In June 2025, a concerning viral claim emerged about the Bollywood legend, alleging his admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with critical condition due to 75% liver damage. Though Bachchan&#8217;s health has long drawn public attention, especially given his documented liver condition, our investigation reveals these viral posts lack credible evidence and misrepresent the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social Media Posts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The claim began circulating on platforms like Facebook in early June 2025.

In past interviews, he has openly stated that 75% of his liver was damaged due to a Hepatitis B infection contracted after a life-threatening injury on the set of <em>Coolie<\/em> in 1982.

(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.republicworld.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\/amitabh-bachchan-leaves-fans-concerned-hints-at-declining-health-in-latest-blog-at-83-i-would-have\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The viral claim that Amitabh Bachchan has been admitted to the ICU due to critical liver damage is misleading. While it is true that he lives with a serious liver condition, specifically, having sustained 75% liver damage decades ago due to Hepatitis B, there is no evidence of a recent medical emergency or ICU admission. On the contrary, his latest public appearance and verified social media activity suggest he is doing well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Misleading.png\n\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>Fact-Check: Viral Claim About Amitabh Bachchan Being in ICU with 75% Liver Damage Is Misleading\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Fact Check By:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cielito Wang<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Misleading<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20type%20your%20Name%20and%20Language:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Whats-app-sri-lanka.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claims about celebrities&#8217; health conditions often circulate on social media platforms.
