Amitabh Bachchan shared a blog that got people’s attention after Samay Raina talked about his time on Kaun Banega Crorepati. He spoke about anxiety and how the internet can feel overwhelming.

Samay Raina had said in his “Still Alive” show that he avoided making some controversial or “ulta seedha” jokes while sitting with Amitabh Bachchan. This quickly went viral and made people curious about what happened behind the scenes.

At the same time, Amitabh’s blog about overthinking, too many thoughts, and the pressure of the digital world made people even more interested, even though he didn’t mention Samay directly.

What Amitabh Bachchan spoke about anxiety and the pressure of the internet

As per Hindustan Times report, taking to his blog, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, "Each day brings on fresh thoughts and ideas .. and the desire to pursue each one with the diligence it requires . All of it cannot be assembled in one 'go' . so you work on the principle of 'one at a time' .. Fine .. but the mind keeps reminding of what has yet to be done and the anxiety of it .."

"So you leave everything and sit back .. hoping that the mind shall stop its 'adventure' .. but no it does not .. and the storm of the internet blows strong and drives your attention to so many aspects that it becomes very difficult to assess what and which is the 'real deal' .. The paucity of content , that could be of necessity , is at times overlooked or wishes to attend to all,"

Amitabh Bachchan shared his thoughts on how times and technology have changed

He further added, “Now though there are provisions to find and correct thoughts and search for answers, has dramatically improved .. the speed of knowing is now at the press of a button .. not the 'think button' of the cerebrum .. that has been overshadowed by this medium called the 'net' .. and the revelations coerce one to follow the latest and drive past the earlier usual. For those that have lived past the early times and live now to be overwhelmed by strikingly different methodology , it is a fascinating tale of time. 'Times' were ever an important element to rely upon .. and they do bring in honourable nostalgia .. understood by them that have lived through the past .. for the 'present' it perhaps does not come into consideration .. they are involved in the ‘now’, just as we were when we were their age, facing new inventions and directives.”

What Samay Raina revealed about KBC appearance

During his show, Samay Raina said he had many random and risky thoughts while on KBC with Tanmay Bhat. But he controlled himself and did not say those things in front of Amitabh Bachchan.

He also mentioned a joke about the actor’s son that he chose not to say, showing he held back despite his usual bold style.

About Amitabh Bachchan’s recent work success

Recently, Amitabh Bachchan was seen in Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin. The film, also starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, was a big hit at the box office. People loved his role as Ashwatthama, and he is now working on the film’s sequel.

Amitabh Bachchan’s blog is not directly linked to what Samay Raina said, but people are connecting the two because of the timing. His thoughts on anxiety and the internet feel very relatable today.

The situation also shows how public figures have to be careful about what they say and do, especially when they are getting constant attention from the internet.
