No slowing down for Big B

New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) At 69, Amitabh Bachchan is having one of the best phases of his life -- be it the big screen, TV or advertising space. And while most of his contemporaries are staying away from the spotlight, the megastar has no plans to take a break.

'Some say be selective, others advise rest and to leave. I advise myself that I need to be occupied. The joy and the thrill of a daily shooting routine is still as infectious and desirable as when I started out,' Big B posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com.

'This is good. The day it stops, it will melt away the face that reacts to a mirror each morning wondering what contortions it shall endeavor for its oncoming creativity,' added the four-time National Award winner, who has been in the Indian film industry for over four decades and is its foremost icon.
