Bachchan’s neck brace at Aishwarya Rai’s father, Krishnaraj Rai’s funeral sent
fans into a tizzy. The veteran actor took to his blog to state the reason
behind sporting it and said that it was due to a strained neck caused by stunts
he did in his younger days.
"Many have,
yes, seen the picture with the neck brace and have expressed either exclamation
or remedy, or surprise... It's factual and it's on my neck, because the neck is
strained. These are recurrences of old action and stunt injuries right from the
time of 'Don' and several other films that came after that have involved my
physical movements for action deeds going horribly wrong," Amitabh wrote
on his blog.
He also addressed
the lack of safety devices back in the day. “In our time we never had the
benefit of safety devises... it was raw, it was real and it was injury centric
... We jumped from heights without protection, without soft landing gear,
without harnesses,” wrote the 74-year-old actor.
He also says
thanks to the VFX technique, actors are in safer hands today.
Bachchan
continues, “Difficult bike sequences, which involve dangerous riding skills are
never with the leading man - most insurance companies do not allow that, but
that is a different matter - they are done with duplicates and the face
replaced with that of the leading man... The intervention of special effects
have made life and work easy.”
“The cervical has
undergone so many damage inflicting stunts that several vertebrae are damaged,
out of position, infected with trauma, and several other complicated medical
terminology which I just cannot understand,” concludes Bachchan.
