Amitabh Bachchan Celebrates 43 Years After Miraculous Rebirth from Near-Fatal Accident

On August 2, 2025, Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan celebrated a remarkable milestone – the 43rd anniversary of his miraculous rebirth. In 1982, Bachchan suffered a life-threatening accident on the sets of the film 'Coolie', which put his life in grave danger. The entire nation held its breath, worried for the actor's health, and he was even declared clinically dead at one point. However, Bachchan defied the odds and made a remarkable recovery, inspiring his legions of fans.

To commemorate this "second birthday," Bachchan's devoted fans took to social media to express their gratitude and celebrate the actor's resilience. Some fans even organized blood donation drives, with one user stating, "A small Tribute to all Donors who donated blood in 1982 & saved #AmitabhBachchan ji's life." Bachchan himself expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the outpouring of love and support from his fans.

The accident occurred due to an accidental punch from actor Puneet Issar during an action sequence. In a recent interview, Issar recounted Bachchan's gracious response, recalling how the legendary actor called him to the hospital and reassured him that it was not his fault, as accidents can happen during such scenes. Bachchan's compassion and understanding in the face of adversity have only added to his enduring appeal and status as a true icon of Indian cinema.
