Amitabh Bachchan announces brief break to recuperate, takes time off to rest

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has left fans concerned after sharing a post on X, seeking forgiveness from his followers and revealing that he has been advised to take a few days off to rest and recuperate. The actor, who regularly interacts with fans through his blog and social media, apologised for being unable to write anything during this period.

In his latest post, the 84-year-old actor wrote, “I beg your forgiveness; I've been advised to take some time off for a few days to rest and recuperate, so I'm not able to write anything...”

While the actor did not specify the reason behind the advice to rest, his message has drawn attention, particularly after he recently spoke about suffering a knee injury while shooting for Kaun Banega Crorepati 18.

Earlier this month, the Piku actor began an episode of



the quiz show on a quieter note after revealing that he had injured his knee during the previous day's shoot. Unlike his usual energetic entry, he remained seated during his opening monologue and explained that he was experiencing difficulty standing.

“Usually, I do my monologue standing at the centre, but today, I have a knee injury,” he shared, adding, “Yesterday, during the shoot, I slipped and fell and injured my knee.”

Pointing towards his left knee, the actor explained what had happened, leaving the studio audience concerned. He subsequently reassured them that the injury was not serious and said he would continue standing while interacting with contestants. However, he chose to remain seated during the opening portion of the episode because of the discomfort. The audience also wished him a speedy recovery.
