Amitabh Bachchan Says ‘Soulful Classical’ Music Helps Him Through Sleepless Nights: ‘No Better Cure’

  • Big B’s struggle with late-night stress.
  • The heavy workload of a superstar.
  • His magical cure: Soulful classical music.

We just saw Amitabh Bachchan’s latest blog post. It feels so real. Even the biggest star in India has trouble sleeping sometimes. He opened up about his long nights and heavy workload.

He works hard. Really hard. Even at 81, he is busy. It reminds us of how Amrita Puri recently defended Deepika Padukone’s 8-hour shift demand. Everyone needs a break from the grind.

When the night feels too long, Big B turns to music. Classical music, specifically. He says there is no better cure for a restless mind. It helps him find peace when his brain won’t shut off.

The vibe of his description is so visual. Picture a quiet room. Dim lights. The soft, golden sound of a sitar filling the air. It’s a beautiful aesthetic. It is much more calming than reading about how much celebrity bodyguards earn.

Being an actor is exhausting. It takes a lot of mental energy. Juliette Binoche mentioned how actors push past their comfort zones to find truth. For Big B, music is the way he gets back to his center.

Our Take

We love this. It is so human. We often think of stars as people who have it all figured out. But sleepless nights? We have all been there. Using art to heal is the most beautiful way to handle stress. It’s a mood we can all get behind.
