MUMBAI: The idea of a “lazy” day does not sit well with megastar Amitabh Bachchan. The veteran actor recently shared that not working daily brings a sense of unease to his routine.
Bachchan, 83, who has spent over six decades in cinema, spoke about how discipline and daily work remain a significant part of his life even today. In a post on his personal blog, the actor explained how a break from routine feels “off” and unsettling.
“A day that spelt ‘lazy’… no reason whatsoever… it just seems disturbing to not be working each day. And when you do not work each day according to a schedule, the entire process of habit-forming that was pre-seeded… the day suddenly becomes a mystery of deeds, which would normally have worked in perfect unison,” he wrote.
“And you wonder why the day is not behaving the way you normally wish it to. So, if there is some understanding of this element within us, then ‘may there be peace and calm around us’… but for some it never happens, and that is an added anxiety. Living in anxiety, they say, is harmful for the mind and body, and leading an anxious day on the weakness of this phenomenon is unnecessary,” he added.
Bachchan recently wrapped up hosting the 17th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati.
On the film front, he was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin. The film, which also stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, performed strongly at the box office.
