Clad in a white kurta-pyjama and a cream shawl, the 69-year-old waved out to his fans. Among them was a man, who imitated Big B's Kaun Banega Crorepati style, to which Amitabh wrote: "...and imitations abound ... not too far away from the real i should say... ha ha."

The veteran actor returned to his home from hospital Feb 23. He was admitted to the Seven Hills Hospital Feb 11 and underwent two abdominal surgeries, following which he complained of acute pain and was kept under observation.
