Amitabh Bachchan's 17-Hour Work Day Wasn't "Alarming" For Him. Here's What Was

Amitabh Bachchan, who cannot stay away from work, spent "almost 17 hours" on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati 12, and that's just a regular work-day for the 77-year-old actor. Big B, who documents his everyday experiences on his official blog before retiring for the night, logged in to Tumblr around 2 am to write: "Back from work a little while ago and that would be an almost 17 hours of work in a day. Substantial and rewarding for the body that suffers post COVID syndrome." Big B, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 in July and has recovered since, wrote while his hectic work schedule might seem "alarming" to some, the only thing that bothered him on the sets was costume changes: "Sounds alarming , but the only alarms that went off during the day were the inconsistency of the multiple dress changes required for various episodes on the KBC encounter."

Meanwhile, here's what Mr Bachchan posted on Instagram about "being safe and being in protection."

Mr Bachchan, who recently wrote he is "addicted to KBC", also shared the details of what goes into making the sets of KBC a safe place in photos. With Big B on the host's seat on KBC sets, his crew members were seen wearing protective gear from head-to-toe.

बिन पूछे, एक कनखजूरा, घुस गया भैया कान में , बहु कोसिस की लोगन ने, पर उ पहुँचा दुसरे कान में ; बाहर निकल के, जोर से बोला, सुनो हमारी गाथा , इन साहिब के खोपरी में कुछ दिखी नहीं व्यवस्था । ऐँ ? क्या व्यवस्था मिली ना तुमको, हमें भी तो बताओ , घास फूस से भरा है कमरा, खुदय देख के आओ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
