  • Take A Look At 'Big B And The Bachchan Bunch'

Following his 'ThrowbackThursday' ritual, Abhishek Bachchan took to social media to share an emotional picture of the 'Bachchan bunch' with Big B from the mid-80s.

 

It is a black and white picture where megastar Amitabh Bachchan is surrounded by kids Abhishek, Shweta and their cousins as they visited Big B at the hospital, when he suffered a fatal accident on the sets of 'Coolie'.

 

The ' Guru' star captioned the pic as, "#throwbackthursday taken in the mid 80's (1985 if memory serves). I call it Big B and the Bachchan bunch. Dad was hospitalised with Mysthenia Gravis and my sister, cousins and I had gone to visit him. Being too young to understand what all was going on our parents always made it out to be like an outing so that we would not be disturbed by the hospital and its workings."

 

Adding, "When I used to visit my father after his accident on the sets of "Coolie" in 1982, seeing him connected to many drips and machines, he used to tell me they were kites that he had got for me. I was 6 yrs old. My father was fighting for his life and all I thought about was... why isn't he allowing me to play with these kites??? The innocence of childhood I guess."
