so up and about and hoping to catch the sleep again… if it comes."Reflecting on his attempts to fall asleep, Amitabh Bachchan added, “At times on the net you get so many physical motions to activate sleep .. tried all and nothing happened ..

so best to do it the natural .. get in to the coverings , cuddle like the fetus we were before evolving and facing the World .. and DONE .. snoring and all… Aaaahhhh… a yawn .. indicator of the shortage of the Oxygen needed ..

so shall retire."The actor also spoke about his disrupted gym schedule and his plans to get back to exercising regularly.

for, the demanding work all over taxes the body and mind .. and a little more attention needs to be accommodated .. The mind says YES ..but the BODY says – ’hold on buddy’, don’t let the old man in ’ easier said than done ..

but DO IT ..so I shall IT," he wrote.On work front, Bachchan is currently busy hosting 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 18'. Get the latest Bollywood & Entertainment News, and more. Download the TOI app. Give your child the gift of confidence!
