This actor did 5 ads, 2 shoots in just 120 minutes, director got 'worried', asked him to..., today he is worth Rs 3190 crore, his name is...
In a world where time is money, Amitabh Bachchan just rewrote the rules of productivity — and made a few people nervous in the process.
In a recent blog post, the legendary actor revealed that he wrapped five ad shoots and two photoshoots in just two hours. Yes, two hours. The hyper-efficient feat didn't just earn him admiration — it also sparked a playful warning from the director. The director said, 'Aap to kaam karne ka tareeka hi bigaad rahe hain.'
Bachchan recounted the moment with his signature humility and said, 'Kaam kar raha hoon… aur isse jo khushi milti hai, woh gajab ki hai… kareeb 2 ghante mein 5 filmein aur 2 photoshoots kiye… beshak ye sab ek advertisement hai… lekin phir bhi yeh badi baat hai!!'
The light-hearted banter with the crew took a serious undertone when they joked about how his speed could reset industry expectations. The director further added, 'Agar aap ek din ka kaam aadhe din mein khatam kar denge, toh client aur zyada ads banayega… naye rules banenge… sabko jaldi kaam karna padega.'
But Big B doesn't see this as a personal win — he sees it as a win for the crew. He clarified, 'Main yeh kaam apni suvidha ke liye nahi, balki wahan kaam karne wale workers ke bhale ke liye karta hoon.'
The actor admitted being often asked about the changes he's seen in the industry. He said, 'Mujhse pucha jaata hai ki maine film industry mein kya badlaav dekha hai… maine bahut se badlaav dekhe hain.'
Still, he stopped short of listing them, wary of misinterpretation in today's media landscape. He said, 'Nahi… main yeh baatein nahi kahunga, kyunki aajkal media aur internet ki duniya mein content ki taqat kamzor ho gayi hai.'
Ending his post on a content note, the actor wrote, 'Kaam karna bahut sukhad aur santosh dene wala hai.'
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan will be next seen playing Jatayu in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayan: Part 1. According to reports, today, his net worth is Rs 3190 crore.

Who will inherit Sunjay Kapur's Rs 310000000000 business empire? Karisma Kapoor's daughter Samaira....
Who will inherit Sunjay Kapur's Rs 310000000000 business empire? Karisma Kapoor's daughter Samaira.... Indian automotive industry veteran and Chairman of Sona Comstar, Sunjay Kapur, passed away on Thursday. He was 53 years old. He was best known to many as the former husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. The couple had two children together: daughter Samaira, born in 2005, and son Kiaan, born in 2011. They filed for divorce by mutual consent in 2014, which was finalized in 2016. Sanjay is the son of Surinder Kapur and Rani Kapur. He took over management of his father's business in 2003, and following his father's death in 2015, he was left to handle it entirely on his own. Sanjay had two sisters, Mandira Kapur and Suparna Motwane. Speculation is rife that following Sanjay Kapur's untimely demise, ownership of his business may pass to his two sisters. For context, Kapur was the owner of Sona Comstar, a leading name in the Indian automotive sector, with a market capitalization estimated at Rs 31,000 crore, according to Bloomberg. As far as Sunjay Kapur's personal life is concerned, he was married first to Nandita Mahtani. Their marriage lasted four years before they got divorced. The couple had no children. Later, he married the Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. They got divorced, and he subsequently married actress and model Priya Sachdev, who was previously married to hotelier Vikram Chatwal. Priya Sachdev was a mother from her previous marriage, having a daughter from their marriage. After marrying Sanjay, she gave birth to a son, Azarius. As such, Sanjay had responsibility for a total of four children: Samaira, Kiaan, Safira, and Azarius. Priya Sachdev and the four children represented his family, and they used to enjoy festivals together. Now that he has passed unexpectedly, the whole family business is reportedly going to be managed by Priya Sachdev. Sanjay Kapur was estimated to have over Rs 12,000 crore of assets under management, which must be quite a business for someone taking over. In 2017, model and actress Priya Sachdev entered Sanjay Kapur's life. She was previously divorced and had a daughter named Safira Chatwal from her first marriage. After marrying Sanjay, the couple welcomed a son, Azarius. This brought the total number of children under Sanjay's care to four—Samaira, Kiaan, Safira, and Azarius. Priya and these four children made up his close-knit family. Sanjay Kapur reportedly owned assets worth over Rs 12,000 crore, and managing such a vast empire could now become a significant challenge.
