Amitabh Bachchan reveals hand discomfort amid ‘KBC 18’ absence
Amitabh Bachchan has commented on his health after reports that he missed a filming session for ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 18’, explaining that he has been experiencing discomfort in his writing hand and apologising for delays in responding to fans.
“I have been receiving greetings and gifts from so many well-wishers, and in such abundance that I am now running out of space to keep them. Not storing these gifts properly would amount to disrespecting them,” Bachchan wrote.
The actor explained that he had hoped to personally respond to supporters through handwritten letters but has been delayed by a physical issue affecting his writing.
“I had wanted to write these replies myself. However, I have been experiencing some discomfort in the hand I use for writing, which has caused a delay. I sincerely apologise,” he said.
Bachchan also reflected on the nature of apologies and forgiveness, noting that asking for forgiveness is a natural response when circumstances require it.
“Circumstances have become such that apologising seems to come easily. One should seek forgiveness. After all, there is nothing wrong with asking for it. The other person may refuse, reject the apology, or understand and accept it,” he wrote.

The actor added that acceptance of an apology can bring happiness, while refusing it may leave lingering negativity.
“So, happiness or resentment – that is the question. One brings peace and contentment; the other leaves behind a lingering sting. Now, you must decide: Would you rather embrace contentment or hold on to that sting?” he wrote.
He concluded by reflecting on the different ways people find fulfilment and how individual experiences shape life’s many complexities.
Bachchan’s comments come after reports that he missed a recording session for ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 18’, prompting speculation among fans about his health and professional commitments.
