Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan shared a throwback picture shared by one of his fans, remembering the time he survived the 'Coolie' accident and how his father, noted Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan reacted upon his return from the hospital. Bachchan Sr took to Twitter and wrote, “The caption informs of 45 million on Twitter .. thank you Jasmine, but the picture says a lot more .. Its the moment I came home surviving death after the 'Coolie' accident .. Its the first time ever I saw my Father breaking down ! A concerned little Abhishek looks on !”

The picture shows Amitabh bending down to touch his visibly distraught father's feet. Young Abhishek stands next to his grandfather. The accident took place on July 26, 1982, during the filming of a fight scene, when Amitabh was gravely injured when he misjudged his jump and landed on a table.

On the work front, Amitabh has 'Brahmastra' in the offing, along with television's 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'.
