Today, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan wakes up in the morning and reads Geeta, plays sitar and reads books in his free time. Although he was not always like this. Let us tell you that he was also a chain smoker at one time in his life. Amitabh Bachchan told in an interview given in 1980 that he used to eat meat and also consume alcohol, however now he has given up everything.
This is why I quit smoking
Amitabh Bachchan said in his interview that now I neither drink alcohol, nor smoke cigarettes nor eat meat. Although earlier I used to eat meat, smoke cigarettes and also consume alcohol. But now (1980) I have left all this. When I was in Kolkata, I used to smoke 200 cigarettes a day. But after coming to Bombay, I had given up smoking cigarettes. I used to drink whatever I saw but later I realized that I didn’t need them.
In the interview, Amitabh Bachchan was further asked whether he had given up eating and drinking all this due to religious reasons? Big B had left this issue not for religious reasons but for personal reasons. In our family my father is a vegetarian but my mother eats meat. Similarly, Jaya also eats meat and I do not.
Liver is only 25 percent
Amitabh Bachchan had taken heavy doses of medicines after the accident during the film “Coolie”. Hence, shortly after this accident, Big B became a victim of a disease called Myasthenia Gravis. After this, he developed liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis virus.
The result was that Amitabh’s liver got 75 percent damaged and the doctor had to cut out the infected part of his liver. Hence Amitabh is currently alive on only 25 percent liver. However he still has not lost courage. Even at the age of 82, he shoots every day and also motivates people.
