‘Hunger for work never lets you sleep’, remembering the days of working together in 10-15 films, Amitabh Bachchan gave advice to today’s actors.

It can be a dream for anyone to reach the position where the megastar of the century Amitabh Bachchan is today, but behind this success lies his years of hard struggle and discipline. Recently, Big B recalled those days of his early career when he used to work in 10-15 films together. He told that at that time there was always a fear in his mind that he might lose this job and he might stop getting work in future. This feeling of insecurity forced him to work so hard that he never knew how to stop. While speaking, he has also made a big comment on the working style of the current generation of actors. Fear of insecurity and the ladder of success According to Amitabh Bachchan, finding work during his time was very difficult and every film was like a new opportunity. He said that he was always afraid that if he was careless today, he might not get any work tomorrow. This was the reason that instead of saving his energy, he used to invest it in work, even if for this he had to compromise with his personal life and health. He shared that there was a time when he had such a long queue of films that he had to work day and night. That period still teaches him a lesson that ‘comfort’ should never be given priority at the beginning of his career. Today’s actors and new approach to work Commenting on the way actors work today, Amitabh Bachchan said that today’s generation is very ‘planned’, which is a good thing but sometimes they lose the breadth of work that comes from years of experience. He indicated that today’s artistes are much more careful in selecting films and they look at every work as a project. Big B advised that the actor should always learn like a student and should not take any role for granted. His experience is not only a lesson for new artists, but also shows that to survive in the cinema world, it is very important to have the right balance of ‘passion for work’ and ‘fear of insecurity’.
