Amitabh Bachchan is relieved to be back home after a 12-day stay on the SevenHills Hospital here. However, the megastar says he had a difficult time reaching his home way to “insensitive” paparazzi.
“The paparazzi, though avoided the premises of the hospital, were there on the entrance and within the journey home, blocking the movement of the automobile by standing in front and on top of the vehicle, which was disturbing. I'VE yet to peer them understand the sensitivity of a situation akin to this,” the 69-year-old posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com.
Amitabh was operated upon Feb 11 for abdominal issues, and was under observation on the seven-star medical facility ever since. He was discharged Thursday evening, and a number of other still and video cameramen crowded around his car for footage. This disturbed the veteran star.
“A patient just released from hospital must come back to his home and secure from the travel, to it, once possible, but I SUPPOSE they (media) would rather get their exclusive photograph than have such consideration. A NICE request falls on dumb ears and anything stronger than that will be legitimate invitation to their wrath, of being manhandled,” added the actor, who feels his reaction to the media’s behaviour could spiral into another controversy.
“A complicated procedure would then follow leading to nothing, but a severe negativeness against the celebrity, and more. One has learnt over time that any considered controlling them is futile. Better then to tolerate this excessive intrusiveness and move on,” he wrote.
Amitabh also posted an image of the scenario outside the hospital, and wrote: “Just an example of ways media and paparazzi block my car, not allowing it to move, insensitive to the desire of its just released ailing occupant to get home secure and as rapidly as possible.”
For now, he's thankful for all prayers for his speedy recovery.
“The surgery discomfort and soreness persists, but will take some time to finally erase itself from the pain glands, but in all, except for a sluggish movement, god’s grace and prayers of the EF (clan) have put me back not off course again. My most gracious way to all,” he wrote. – IANS
