Some relationships in Bollywood remain limited to films, but some friendships remain equally strong even after years. The friendship between Amitabh Bachchan and Prem Chopra is also similar. In today’s time, where people become busy in their work and life. Amitabh Bachchan is an example for the people there because like a true friend, he always stands by his close ones even in difficult times.
Amitabh sends messages every morning
Recently, in a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, Prem Chopra told that ever since he fell ill and was admitted to the hospital last year, Amitabh Bachchan has been sending him a message every morning. Every day he writes in the message ‘Get well soon, Prem… praying for you.’ However, even when Prem Chopra himself told Amitabh that he was completely fine now, Amitabh did not stop messaging him. Prem laughingly told that even after repeated explanations, he keeps sending messages with great love every day.
Had heart surgery last year
Let us tell you, Prem Chopra was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai last year. According to doctors, he had a serious heart disease called aortic stenosis along with viral infection. During treatment, he was successfully operated without open heart surgery. His son-in-law and actor Sharman Joshi also told that now he is at home and is feeling much better than before. Prem Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan worked together in many films in the 70s and 80s like Woh Kaun Thi, Upkaar, Bobby, Do Anjaane and Dostana, where Prem was often seen in the role of villain. In a career spanning more than six decades, Prem Chopra made his mark in hundreds of films and is counted among the most memorable villains of Hindi cinema.
