Amitabh Bachchan has shared a deeply personal note about insomnia, demanding work schedules, and the soothing effect of music. The veteran actor recently took to his blog to describe how he often remains awake late into the night while continuing to focus on his professional commitments.
Work Takes Priority Over Sleep
In his latest post, Amitabh explained that work frequently takes priority over sleep. He acknowledged that doctors strongly recommend at least seven hours of rest so the body can recover, repair, and rejuvenate. However, he admitted that maintaining such a routine is not always possible when work responsibilities continue into the early hours. He wrote, “.. no sleep process takes over at this hour of the morning from the night before.. why because, work is more important than sleep.. medical says its not right.. must get 7 hrs minimum.. the body grows develops and repairs in the sleep hours (sic).”
Classical Music as a Source of Peace for Big B
During these quiet hours, Amitabh said he turns to gentle instrumental music for comfort. He described listening to meditative slide guitar and sitar performances that create a calming atmosphere and help him relax. The actor said these soulful classical pieces bring him emotional relief. He believes music has the power to heal and restore inner balance during moments of restlessness and fatigue. “So what does one do.. as I work i am glued to the Ef Blog but in the silence of the night that gentle music on slide guitar – sitar rendering some of the most soulful classical meditation solos.. aaah!! there is no better cure for the soul than this (sic)…”
Music and the Connection to the Divine
Amitabh also reflected on the spiritual significance of music. He described it as an invisible thread that connects the human soul to the Almighty and stirs emotions deep within. According to the actor, music transcends ordinary experience and creates a profound sense of peace. He believes that its effect is felt internally, even though the connection itself cannot be seen. “It is the chord that ties the soul to the Almighty.. that invisible thread unseen, yet felt despite its absence.. i feel.. so it strums the strings within….. the seven notes that have invaded all music in whichever part of the World, are the Universal commonness of mankind…. respect it and it shall respect you…… put it on and softly it shall gave you the peace of slumber…..(sic).”
Seven Notes That Unite Humanity
The legendary star further noted that the same seven notes form the basis of music around the world. In his view, this shared musical foundation represents a universal bond among people across cultures and countries. He added that respecting music allows it to return tranquility and peace. For Amitabh, melody is both an artistic expression and a unifying force. “The seven notes that have invaded all music in whichever part of the World, are the Universal commonness of mankind…. respect it and it shall respect you …(sic).”
Upcoming Projects
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD, where his performance received widespread acclaim. He continues to be one of the most active and respected figures in the Indian film industry.
