Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who arrived on a visit here Sunday, said Mumbai, where he has lived for over four decades, is "fine" and healthy.

"Mumbai's health is fine, " Bachchan replied at a function here when reporters asked him about the recent Shiv Sena activities that have triggered tensions in the city.

"Please, I have come here to your state for a good thing, to launch a health programme, " Bachchan said.

This led to the next question that the query was relevant because it concerned the health of Mumbai, prompting his response.

Bachchan was in the city to launch a health project of the Resul Pookutty Foundation and a private hospital which will treat the poor and needy.

He also donated Rs.11 lakh to the foundation.
