The Story in Brief
Amitabh Bachchan, 83, admitted on Tumblr that he has been working 24-hour shifts, from 7 am to the next 7 am, for commitment over "time sleep food." He apologised for missing blog posts due to the intense schedule. The actor is set to host Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, which premieres on Sony on August 10 at 9 pm.
Earlier this year, Bachchan said a day without work disrupts his routine and makes him anxious. His last film was the sci-fi hit Kalki 2898 AD, which earned over Rs 1,000 crore worldwide. He is currently shooting for its sequel.
The Indian Opinion
At 83, Amitabh Bachchan claims to work 24-hour shifts with no time for food or sleep. The inevitable narrative is that he is a heroic workaholic, an Indian ideal. But this is not a badge of honour; it is a dangerous normalisation of self-exploitation. If his health falters, will production schedules adjust? The real test will be KBC viewership ratings on Sony. Will audiences endorse the glorification of burnout as entertainment?
