Overview
- In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Prem Chopra says Amitabh Bachchan sends him a 'get well soon' message every morning and has continued even after being told he has recovered.
- Chopra was hospitalised in November 2025 at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital with a viral infection, age-related complications and severe aortic stenosis.
- His son-in-law Sharman Joshi said doctors performed a TAVI valve replacement without open-heart surgery, calling the procedure smooth and complication-free, with recovery at home.
- Chopra says he is turning down acting offers for now and will consider only something he finds 'truly extraordinary.'
- The two actors share a decades-long bond from numerous films together, including Do Anjaane, The Great Gambler, Benaam, Mard and Naseeb.
