Attend a 'ghar ka' awards show or stay by the ailing 'chote bhaiyya' Amar Singh's side?
The sudden deterioration in Amar Singh's health has put a cloud over the Bachchans' presence at an upcoming film awards event.
It's an emergency
The ailing politician was flown to Singapore late last night for an emergency operation. What started as an intestinal disorder could now claim his kidneys. It is learnt that the Samajwadi leader will undergo a kidney transplant in Singapore.
He was rushed to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri in a serious condition at around 2 pm yesterday.
The entire Bachchanu00a0 family Amitabh, Jaya, Abhishek and Aishwarya, accompanied the ailing politician to the hospital.
Health disaster
Amar Singh's condition took a turn for the worse in the last few days. Apparently 70 per cent of his large intenstine has been damaged leading tou00a0 kidney failure. About 60 per cent of his kidneys have already stopped functioning.
Says a source, "The Ambani hospital was a beehive of activity yesterday. Several Bollywood stars and politicians visited the hospital. Amar Singh's favourite star-campaigner, Sanjay Dutt, flew down last night from Goa, where he was shooting for All The Best."
'Star' attraction
It's common knowledge that every member of the Bachchan parivar dotes on him. And no glamour event in Bollywood is complete without Amar Singh accompany- ing the Bachchans.
