In the midst of swirling rumors surrounding his family, veteran Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has found solace in the one constant in his life – his work. The 81-year-old actor, who is known for his active social media presence, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a thought-provoking post about the importance of constant work in his life.

Posting a black-and-white photo of himself rehearsing for the popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, Bachchan wrote, “T 5075 – work work work… the only incentive to life and living…” . The veteran actor, who has been a part of the Indian film industry for over five decades, has long been known for his unwavering dedication to his craft.

Amitabh’s fans were quick to rally behind the legendary actor, praising his unwavering work ethic and dedication. One fan commented, “And salute to you in this age you are working,” while another added, “Love You @SrBachchan Sirji ❤️.” Several others echoed the sentiment, calling the veteran actor an “inspiration” for his relentless pursuit of his craft.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Bachchan reflected on the importance of work in his life, stating, “Work is not just a job for me; it’s an integral part of my being. It’s what keeps me going, what gives me a sense of purpose and fulfillment. When I’m on set, when I’m performing, that’s when I feel most alive.”

This poignant message comes shortly after his son, Abhishek Bachchan, sparked rumors of marital troubles by “liking” a post about rising divorce rates.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was seen attending the Ambani wedding separately from her husband Abhishek Bachchan, who arrived with his family. The Bachchan family has long been the subject of intense public scrutiny, and the latest development has only added fuel to the fire. Abhishek Bachchan recently “liked” a post on Instagram that discussed the rise of “grey divorces” or “silver splitters” – a term used to describe couples seeking marital dissolution typically after the age of 50.

The post, shared by author Heena Khandelwal, featured an image with the words, “When love stops being easy. Couples who have been married are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?” The accompanying caption delved deeper into the challenges faced by couples who separate after decades of being together.

“Divorce is never easy for anyone. Who doesn’t dream of a happily ever after or envision recreating those heartwarming videos of elderly couples holding hands as they cross the street? Yet, sometimes life doesn’t unfold as we hoped. But how do people cope when they separate after decades together, after spending a significant portion of their lives relying on each other for both big and small things? What drives them to sever ties, and what challenges do they face? This story delves into these questions. Coincidentally, ‘grey divorces’ or ‘silver splitters’—terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50—are on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising,” the post read.

Abhishek’s “like” on this post quickly went viral, with many speculating about the state of his marriage to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. However, some fans came to the actor’s defense, suggesting that the “like” might have been a general one and not necessarily related to any personal issues.

On the work front, Abhishek Bachchan has reportedly joined the cast of Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘King’, wherein he will essay the antagonist.
