Mumbai:
The condition of megastar Amitabh Bachchan was improving and he was likely to be discharged from the hospital in a day or two, even as his wife Jaya and son Abhishek today (Dec 13, 2005) visited the Siddhivinayak temple at Dadar to offer prayers, sources said.
Bachchan, who is recovering from diverticulitis of small intestine, for which he was operated upon, is recuperating at Lilavati Hospital at suburban Bandra and has overcome the problem, hospital sources said.
Bachchan may be sent back home mostly by Wednesday, although the dietary restrictions will continue, they added.
Meanwhile, Jaya and Abhishek performed pooja at the temple and also took 'prasad' for Amitabh and other family members, sources added.
The Bachchans are devotees of Siddivinayak Ganesh, and previously have walked from their home in Juhu to Dadar, a distance of over 15 kms, to perform pooja at the temple.
