Amitabh Bachchan reveals he worked until 5:30 am in a late-night blog update, reflecting on his emotions, routine, and coping with recent personal loss.

Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting KBC 17.

Amitabh Bachchan, revered as one of Indian cinema’s greatest icons, continues to demonstrate his remarkable work ethic even at 83. The legendary actor, who recently celebrated his birthday, frequently uses his long-running Tumblr blog to share personal reflections and interact with fans. In his latest post, he revealed that his schedule has been so demanding that he worked straight through the night.

In his update, Amitabh wrote, “Kept working till 5:30 in the morning .. and just forgot there was important Blog work and responses to give.. so apologies and regrets .. But regret never for the Ef.”

Amitabh Reflects on Grief, Routine and Support From His KBC Crew

In another recent entry, Amitabh shared that he has been overwhelmed by “images and feelings” lingering over the past few days. “Images and feelings of the past days still linger and the mind and body is unresponsive to the routine of work,” he wrote, adding that although people say “the show must go on,” those grieving often struggle silently.

Amitabh recently lost his Sholay co-star and close friend Dharmendra. He had also shared a heartfelt tribute, calling Dharmendra a “valiant giant” and expressing deep grief, noting the irreplaceable void left by his passing, with both actors having shared a profound bond beyond the screen.

Meanwhile, he also recounted how the crew of Kaun Banega Crorepati took him out for dinner at a South Indian restaurant after a long day of shooting. While he appreciated the gesture, he revealed that his heart remained heavy because no one knew it was his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s birth anniversary. “To each his own,” he reflected.

Amitabh has also been mourning the recent death of his close friend and beloved actor Dharmendra, who passed away at 89 after weeks of ill health. The loss has deeply affected him, adding emotional strain to an already packed schedule.

On the professional front, Amitabh was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD, where his powerful portrayal of Ashwatthama earned widespread praise. Directed by Nag Ashwin and co-starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan, the film crossed ₹1,000 crore worldwide.
