Teen solves centuries-old math problem
MUMBAI, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan is recovering well in India after undergoing abdominal surgery, his family said.
The BBC reported Bachchan, 69, is expected to be released from a Mumbai hospital either Tuesday or Wednesday.
He had the operation Feb. 11.
His family told the BBC the surgery had gone well and "everything was normal." However, his stay was extended after he complained he was still experiencing pain.
He said on Twitter Sunday he is feeling better.
"A welcome day. Many aspects improving, many reports positive, smiling satisfied faces all around... your prayers work so well... Hunger pangs swell for the first time... doctors say it's a good sign… hope so," he tweeted.
Bachchan has more than 180 Indian films to his credit during a career that has spanned 40 years. The host of the Indian version of TV's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" also will make his Hollywood debut in the film "The Great Gatsby" later this year.
Bachchan is the father of actor Abhishek Bachchan and father-in-law of actress Aishwarya Rai.
