Legendary Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has made it clear that retirement is nowhere on his mind. Despite being in his early 80s, the veteran actor says continuing to work is vital for his emotional and mental well-being.
In a recent blog post written early in the morning before scheduled meetings, Bachchan reflected on the importance of staying active. He shared that work keeps him grounded and purposeful, adding that the absence of work brings “detrimental feelings.” His message was simple and powerful: keep working as long as you can.
The actor, who recently celebrated his 83rd birthday, has long spoken about his deep attachment to his craft. His comments come soon after wrapping up Season 17 of Kaun Banega Crorepati — a show he has hosted for over two decades. While bidding farewell to the season, he emotionally reflected on the journey, saying that spending such a large portion of his life with the audience has been a privilege.
Bachchan was last seen on the big screen in “Kalki 2898 AD,” continuing to demonstrate that passion — not age — defines longevity in cinema. His commitment serves as a reminder that creative drive and discipline can keep legends moving forward, no matter the stage of life.
