Amitabh Bachchan sat covered in jacket and shawl in extreme heat, ‘sweating’ Anupam Kher asked him how he’s not feeling hot: ‘If I think…’

Amrish Puri’s grandson Vardhaan Puri recently shared a significant life lesson he learned from Amitabh Bachchan. In a recent interaction, Vardhaan recounted how veteran actor Anupam Kher shared an anecdote about Big B, which left a deep impression on him. This story also had a profound impact on Vardhaan’s perspective on life.

Speaking to Bollywood Now, Vardhaan recalled, “I have worked with Anupam Kher on a film, and I will work with him on another. He told me something during our time together. He was once shooting with Mr. Bachchan in Hyderabad, where it was extremely hot, and the ACs weren’t working. Anupam sir asked the director to quickly take the shot because he was feeling very hot. He noticed Bachchan sahab from a distance, wearing a kurta pyjama along with a jacket and a shawl, with no ACs or fans on. Anupam sir asked him that while he is sweating how is he was not feeling hot. Bachchan sahab replied, ‘When I think about the heat, I feel hot, but if I don’t think about it, it doesn’t affect me.’ I think it’s about how you take life.”

Recently, Ajay Devgn cited the example of veteran superstar Amitabh Bachchan to emphasize the importance of staying busy. He mentioned that every person has an ‘expiry date’, but the trick is to delay it for as long as possible. In a video shared on the NH Studioz YouTube channel, Ajay lauded Big B and said, “I also believe – and I hope everybody believes this as well – that till whatever age you live, you keep working. The moment you stop working and decide to chill in life, you will age three times faster. Look at Mr. Bachchan. He loves to work, he’s continuously working at this age also. He’s intelligent, normal, and sane today only because he’s working.”

On the professional front, Amitabh Bachchan is enjoying the massive success of his recent film Kalki 2898 AD, where he played the role of the immortal Ashwatthama. Big B will next be seen in the Tamil film Vettaiyan, where he will star alongside superstar Rajinikanth after a gap of 34 years.
