Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is 82-year-old, has once again touched the hearts of his fans with a candid revelation about the challenges of growing old. The veteran actor shared that his health is now closely monitored by doctors, and he has learned to adjust his daily routine to cope with the limitations that age brings.
In his latest blog post, Amitabh Bachchan opened up about how even simple tasks have become difficult. He recalled the advice given to him by his doctors: “Mr. Bachchan, please sit down to put on your trousers, not while standing, otherwise you might fall.” Reflecting on this, he admitted, “I used to laugh at this, but now I understand they were right. Tasks that were once done without a second thought now require a specific method. Handrails are needed throughout the house for support, as even bending down to pick up a small piece of paper is no longer as effortless as it once was.”

The actor further explained that his daily routine is now guided by medical advice. “My daily routine is now dictated by doctors' prescriptions and necessary tasks. Pranayama, light yoga, and maintaining balance have become extremely important. Even a single day's difference impacts my body's mobility and pain levels,” he wrote.
Amitabh Bachchan on the Difference Between Youth and Old Age
The legendary actor also reflected on the inevitable transition from youth to old age. “Your mind urges you, ‘Come on, do it.’ But then you realise it’s not that easy anymore. The pace of work slows down. This happens to everyone. From birth, we begin our downward journey. Challenges are easily overcome in youth, but as we age, we have to apply the brakes to life’s vehicle to avoid collisions.”
