On Sunday, Amitabh Bachchan cancelled his ritual of meeting fans outside his home. The 76-year-old actor, who sees his admirers every Sunday at his house Jalsa in Juhu since past 36 years, said he might be in pain but fans need not worry. "Not doing the Sunday darshan today... in bed... pain... inform all (sic)," Big B wrote on his blog. He added that there's "not much to worry" but he's "unable" to leave the house because of the discomfort.

Recently, his Amitabh personal blog completed 11 years. He had began writing on his blog in April 2008. He uses the platform to share anecdotes about his health, personal life and details about his upcoming films and shows. He also wishes his fans, whom he fondly calls his extended family (Ef), on their birthdays.
