Veteran actress and Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan recently made a shocking revelation about her husband, Amitabh Bachchan’s, critical health condition during his hospital admission. She highlighted the dire state of medical facilities and the unavailability of essential medical supplies, such as oxygen cylinders, during emergencies.

Jaya Bachchan stated, “At one point, Amitabh’s health deteriorated so much that he had to be admitted to the ICCU. During this time, he was not in Mumbai.”

She emphasized how critical the situation was, stating that he needed oxygen support 24/7. However, the reality of the medical system left them in distress.

Revealing the shocking inefficiency in healthcare services, she said, “I was personally supervising everything because no nurses were available. The oxygen cylinder ran out, and he was struggling to breathe.” This statement shed light on the severity of the situation, indicating how even someone of Amitabh Bachchan’s stature had to face challenges in accessing proper medical care.

Jaya Bachchan recounted how their family faced a crisis due to empty oxygen cylinders being provided instead of filled ones. “We brought a cylinder in the middle of the night, but it was empty. Can you imagine the condition of the patient and their family in such a situation?” Her words resonated with the struggles that many people have faced in similar circumstances, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
