When Amitabh Bachchan was declared clinically dead

Not just this, even former Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi has been his fan and cared for him so much. On his birthday today, we are sharing an incident that happened between him and Indira Gandhi which talks about the bond they had. Amitabh Bachchan was accidentally hit by Puneet Issar during the shooting of an action sequence for his film, Coolie. This was a big story back then in entertainment news.

Big B had lost 40 kgs of weight and he was hospitalised after the accident due to internal bleeding in his lower abdomen. It was a shocking news as the megastar was declared clinically dead but the doctors revived him by giving him an adrenaline injection.

The entire nation was shocked and crying for him. They wanted him to return back soon and fans even wrote letters for him with their blood. Many politicians also prayed for him and Indira Gandhi was also one of them. She got emotional and came to Mumbai to see him.

Amitabh Bachchan's father-in-law, a noted journalist wrote in Weekly of India of how Mrs Gandhi came to see Big B. He wrote that Jaya Bachchan took him and his wife to the ICU to see Amitabh Bachchan and the actor was on the bed with multiple tubes stuck into his body. He looked extremely weak and Jaya Bachchan's mother broke down.

Jaya Bachchan's father further said how Big B whispered to him that he is unable to sleep. His father-in-law motivated him. He added, "Two days later, Mrs Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi also flew in separately. To Mrs Gandhi, Amit again said, 'Aunty, I can't sleep.' Mrs Gandhi broke down and sobbed, 'No, my son. You will sleep. I also don't get sleep sometimes, so what?'"
