Fact Check: Amitabh Bachchan Sets Record Straight on Retirement Rumors After Cryptic Post

For many years, Amitabh Bachchan has been entertaining large crowds. He is still one of Bollywood's busiest actors at the age of 82. In addition to his work in movies, Amitabh Bachchan hosts Kaun Banega Crorepati. The sixteenth season of the quiz show is now hosted by him. A social media sensation outside of his career, Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most active celebrities on X (previously Twitter). Fans were alarmed by his most recent message, though.

He posted, "Time to go," without providing any context. Fans then flooded Twitter and Instagram with questions, imploring Big B to clarify his statement. The mystery was finally resolved on the most recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, where Amitabh Bachchan directly addressed the speculation. In a promotional video for the show, the megastar humorously responded to a fan's request to dance, setting the tone for a lighthearted exchange.

"Kaun nachega?" Big B joked when a contestant requested him to demonstrate his moves. The audience was in stitches as he said, "Are bhai sahab, naachne ke liye yahan nahi rakha hai humko." Before long, the conversation turned to his tweet, and a second fan inquired as to what he meant when he said, "Time to go." The famously funny Bachchan chuckled and said, "Usmein ek line tha jaane ka samay hai. "Kuch gadbadi hai, toh usmein kuch?"

The tension in the room was instantly reduced by his informal reaction. When a curious audience member inquired, "Kahan jaana hai?" Big B responded in his trademark manner, "Jaane ka samay aagaya hai matlab. Aap yahan se kahin nahi jaa sakte!" was uttered by the entire studio before he could finish speaking.

The Shahenshah of Bollywood finally put an end to all the rumours by saying,“Arre bhai sahab, humko kaam par jaane ka samay aagaya hai… gajab baat karte ho yaar! Aur raat ko jab 2 baje yahan se chhutti milti hai, toh ghar pahuchte-pahuchte 1-2 baj jaate hain. Woh likhte-likhte humko neend aa gayi, toh woh wahin tak reh gaya… Jaane ka waqt aur hum so gaye!"

Regarding his career, Amitabh Bachchan's upcoming project is Kalki 2898 AD Part 2. He will once more share the screen with Prabhas and Deepika Padukone.
