The iconic quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) is all set to return with its 17th season, and once again, it will be hosted by none other than the legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan. Even at the age of 82, Big B shows no signs of taking a break from his acting career. Despite his age, he continues to charm audiences with his energy, wit, and screen presence.
Amitabh Bachchan has been the face of KBC since it first aired, with only one exception in 2007 when Shah Rukh Khan stepped in as host for a brief period when Big B took a break. But now, even after crossing 80, Bachchan remains as committed as ever, ready to take on another season with full enthusiasm. So what’s the secret behind his evergreen health and stamina? In one of the previous media interactions, his fitness trainer once revealed what keeps KBC host Amitabh Bachchan hale and hearty.
Amiabh Bachchan’s secret to healthy living
The legendary actor is not just known for his acting skills, but also for his discipline, especially when it comes to health and wellness. Despite battling major health challenges in the past, including tuberculosis, he continues to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
Breathing exercises
His wellness coach, Vrindaa Mehta, once revealed in an interview that the Kalki 2898 actor begins his day with breathing exercises (pranayama) and basic yoga stretches. These simple practices help him stay calm, focused, and physically flexible.
Fitness expert Shivohaam, who also trains the veteran actor, says that Bachchan never skips a workout session. As per him, Big B always finds time, morning, afternoon, or even between meetings, to stay active.
Amitabh Bachchan’s Daily Diet and Wellness Habits
Amitabh Bachchan is equally disciplined when it comes to his food choices. In a personal blog post, he wrote that his day begins with a few tulsi (holy basil) leaves, which are known for their immunity-boosting properties. His breakfast typically includes protein shakes, almonds, porridge, or coconut water.
No non-veg, sugar or rice
He also enjoys natural health boosters like amla (gooseberry) juice and dates, which provide essential nutrients and antioxidants. Over the years, Bachchan has made some big dietary changes. He has given up non-vegetarian food, sugar, and rice to keep himself fit.
He believes that skipping sweets and avoiding sugar has played a huge role in helping him stay healthy and reduce the risk of lifestyle diseases like obesity.
As KBC gears up for yet another season, fans are not just excited to see who becomes a crorepati, but also to see their favourite host, who proves that age is just a number.
