Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has addressed recent speculation surrounding his career, clarifying that he has no plans to step away from acting or television. The 83-year-old actor put the rumours to rest through a characteristically witty social media post.
The confusion began when a previous blog entry containing the phrase it was late and time to retire was widely misinterpreted by various media outlets as an announcement of his departure from the entertainment industry. Addressing the reports, the actor criticized the misinterpretation while sharing a newspaper clipping about his supposed retirement.
Bachchan explicitly clarified his comments, stating that the phrase simply meant it was time to go to bed. He further emphasized in Hindi that he is not retiring from work, adding a playful remark about media coverage regarding his personal rest time.
Professionally active, the veteran star is currently hosting the 18th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the popular television quiz show that first premiered in 2000. During recent episodes of the game show, he has continued to entertain audiences with light-hearted anecdotes and interactions with contestants. The report also notes that also Read: ‘I wish to retire now…’: Amitabh Bachchan on emotional toll of KBC Season 18. The report also notes that he then made his answer unmistakably clear. The report also notes that “Ji nahin huzoor, main kaam se retire nahin ho raha hoon; Angrezi mein iska matlab hota hai main ab sone jaa raha hoon. The report also notes that aur wahan maanyavar aapko aane ka nimantran nahin hai.” (No sir, I am not retiring from work; in English, it means I am going to sleep. The report also notes that and, sir, you are not invited there.). The report also notes that dismissing any suggestion that he is preparing to step away from his work anytime soon, his clarification comes as the veteran actor remains active professionally. The report also notes that a contestant asks Bachchan whether he has ever waited for his wife, actor and Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan, while she gets ready for an event, in an upcoming episode of KBC.
