Amitabh Bachchan explains his cryptic ‘time to go’ tweet to concerned fans: ‘Likhte-likhte hamein neend aa gayi’. Watch
Amitabh Bachchan explained what he meant by his cryptic tweet which read "time to go." The actor revealed that he works till 2 am for KBC shoots.

Earlier this month, Amitabh Bachchan shared a tweet on his social media which read “time to go.” His fans were quite curious what this tweet meant and they finally got a chance to ask the star about it on the stage of Kaun Banega Crorepati. In a new promo shared by the channel, the studio audience can be seen asking Big B about his tweet and what it really meant. They also tell him with love, “Aap yahan se kahin nahi jaa sakte (You can’t go anywhere.)”
In the promo, Amitabh read out the tweet and then asked his fans if there was anything wrong with it. “Usme kuch gadbadi hai kya? (Is there anything wrong with it)?” One of the fans present as the studio audience asked, “Kahan jana hai? (Where do you want to go?)” Big B tried to reply as he said, “Jaane ka samay aa gaya hai matlab… (It’s time to go that means…)” And immediately, one of the fans jumped in and said, “Aap yahan se kahin nahi jaa sakte (You can’t go anywhere).”
At this point, Amitabh directly explained what his tweet actually meant and said, “Arre bhaisahab, humko kaam pe jaane ka samay aa gaya hai (Sir, it’s time to go to work).” As soon as Amitabh offered this explanation, the audience broke into applause and laughed with him. He shared that his shoot at KBC gets over late at night and by the time he gets back home, it’s 1-2 am. He said his tweet was left incomplete because he dozed off in the middle.

He shared, “Raat ko 2 baje humko yahan se chhutti milti hai toh pahunchte pahunchte raat ke 1-2 baj jaate hain. Toh voh likhte likhte humko neend aa gayi. Toh vahin tak reh gaya. Jaane ka waqt… So gaye. (I get free by 2 am from here, sometimes I get home by 1-2 am. I dozed off while writing that. Time to go… And I slept).”
