The actor had shared a blog to celebrate 37 years of his film Mahaan where he talked about attending Rishi’s baaraat with a bandaged hand after suffering a serious injury on the sets in Chennai.

He was immediately rushed to the hospital where he was “drugged , treated , stitched up and bandaged” and soon after, he left for Mumbai to attend Rishi and Neetu’s wedding function at the Burmah Shell complex in Chembur. The actor shared a few pictures which show him in a suit and the customary pink turban on his head with his hand in a bandage. One photo shows Rishi’s uncle Shammi Kapoor besides him.

Amitabh had returned to Chennai the next day to resume the shoot. However, the injury could never get time to heal well as he again suffered burns on same hand while lighting firecrackers on Diwali. Sharing how he went on to hide his injured hand in films, he wrote on his blog, “the art of camouflaging the injured hand became a routine exercise later too, when it blew up during Divali, handling a bomb firecracker .. immediate films .. Inquilab and Sharaabi .. hand in pocket mostly or a handkerchief wrapped around to express style.”
