Amitabh Bachchan Recalls The Time A Diwali Bomb Exploded In His Hand

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan also revealed that he had to shoot for his films despite a Diwali bond exploding on his hands.

Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan has shared with fans on social media how a Diwali bomb had once exploded in his hand, following which the hand had to be restructured. "Fingers ... the most difficult element of the human body to restructure .. need movement continuously .. stop movement they become stiff .. I know .. blew my hand off with a Diwali bomb .. took me 2 months to move my thumb to my index finger !! .. and now how creative," tweeted Big B. He recalled how he had to shoot despite the circumstances, because he had a couple of big films on the floors -- "Inquilaab" and "Sharaabi". Both films released in 1984.

"The Diwali bomb that exploded in my hand and blew it up .. and how restructuring it was a cumbersome process .. work continued .. hand wrapped in a kerchief for style .. or in the pocket for attitude .. but work continued .. as must it should ..Inquilab the first one .. a Madras production .. and Sharaabi the other .. great behind the scenes, stories for both the films .. now not prudent to talk about them .. they are best unwritten and undisclosed," wrote Big B in his blog.
