“I’m fine… a misunderstood article… I was giving an example… The period after a surgery or ICU incident, the hardest time is when you come home… and you have to deal with your damaged state… So when a Champion loses, the hardest time is dealing with yourself afterwards… Argentina as the referee for the loss and Messi as the losing champion… People assumed it meant me,” Big B wrote. News agency subscription continued, expressing how his words were misassumed. “Every Champion must know that in time another Champion will emerge!! It is difficult for a Champion to face the fact that someone else has taken his place.. but that is life, there will always be,” he added. Bachchan drew parallels between the recovery of the human body after surgery and the rise of Argentina.

“The body is phenomenal, it adapts, it works, but maybe not like it used to.. The lost Champion has similar feelings to struggle with.. BUT.. a tough fight with it.. when worked on the body can bring results, maybe not like before, but the results it brings.. The Champion can rise from his fallen state, fight to become the Champion again,” he concluded. In a previous post, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “.. In the hospital, operating theater and ICU, under the supervision of expert Doctors and medical staff.. discharge.. and return home.” On the work front, the actor was last seen in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan in lead roles.
