Candid Amitabh Bachchan gets nostalgic

During a recent interview, Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan got nostalgic about the support he got from his fans more than two decades ago when he survived a life threatening accident on the sets of Manmohan Desais Coolie. Amazingly, Big B candidly spoke about the most important person in his life; this person who stood by him all the time, through his thicks and thins, is none other than his lovely wife - Jaya Bachchan. A little flashback - while filming Coolie in 1982 Amitabh seriously injured his intestines during a fight scene with co-actor Puneet Issar. He was taken to the hospital and was operated upon. He remained critically ill for many months. The accident received wide coverage and a Bachchan hysteria gripped the country. Hordes of fans thronged temples, praying for his well-being.
