Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan's health continues to improve and he has been put on a liquid diet on the fifth day of his hospitalisation following complains of abdominal pain, a spokesperson for Lilavati Hospital said here Wednesday.

"Amitabh Bachchan continues to improve in health. He is on a liquid diet. While the doctors are definitely happy with his constant progress, they are not ready to comment on when he is going to be discharged," said Lilavati Hospital spokesperson Mohan Rajan in a statement.

"The media has been requested to do factual and responsible reporting and not indulge in any speculation whatsoever," Rajan added.

Bachchan was rushed to the Nanavati Hospital, Vile Parle, a northwest suburb Saturday afternoon following complaints of abdominal pain and breathlessness. Later he was shifted to Lilavati hospital. He was celebrating his 66th birthday at his bungalow Pratiksha in Juhu.

Apart from his wife Jaya, daughter Shweta Nanda, son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai are present at the hospital.
