Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has said one of his recent posts was misinterpreted and confirmed he has no plans to retire.

The actor shared a note on his blog earlier this week, which had ”its late, time to retire” written and was misunderstood by some. Bachchan attached a newspaper clipping with the retirement news on it as he shared another note on Monday and called out the false reports.

“I wrote in the Blog .. ’its late , time to retire .. ’ which we all know means retire to bed it’s late .. and this is the Media – the CONSCIENCE of a NATION – THE ULTIMATE INFORMER,” he said.

“No sir, I am not retiring from work any time soon; (retire) in English means going to sleep. And you are not invited there,” the actor added.

Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting the quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18. In a recent post shared on his Tumblr blog, Big B reflected on his experience of hosting the ongoing season of KBC. He revealed that some contestants have shared “grave personal stories” that it becomes challenging for him to control his emotions and continue hosting the programme.

Bachchan posted, “Some contestants come with such grave personal stories, that it becomes difficult to conduct not just our feelings for them but also to continue hosting the show ..I shall not indulge more because it would take away some elements from the understanding that a host gives to the Channel .. but it has been a heart – breaking experience .. I wish to retire now .. it is late .. and the night invites .. Love.”
