Amitabh Bachchan has revealed why he doesn’t like taking leave even at the age of 83. In a recent blog post, the actor shared that not working out daily disrupts his routine and makes him feel restless, he highlighted how discipline and staying active helps him maintain his mental balance.
In his post, Bachchan described experiencing an unnaturally “lazy” day, something he said he didn’t like. He wrote that he finds it “disturbing not to work every day”, describing how routine and discipline are deeply ingrained in his life.
The actor said that when he doesn’t follow a schedule, the rhythm of his day gets disrupted. Without a regular work habit, even simple tasks fall out of sync and the day begins to feel unfamiliar and unproductive, he said. Bachchan said that such moments make him question why the day is not going as per his expectations.
Expanding on the idea, he suggested that understanding this tendency within oneself can help bring a sense of peace. However, he acknowledged that not everyone is able to achieve that balance, and said that for some people, this lack of routine can cause anxiety.
Bachchan also discussed the impact of anxiety on overall well-being and said that “living in worry is harmful to the mind and body.” He cautioned against letting such emotions take over, especially when they arise due to disruptions in routine or habit.
The actor ended his post on a reflective note, once again underlining the importance of staying busy and active, which he is prioritizing even at this stage of his life.
