Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan recently missed a book launch event owing to high fever, has also been down due to the stomach infection, stiff neck and shoulder pain. 

Big B recently wrote on his blog about his health issue, "I suffered a stomach infection after consuming a pizza with the hottest red chilli powder, the cause of the infection. The fever persists on the infection and its control is being worked on." "The protection gadgetry that is available now for all artists was absent then in those years. The jumps and dives and action work were loaded with real action, causing all the injuries," he also said. About his neck injury, he said, "The neck braces medication and all other kinds of treatments follow. They work momentarily. A final solution is being worked out, hence the absence from functions and events." About his health issue "The nights are the worst. Getting horizontal is impossible, so most nights are spent sitting and hoping to get some sleep. Thus it is a trial, but one that has to be endured. All else is well." "The last thing that would greatly upset me would be the multiple queries, treatments and other advice on how I should conduct myself," he added.
