Amitabh Bachchan suffers minor chest injury

Amitabh Bachchan has said that he suffered a minor chest injury during an action sequence on the set of Ram Gopal Varma's Department.

Just a few days ago, son Abhishek Bachchan was also injured while filming a chase sequence in Jaipur for Bol Bachchan.

The elder actor wrote on Twitter: "A minor incident on set during semi action sequence. Got hit on chest rib cage, some damage inside, pain on breathing, bearable! (sic)

"Guess its the season for injury. First Abhishek, now moi."

Bachchan's Twitter account was flooded with tweets from concerned fans and the 68-year-old actor quickly tried to pacify them.

"Okaay I seem to have let loose a cannon !! It will heal. Do not worry All shall be well," Bachchan wrote.

"People of twitter world, relax! Should never have mentioned. Just an accidental hit by either an elbow or the butt of a carbine."

The actor was criticised for announcing daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pregnancy on Twitter, but defended his actions by saying his fans on Twitter are his family. Source
