Recently, Bachchan also opened up about his struggles with sleep due to work commitments. In another blog entry, he shared, "No sleep process takes over at this hour of the morning from the night before. Why? Because work is more important than sleep... medical says it's not right... must get 7 hrs minimum... the body grows, develops and repairs in the sleep hours... so what does one do?"
The actor further reflected on the soothing effect of music, writing, "It is the chord that ties the soul to the Almighty... that invisible thread unseen, yet felt despite its absence... I feel... so it strums the strings within..."
Bollywoodâs Big B was last seen in the 2024 films âVettaiyanâ alongside Rajinikanth and âKalki 2898 ADâ directed by Nag Ashwin, in which he portrayed Ashwatthama. He is expected to reprise the role in the sequel, which is currently being filmed in Hyderabad.
