Bangalore:
Amitabh Bachchan's accident on the sets of
Coolie in Bangalore made headlines back in the early 80s. Now, the nurse who helped him back to health, needs his help.
Julie still remembers the man who was probably the most famous patient she ever treated and his distinctive voice. But she is no longer a nurse walking efficiently around her ward. Some years ago, she was left wheelchair-bound by a debilitating illness, and is in need of treatment.
The superstar had in fact sent Rs 2 lakh for Julie's treatment. But Julie says she never got that money - it was allegedly taken away by family members.
She now needs money for treatment that will cost Rs 1 lakh and involve hospital admission for a month.
"I have no money at all, that is why I am asking for some help now," she says.
