. The winter in Allahabad and Delhi are distinct reminders of it,” he added.
