On 9 January, Amitabh Bachchan took to social media to recall a very specific memory. He shared an old photo that was initially shared by one of his fans. The photo features Amitabh along with his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan and a young Abhishek Bachchan. Amitabh is bending down to touch his father's feet while Abhishek stands on one side with a concerned look on his face.
In the caption, Amitabh writes about how the photo was taken after his return from the hospital post the Coolie accident. He added that it was the first time he saw his father crying. Abhishek also gets a little mention.
The caption reads, "The caption informs of 45 million on Twitter .. thank you Jasmine, but the picture says a lot more .. Its the moment I came home surviving death after the 'Coolie' accident .. Its the first time ever I saw my Father breaking down ! A concerned little Abhishek looks on !"
The incident that Amitabh has mentioned occured during the shoot of Coolie, when the actor was filming a fight sequence during which he misjudged and landed at the wrong spot and ended up hurting himself gravely.
