Conflicting unconfirmed reports have emerged about Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan's health, with one section of the media stating he has been admitted in Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital following a liver problem, while another debunking the news as fake. A timesofindia.com report stated the 77-year-old actor has been in hospital since October 15 after he was rushed to Nanavati at 2 am on that day.

The report added that the veteran actor is receiving medical attention for his liver problem, and that at the hospital, Big B has been put up in a special cabin over the past three days, with only close relatives being allowed to visit. Soon after the timesofindia.com news, and an Amar Ujala report declared all such information pertaining to the megastar's health was wrong.
