Actor Amitabh Bachchan revealed on Sunday that he was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 2000, but fought back.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) recently roped in Mr. Bachchan as an ambassador for its anti-tuberculosis campaign. “I was diagnosed with tuberculosis when Kaun Banega Crorepati was to be launched in 2000. TB can happen to anyone,” Mr. Bachchan said at the launch of the campaign: TB Harega Bharat Jitega .
“I would feel tired, loss of appetite. I was diagnosed with TB. The ailment can be treated, one does not need to stop daily routine. I worked on KBC without any problem.”
