Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan will post a blog entry from his hospital bed to update his worried fans about his health, sources close to the actor said on Sunday.

Amitabh Bachchan is planning to write about his health condition on the blog from the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, the sources added.

The Bollywood superstar was admitted to the hospital following abdominal pain on Saturday when he was privately celebrating his 66th birthday at his bungalow Pratiksha in Juhu.

He was recovering on Sunday after being treated for the ailment and doctors attending on him said his test results were normal and that he would be released soon.

Hospital sources said Bachchan was under medical supervision. He is being fed a liquid diet through an endoscopic pipe.

Earlier in the day, his son and actor Abhishek Bachchan thanked senior Bachchan's fans for expressing their concern and praying for his father's recovery.

"I am overwhelmed by the people's concern for my father's health and their prayers for his well being," Abhishek told mediapersons at the hospital.

A host of celebrities that visited him in the hospital included Ramesh Sippy, Prem Chopra, Riteish Deshmukh and his brother Amit Deshmukh, Kirron Kher, Ram Gopal Varma, Tina Ambani, Goldie Behl, Yash Chopra and Subroto Roy.
