Amitabh works from morning to night
In an interview with Humans of Bombay in August, Abhishek Bachchan had revealed that Amitabh shoots for two KBC episodes a day and still rehearses for each and every episode ‘just in case’ he forgets his lines. He said that though his shoot starts at 11 am, the senior actor reaches the sets at 7:30 am to be able to rehearse. “He will get home at around 11:30-12 (at night), shower, have his dinner and then he gets on to his blog, he will be answering all his messages on Twitter,” he added.
