Amitabh Bachchan in pain due to hernia

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has developed multiple hernias in his lower abdomen which is causing him severe pain but the actor, who has already undergone three operations, is trying to avoid another surgery.

"... a stomach surgery, indeed two in quick succession always have the possibility of hernia developing. And that is what is of concern now. There are now two urgent hernia in the lower abdomen which have swelled up dangerously and cause me problems," Bachchan posted on his blog.

"Sharp pains when I stand for too long or walk too much. During dance and action scenes there is huge pain and I counter that with a hernia belt which is temporary and not really a cure," he added.
