Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan recently set the internet abuzz with a cryptic social media post, sparking speculation about his retirement from films and television. The veteran actor wrote, “Time to go”, on X (formerly Twitter), leading fans to wonder if he was hinting at stepping away from acting or hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC).
Adding to the mystery, Mr. Bachchan shared an introspective blog entry discussing “saturation” and “leaving a void unfulfilled.” He wrote, “Saturation… and the paucity of space… two sides of the same coin… unavoidable… but present, causing the mind to work in deeds that it may never have encountered…” He also reflected on the overwhelming spread of information and how multitasking has lost its essence, stating, “Multitasking is a great word in the modern lingua… but the virtues of it have been overtaken long back… leaving a void unfulfilled and vacant…”
His words fueled retirement rumours, with some fans expressing concern about his health. However, the 81-year-old actor addressed the speculation in a new promo for Kaun Banega Crorepati 16. He dismissed the retirement talks in his signature style, saying, “Arre bhai sahab, humko kaam par jaane ka samay aagaya hai… gajab baat karte ho yaar! Aur raat ko jab 2 baje yahan se chhutti milti hai, toh ghar pahuchte-pahuchte 1-2 baj jaate hain. Woh likhte-likhte humko neend aa gayi, toh woh wahin tak reh gaya… Jaane ka waqt aur hum so gaye!” (Translation: “Oh brother, it’s time for me to go to work… What are you even saying? When I get off work at 2 a.m., I reach home by 1-2 a.m. while writing, I dozed off, and that’s where it remained… It was time to go, and I fell asleep!”)
This clarification reassured fans that the superstar is not retiring anytime soon. Mr. Bachchan, known for his dedication to work, continues to remain active in films and television, with KBC 16 gearing up for another successful season.
