Megastar Amitabh Bachchan was discharged from Mumbai's Nanavati hospital on late Friday night.

The veteran actor was reportedly admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. While a lot of conflicting reports had been doing the rounds in various sections of the media since Thursday about his health condition, Big B was finally discharged on October 18 at 10 pm.

Big B's wife Jaya Bachchan and son Abhishek took him home. 

The megastar had been hospitalised for routine check-up and is doing fine now. He has been advised bed rest for some time. 

Reportedly, Big B was kept in a special room, which was equivalent to an ICU. 

Amitabh Bachchan has a history of liver issues as he has been surviving on just 25 per cent of his liver. The actor revealed this in an awareness video by UNICEF. He contracted Hepatitis B virus in 1982 when he was transfused with infected blood post a fatal accident on the sets of his movie Coolie.
