Amitabh Bachchan addresses speculation that he is retiring from Bollywood after a cryptic line in a recent blog post, where he appeared to write that he “retire[s].” The actor tells readers he is not quitting acting or work and that the phrase was meant humorously as a sign-off for the night.

Bachchan clarifies that “Ji nahin huzur… main kaam se retire nahin ho raha hoon” means he is not retiring from work, and he jokes that it refers to going to sleep (“main sone ja raha hoon”). Outlets report that the clarification also reflects confusion caused by his use of language and the way blog entries are interpreted out of context. Both sources tie the renewed attention to his ongoing role as host of Kaun Banega Crorepati, indicating he remains active in television. Overall, the coverage centers on his effort to correct readers’ understanding and reduce misunderstandings that arose from his earlier cryptic wording.
