Why Can’t Amitabh Bachchan Stop Working? The 83-Year-Old Legend Opens Up!
Even at 83, Bollywood’s “Shahenshah” Amitabh Bachchan shows no signs of slowing down. In a deeply personal blog post shared this April, Big B admitted that he finds it “disturbing” to go even a single day without a scheduled work routine. He explained that after six decades in the industry, his mind is so programmed for a busy life that a “lazy day” feels like a mystery he can’t solve. For him, the lack of a routine isn’t a break; it’s a source of restlessness that throws his entire sense of balance off-kilter.
The legendary actor, who recently wrapped up the 17th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, warned that “living in anxiety is harmful for the mind and body.” He believes that staying active and occupied is the best way to keep those anxious thoughts at bay. Whether it’s shooting for big-budget films like Kalki 2898 AD or staying up until 5:30 AM to finish his work, Bachchan’s dedication is truly inspiring. He feels that while the body naturally slows down with age, keeping the mind busy is the secret to staying young at heart.
