Bachchans to walk again to Siddhivinayak By: Nishant A Bhuse December 1, 2005
Jaya Bachchan and Abhishek walk to Siddhivinayak on June 28
It's only a matter of time, but Abhishek, Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan's staff will once again be walking to the Siddhivinayak temple at Prabhadevi.
Yesterday, just as Abhishek returned home to Jalsa after a vigil at Lilavati Hospital, where his father is being treated, a servant told him, "Saheb theek ho jayenge toh hum sab Siddhivinayak jayenge." Abhishek turned around and said, "Tum log hi kyon? Hum sab saath mein jayenge."
It may be recalled that Bachchan, Jaya and Abhishek walked bare feet from their Juhu home to Siddhivinayak on June 28 this year, to seek the Lord's blessings. The Bachchans started the journey at 1.45 am and covered the 10-km stretch in two hours, without a single halt.
According to Siddhivinayak officials, a special aarti for the ailing star was held on Tuesday.
"Some of his close friends met us and requested that we perform an aarti," said one of the temple trustees, requesting anonymity. The temple officials then sent special prasad for the Big B to Lilavati on Tuesday evening.
Doctors attending to Bachchan said the operation for infection, inflammation and perforation in the small and large intestines went on for two hours between 6.30 and 8.30 pm yesterday.
A team of four surgeons were present during the operation. "He will be here for 10 days," said a doctor. Meanwhile, late last night only Jaya remained with him at the hospital as his friends and family went home to rest
