The Story in Brief
Amitabh Bachchan, 83, has revealed he is working 24-hour shifts for the 18th season of *Kaun Banega Crorepati* (KBC). In a Tumblr blog, he apologised for missing updates, saying work hours stretched from 7 am to 7 am the next day and that 'commitments are commitments' must take priority over sleep and food. He took a break when KBC 18 premiered on August 10 on Sony TV. The veteran actor, who last starred in the Rs 1,000-crore hit *Kalki 2898 AD*, has earlier said a day without work makes him anxious. He is now shooting for the sequel.
The Indian Opinion
The coverage frames Big B's 24-hour shifts as inspiring dedication, but that risks normalising extreme work at 83. Behind the applause lies an industry where even legends fear replacement. His own words, 'missing that would mean a job replacement', reveal that anxiety, not just passion, drives such sacrifice. The real test: can this pace be sustained for a full season without hurting his health? That number of hospital visits or missed days will be the honest measure.
