He said that Bachchan had come to the hospital complaining of "pain in the abdomen". Bachchan was examined and he underwent tests and it was found that surgical interventions will relieve him of his problems and the actor agreed.
He, however, refused to give details about the megastar's medical condition, just saying he was stable.
