Mumbai/IBNS: Veteran Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has once again proved that age is no barrier to hard work, revealing that he completed a gruelling 24-hour work schedule before returning to his daily routine.

The 83-year-old actor shared the update through his personal blog, where he spoke about wrapping up work after an uninterrupted shift that began at 7 am and ended at 7 am the following day.

'Finished work at 7 am this morning'

Describing the demanding schedule, Bachchan wrote: "... aaaahhhh .. got hold of time in time .. finished work at 7 am this morning .. of work that began at 7 am yesterday .. but the importance of its presentation and its timely work was necessary .. so DID IT .."

He added that despite the hectic schedule, he was relieved to reconnect with his regular blogging routine and his fans through his online posts.

"… but more the relief of having connected with the daily routine of the Blog and the Ef .."

Quick meal, brief sleep and back to work

After completing the marathon work session, Bachchan said he planned to grab a meal, get a few hours of sleep and return to work the very next day.

Adding his trademark humour, he wrote: "I shall retire now get some food in the belly .. hit a pillow for a while for, tomorrow the 6th Aug is another early call .. the first Broadcast Date for KBC is announced .. and missing that would mean a job replacement for me .. so off to do what needs to be done .."

Busy with 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'

The actor is currently occupied with the latest season of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), one of Indian television's longest-running and most popular quiz shows. Bachchan has been the face of the franchise since its debut in 2000.

The new season is set to premiere in August 2026, with Bachchan returning as host for yet another edition of the iconic game show.

Gearing up for his 84th birthday
