Update: "Get well soon" wishes for Amitabh Bachchan flooded social media soon after reports stated that he was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on Friday. However the Bollywood star, 75, left the facility a few hours after a routine check-up.
"Mr Bachchan came for a routine check-up and went home," Ravishankar, CEO of the Lilavati Hospital here, told IANS.
