    In 1982, during the shooting of the film Coolie, Amitabh Bachchan suffered a near-fatal injury that left the entire nation in shock. The accident happened while filming an action sequence where Puneet Issar’s punch hit Amitabh in the stomach, causing a deep internal injury. His condition became critical, and he was rushed from Bangalore to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital in an air ambulance. As Amitabh lay in the ICU fighting for his life, people across the country prayed for his recovery.

    However, amid the tense atmosphere at the hospital, a heartwarming and unexpected moment took place when legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor visited Amitabh Bachchan in the ICU — with a bottle of champagne in hand.

    Raj Kapoor’s Unique Gesture

    According to a story shared in the book The One and Only Showman, written by Ritu Nanda, Amitabh Bachchan recalled this memorable visit from Raj Kapoor. While most visitors were understandably concerned, Kapoor’s approach was different. He was known for spreading cheer and positivity wherever he went, and this time was no different. Despite the serious circumstances, Raj Kapoor wanted to uplift the spirits of his dear friend.

    Amitabh recounted how one morning, while he was still in the ICU, Raj Kapoor walked in with a bottle of champagne. The Showman sat next to him and said with a smile, “Hurry up, get well soon, and let’s break this bottle to celebrate your new life.”

    The Remarkable Recovery

    Amitabh’s condition slowly improved, and Raj Kapoor’s words served as a motivating reminder of hope and positivity during those difficult days. The champagne may not have been opened in the ICU, but the gesture left a lasting impression on Amitabh, showcasing Raj Kapoor’s unique way of bringing comfort to those around him.

    Amitabh Bachchan’s Lifestyle Changes

    While reflecting on this incident, it’s interesting to note that Amitabh Bachchan was also battling other personal challenges at the time. In an earlier interview in 1980, Amitabh revealed that he was a heavy smoker, consuming up to 200 cigarettes a day. Along with his smoking habit, he also used to eat non-vegetarian food. However, later in life, he gave up both habits for the sake of his health.

    This visit from Raj Kapoor, paired with Amitabh’s willpower, became a significant moment in his recovery and served as a reminder that life’s battles can often be won with hope, positivity, and a little bit of champagne to look forward to.
