Mumbai A news related to Amitabh Bachchan is in discussion for the viewers of the popular television quiz show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' (KBC). It is being told that the shooting of the show had to be stopped recently and due to new episodes not being ready, old episodes are currently being aired. The reason for this is said to be Amitabh Bachchan's poor health. However, some reports claim that his break from shooting is not due to health, but due to busy schedule and unavailability of dates.
Advice for rest due to seasonal illness
According to media reports, due to change in weather, Amitabh Bachchan is suffering from seasonal problems like viral or flu. Doctors have advised him to rest and focus on complete recovery. It is being told that about two weeks ago he had shot a special episode based on Ramayana with Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey. Since then he is away from shooting.
Amitabh Bachchan had also mentioned on social media that he was not feeling well and needed rest. However, the actor is known for his commitment towards his work and has been shooting for long hours even at this age.
Work busyness can also be the reason
On the other hand, a report in The Indian Express, quoting sources, has claimed that Amitabh Bachchan's break is due to his busy schedule and shooting dates not being available, rather than due to health issues. In such a situation, it is not clear at the moment what is the real reason for stopping the shooting of KBC.
Amitabh Bachchan had shared a post in his blog on November 7, 2026, saying that he is gradually returning to his old routine and working life. He wrote in a light-hearted manner that when he is away from his regular routine, sometimes he forgets his glasses, mobile and even the work done a few hours ago.
Memories of school days are still fresh
Amitabh told in his blog that even though he faces difficulty in remembering some everyday things, the memories of his school days are still fresh in his mind. Even before this, he had shared his experiences regarding sleep problems and gym and exercise routine in old age.
Brakes not related to security threat
It is worth noting that recently the news of Mumbai Mayor receiving a threat to target Amitabh Bachchan's house through email also came to light. However, media reports have quoted sources as saying that the actor's stay away from the shoot has nothing to do with the security issue.
At present, the real reason for Amitabh Bachchan taking a break from the shooting of KBC is not clear. His fans are hoping for his speedy recovery and return to the show.
