“In this hour of trial for him,I needed to be there,but the doctors advised a few days of rest and observation for me,” he said.
“I understand their concern. It would not be appropriate to find myself in trouble in an alien land,even though I am certain the medical facilities there shall be more than adequate. But to be in the vicinity of home and with people who know my intricate system is not to be ignored,” the actor wrote.
Bachchan,who was shooting in London for “Pa” returned home two days ago,suffering a stomach pain similar to the one he experienced on his last birthday,when he had to be hospitalised for a week.
