Udaipur, Nov 9 : Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan visited the famous Shrinathji temple in Udaipur in Rajasthan for the first time after recovering from recent illness on Sunday.

His wife Jaya Bachchan, his friend and politician Amar Singh, and industrialist Anil Ambani accompanied him.

Amitabh, who is recuperating from his illness, arrived in Udaipur on Tuesday.

He was discharged from hospital on October 17, almost a week after he was admitted to a Mumbai hospital.

Bachchan, 66, was rushed to Lilavati hospital on his birthday on October 11, after complaining of abdominal pain.

Bachchan has acted in more than 170 films in a glittering career and is easily one of Indian cinemas most recognizable faces. His son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya too are Bollywood actors.

Currently, Bachchan has three projects on the floors, and was in talks for some more when illness struck him. (ANI)
