Amitabh Bachchan on age-related health issues, shares challenges he faces while putting on trousers: ‘Going downwards…'
Bollywood's legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan is always in the news for his old and new films. Recently, he started the 17th season of his famous quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati with great energy. At the same time, he shared with his fans that he is now approaching 83 years of age and finds it challenging to perform some of his daily activities. His latest blog post was about the challenges of ageing he faces daily. Amitabh Bachchan's health update Big B shared, 'Some routines that were there earlier seem to suggest that because it was done some years ago, it shall be a cake walk to initiate them again. NAH .. no baby. Just a day's absence, and the pains and the mobility goes for a very long walk. It is a wonder that the normal actions earlier, now require the mind to think before they can be exercised. Simple acts…putting on the trousers…the doctors advise please Mr Bachchan, sit down and wear them. Do not try to stand while you put them on, you could lose balance and fall.' He added, 'And inside I sort of smile in disbelief…until I find they were so right, that simple act that came so naturally earlier is now governed by a selective routine. Handle bars…oh boy!!!! You need them all over to hold and steady thy body before any physical act. Just the simplest of them being bending down to pick up that piece of paper that had flown off your desk with the breeze. Seriously. The bravado tells you to go ahead, until you realise goodness, it's a major problem…the rapidity of its performance has slowed down with uncertainty.' Amitabh Bachchan's age-related issues Bachchan then candidly mentioned that reading about such age-related issues might seem funny to the readers now. But eventually, age catches up with everyone. He wrote, 'But let me tell you IT SHALL HAPPEN TO ALL OF US. I wish it did not, but in time it shall. We all go downward the day we are brought into this world, the down trend begins at birth. Sad, but it is the reality of living and life. Youth races through life's challenges with aplomb. Age, suddenly speed brakes your vehicle and tells you, apply the brakes to avoid the accelerated bump when you drive the vehicle of LIFE.'

KBC 17 contestant Aditya Kumar: ‘Being praised by Amitabh Bachchan is as big as winning Rs 1 crore'
Aditya Kumar, who created history by becoming the first contestant to win Rs 1 crore on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17, recently opened up about his thrilling journey on the hot seat, his first meeting with Amitabh Bachchan, and the feeling of crossing the Rs 1 crore milestone. Excerpts from the conversation: What kind of preparation helped you perform well in the game? Discipline, patience, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. KBC also proves that knowledge and intelligence can truly change your life. What do you consider the toughest moment on the show? Definitely the Rs 1 crore question. Even if you know the answer, the weight of that amount can shake your confidence. I had to pause, breathe, and trust myself. That faith is what made the difference. What was your very first interaction with Amitabh Bachchan like? Honestly, I was awestruck. His aura is extraordinary—warm, respectful, and reassuring. I thought I'd be nervous, but the way he spoke to me felt like I was talking to someone I'd known for years. Many people dream of meeting Amitabh Bachchan. How did you experience him beyond the glamour? He has a magnetic presence, but what really touched me was his humility. He asked me about my life, encouraged me when the pressure was high, and praised me for playing with knowledge instead of guesswork. Honestly, that praise felt like a bigger prize than the money itself. What emotions did you feel when you saw Rs 1 crore flashing on the screen? It wasn't just about the money—it was about proving that preparation, calmness, and belief can take you far. Rs 1 crore is a milestone, but the real goal is Rs 7 crore. Viewers will see me play boldly because, for me, the journey itself is the biggest win. What's the first thing you want to do after winning? I want to share this joy with my unit at UTPS Ukai, Gujarat. My family is also here now. They've been my constant support, and this victory belongs to them as much as it does to me. Season 17 of Kaun Banega Crorepati airs Monday through Friday on Sony Entertainment Television. The show also streams on SonyLIV. All eyes will be on Aditya as he attempts the Rs 7 crore jackpot question on August 19.
