Mumbai, Jan 26 (PTI) Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty was such a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan during his struggling days that he "slit his chest" for the star's well being when Big B was seriously injured while shooting 'Coolie' in 1983.

The two actors recently met on the sets of a dance reality show which brought old memories back to Bachchan.

"A dedicated follower and one that has always been respected by the fraternity, his concern and love for all is legendary - slit his chest and took a pledge on his blood for my well being during my Coolie episode. How can one ever forget that," the 67-year-old star wrote in his blog.

Bachchan was critically injured in the intestines while filming a fight scene in the 1983 film with co-star Puneet Issar which almost cost him his life.
