Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is said to be going through a mild body ailment, that did not allow him to attend the Zee Cine Awards on Saturday. But the 73-year old legend has also said he’s recovering.

“I am in recovery .. though with slow process ! Those that present themselves on this family of Ef, throw intermittent concern on my condition. To them I say, I am well and do not have grave conditions in your mind” Bachchan wrote on Sunday.

The actor was on a  strong pain killer, just so that he could travel to Chennai “to pay respect to a late friend’s death anniversary”.

“The ceremony was quiet, elegant, filled with the softness of remembrance and poignancy…I spoke… it was appreciated.” he added.

Bachchan also had a more detailed health update on his blog.

He wrote “It is not alarming… but it is… and it puts me horizontal, with minimum movement… and grief… grief for regretting my appearance (sic) at the Zee Awards where I was to present the lifetime award to Veeru Devgn, the master action director, producer and father to our Ajay Devgn”

“When the body is troubled, so is the mind, so is the soul and so the desire to write to communicate with the loved ones, the Ef… It has been so for many days now and I do feel a disconnect each day, but it shall repair soon I hope and we shall be back to winning ways as they say.”

“A remarkable life story for Veeru ji… from being another stuntman to where he ended and the numerous highlights that his career exhibited…”

“Veeru-ji matured soon enough from this scenario to an action director then he became a producer and eventually directed a film which I worked in too… but my association with him was through those millions of film moments, which I worked with him in all and most of my action sequences.”

“He was a care concerned director of stunts… he never put his artists in any kind of trouble or strain and was very good in its execution.”
