Amitabh Bachchan on wellness: 'Move and be in movement'
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Amitabh Bachchan on 11 November 2026 shared a reflective note on wellness, movement, and healthy living through his personal blog, drawing a philosophical parallel between the Earth's perpetual motion and the human need to stay active. The megastar wrote that even a simple walk in the park can make a meaningful difference to one's routine and wellbeing.
What Big B Wrote
In his blog post, Bachchan urged readers to embrace movement in all its forms. He wrote: 'movement is the ultimate .. wellness attracts it .. gives it the needed impetus of worth… a walk in the Park .. busy on the work mode .. just moving … move and be in movement…'
He went further, connecting physical activity to the cosmos: 'Be in movement to bring that routine back .. if you are moving, remember the Earth is moving .. and has been moving millions and billions of years and no estimate of when and for how long the Earth has been moving … when the Earth is moving all else moves .. to us it seems the opposite .. but look at the propensity and its longevity … live well .. in prayer and happiness.'
Health Concerns and KBC Shoot Halt
The blog post comes against the backdrop of reported health concerns surrounding the 83-year-old icon. According to sources, filming of the quiz-based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) was temporarily halted on 7 November as Bachchan had not been keeping well. The channel has since been re-airing older episodes, including celebrity-special episodes shot as part of its Diwali week programming.
The last major celebrity episode reportedly filmed before the break featured actors Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Ravi Dubey, who appeared on the show to promote their upcoming film 'Ramayan'.
A Quieter Diwali
On 10 November, Bachchan had also penned a note on his blog reflecting on a more serene Diwali celebration. He wrote in Hindi: 'Ek Sahaj Diwali Manayi Hai; Patakhe Kam Chalaye Hain; Sadkein Khuli Aur Shor Kam Hai; Vatavaran Kuch Shaant Roop Mein Gahra Hai; Bas Yahi Rahe Hum Sab Par Bhar, Sukh Rahe, Samriddhi Bane, Khushiyon Ki Hahakaar Mache Har Baar…'
The translation offered alongside read: 'A peaceful Diwali was celebrated; fewer firecrackers were burst, the roads were clear and there was less noise. The atmosphere felt somewhat calm and serene. May this peace remain with all of us, may happiness and prosperity prevail, and may every occasion be filled with an abundance of joy.'
Big B's Blog as a Wellness Platform
Bachchan has long used his personal blog as a candid outlet — sharing health updates, philosophical musings, and reflections on ageing. His posts on movement and wellness resonate with a wide audience, particularly given his own well-documented health battles over the years, including a liver surgery and a COVID-19 hospitalisation. The regularity of his writing, even during periods of reported ill-health, has become a signal of his resilience that fans closely track.
With the KBC shoot on pause and no confirmed date for resumption, viewers and fans alike will be watching for updates on his recovery in the days ahead.
