Amitabh Bachchan faces hand discomfort while writing fan letters and shares Diwali wishes

Amitabh Bachchan shared a new post on his Tumblr account to extend Diwali greetings while providing an update on his health. The actor mentioned he is experiencing discomfort in his hand while writing replies to fans who sent gifts. He apologised for the delay in responding and noted he is running out of space to store the abundant gifts he received. Last month, the 84-year-old actor was advised to rest and recover after taking a break from regular social media updates. His recent message follows a similar update during Dussehra when he stated he received strict instructions to focus on recovery and limit communication. Apart from his health updates, recent reports indicate that suspects in a police investigation regarding a firing incident near Tiger Shroff's car had previously surveyed the residences of prominent actors, including Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan, before dropping the idea due to security arrangements. Additionally, security agencies investigated a hoax bomb threat email on Friday that targeted his bungalow alongside the Bombay High Court and Mumbai's Mahalaxmi Racecourse.

Work Front

On the professional front, the veteran actor remains active in both film and television. He continues to host the long-running quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. He is also set to star in the upcoming sequel to the science-fiction film Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin, which also features Prabhas and Kamal Haasan.

Context

Public figures often maintain direct communication channels with fans through personal blogs and social media platforms to acknowledge affection and festive greetings. Such updates frequently balance personal milestones and health disclosures with ongoing professional commitments in the entertainment industry.
