The statement further mentioned about the veteran actor’s ailing health and his hospitalization in Mumbai earlier this month due to a liver problem.
“Bachchan sent his regards to the millions of fans who were eagerly anticipating to hear from him, in person, at the book fair. He expressed profound dismay for missing this opportunity to meet and address them,” the statement further read.
Meanwhile, Big B had family time during Diwali in Mumbai and shared celebration pictures on his official social media handle.
