While Amitabh Bachchan has not commented on the viral videos or the flooding outside his residence, he did share a new blog post in which he reflected on the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026 and the spirit of underdogs. His latest blogpost read, “The timings for the WC 2026 for India viewing are late .. very late .. very very late .. but sincere followers ‘burn the candle at both ends’ as does yours truly .. much to the annoyance of .. well .. what really is getting attractive for this WC 2026 is that most of the expected Winners are gradually getting knocked out and the lesser known, progress with aplomb ..how wonderful to see this. To be trodden upon, be tarnished, be degraded, pushed aside as non-entities.. and then .. TO RISE, TO FLOURISH, TO EXCEL, to stand up with them that had looked down upon you .. that is challenge and grit .. BUT NEVER to be ‘telling off’ them that did to you what was demeaning, is the nature of greatness, humility and character.”

On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan will be seen next in the sequel to the hit mythological science fiction film Kalki 2898 AD.
