At 81, the legendary Amitabh Bachchan continues to outwork everyone in the room, but even the megastar admits that he is feeling the pinch of a jam-packed schedule. Currently busy hosting the latest season of the iconic quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, Big B recently took to his personal blog to share a candid glimpse into his late-night routine. While he acknowledges that quality sleep is the body’s essential repair mechanism, the veteran actor confessed that finding the time for rest has become an ongoing struggle.
Giving fans a peek into his mindset, Bachchan wrote about the mental whirlwind that hits him when he finally tries to wind down. Despite the exhaustion, his mind remains constantly occupied with fresh ideas and ambitious goals. He described the unique sensation of preparing for a new day of work, fueled by a drive to conquer his objectives. “It is a different feel, a state of many thoughts and ideas, all filled with drive and a sense of conquering all that was once considered as a goal,” he shared, adding that this momentum is exactly what pushes him to head to bed early so he can wake up ready to tackle the next day.
Kaun Banega Crorepati has been a cornerstone of Indian television since its debut on July 3, 2000. Serving as the Indian adaptation of the global hit Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, the show famously marked Amitabh Bachchan’s first major foray into television, effectively revitalizing his career. Over the past two decades, the show has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, deeply woven into the lives of viewers through the emotional stories of its contestants and Bachchan’s signature, tension-filled command to “lock kiya jaye.”
