Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has shared on his Twitter account how he was 'reborn' on August 2, after an accident on the sets of his film 'Coolie' injured him severely. While filming a fighting sequence with co-star Puneet Issar, he was supposed to land on the table but instead, he hit the corner of the table and sustained an internal abdominal injury.


The injury proved to be near fatal and Big B had to undergo multiple surgeries. He was even declared 'clinically dead' by doctors, till August 2, which is when the doctors administered a shot of adrenaline straight into his heart. His wife and actress Jaya Bachchan who was with him in the hospital, saw his toes move and exclaimed that he was alive. And this is how August 2 came to be known as Amitabh Bachchan's second birthday. Director Manmohan Desai even re-wrote the ending of the film 'Coolie', where Amitabh's character recovers from a near-fatal injury, just like in real life. 


Amitabh Bachchan took to twitter to thank his fans and said that it was only prayers that kept him alive and he can never pay this debt. Even son Abhishek Bachchan tweeted saying,

Amitabh Bachchan will be next seen in '102 Not Out' and 'Thugs Of Hindostan'.
