Bachchan snores at his felicitation
Is age and work finally catching up with Amitabh Bachchan ? The actor recently was caught napping at a felicitation function!
Bachchan was at Satyam Cinema in Chennai , where he was honored by the Film Federations on Saturday. The 67 year old veteran dozed off before the ceremony and woke up thoroughly disoriented , not knowing where he was.
Says filmmaker Balki, who was with Big B, "He was fine. He finally had some sleep." At the end of the evening, Big B had 24 shawls to bring back, though he had gone with only a days baggage. Asked what he would do with the massive haul, the Big B said, "I will give them to needy."
But the shawls were the least of his burdens. Says Balki, "Last week, he was running around Paa's premiere . On Friday morning , he left to shoot for Big Boss without any sleep after the premiere. After shooting the entire day , he attended a party and then on Saturday morning he left for Chennai. At an age when a lot of us will be in a rocking chair, he is still rocking."
All the work he is trying to juggle is taking its toll on his health, even as he scurries from events to cities to promote his films and reap the benefits. We think its about time he took some rest, for sure we want to see more of him, but not at the cost of his health.
