Amitabh Bachchan Opens Up About Aging Struggles at 82

At 82, Amitabh Bachchan continues to work tirelessly, currently hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati 17. While the industry admires his energy and fitness at this age, the legendary actor has openly spoken in his new blog about the challenges that come with growing older.

The megastar revealed that after crossing 80, even the simplest daily routines have become difficult. He admitted that he now struggles with tasks that were once effortless, such as wearing pants without losing balance. His doctors have advised him to sit down while dressing to avoid the risk of falling.

Fitness and Routine

Bachchan wrote that he follows a routine of pranayama, light yoga, and basic exercises at the gym to maintain balance and mobility. Yet, he admitted, the body gradually begins to lose its natural stability, making even small actions require extra thought and effort.

He shared that a short break in his routine often results in unexpected pain, and that before resuming even the simplest activities, his mind now hesitates.

Everyday Challenges

The actor highlighted how ordinary acts, like bending to pick up a piece of paper, now demand greater focus and balance. “What once felt natural has turned into a careful process,” he confessed, adding that he sometimes needs support like a handle bar for stability.

A Universal Truth About Aging

Bachchan reflected that these changes are not unique to him but are part of life’s reality that everyone will eventually face. “You may laugh reading this now, but aging will come for all of us,” he wrote, acknowledging the inevitability of decline.

Ending on a somber note, he added, “No one can fight age — in the end, we all lose. What matters is to accept, prepare, and cherish the moments we still have.”
