Recently, cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar also took to X to applaud Sooryavanshi’s batting prowess. He wrote, “Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s bat swing has been outstanding. What’s even more remarkable is how beautifully he clears his front foot to create room for balls aimed at his legs. This freedom allows him to play the way he does.

However, the rumours were false. Fans flooded social media with woshes for actor’s recovery. Amid this, a report in PTI claimed that Bachchan visited Nanavati Hospital for his routine check up and returned home shortly afterwards.“He went in for a routine health check-up and came back home. He usually goes every month for a check-up,” PTI quoted its source as saying.The same day, Amitabh took to his blog to share a cryptic note. In the blog, he shared a poem in Hindi whose translated version read as… “When the eagle becomes quiet, parrots begin to speak. This one and that one say, ‘Come, let us also start offering advice/drinks.’ After eating millet bread and greens, they begin talking like crows the moment food enters their mouths. One remained a reflection of brother Hill’s education; the other, a memory of Wellington.”
