A mis-timed jump was the cause of the injury. He was transferred to a Mumbai hospital, where he went into a ‘haze and coma-like situation’. He was ‘clinically dead’ for a couple of minutes, the actor claims.

Bachchan received 60 bottles of blood from 200 donors, one of whom was carrying the Hepatitis B virus.
