Amitabh Bachchan Says Work Keeps Him Up, Turns to Classical Music for Sleep

His late-night blog signals a work-first routine that overrides the seven hours doctors advise.

Overview

  • In a blog post published Tuesday, the 80-something actor said work takes priority over sleep and acknowledged medical advice to get seven hours of rest.
  • He described a simple fix for restless nights, saying soft classical instrumentals on slide guitar and sitar help him relax and fall asleep.
  • He called music a balm for the soul and said the seven notes shared across world traditions make it feel like a universal bond.
  • Coverage links his sleepless stretch to a heavy slate that includes the Kalki 2898 AD sequel, where he reprises Ashwatthama, and the courtroom drama Section 84, which has finished filming without a release date.
  • Bachchan often uses late-night blog entries to share candid reflections, reinforcing his public image as a tireless worker deep into his eighth decade.
