Amitabh Bachchan jokes 24 hours isn't enough as he enjoys FIFA

Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary Bollywood actor, recently shared a humorous take on the constant rush of daily life, suggesting that a 24-hour day simply isn’t enough. In a reflective post on his personal blog, the 81-year-old actor joked, “So much to do and so little time in the 24 hrs … a day should be extended to 36 hrs …!!!” Adding a philosophical twist, he quipped, “And the philosophy of life says that when that happens it shall be asked [to] extend to 48 hrs.”

Even with his packed schedule, Bachchan made time for his love of sports, expressing excitement about watching a FIFA World Cup 2026 match. Referring to the game between Portugal and Congo held at Houston Stadium, he wrote, “Toh chalo bhaiya, khela dekhne vo jo paon se khelte hai (So, let’s go watch the game—the one that’s played with the feet).” The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Bachchan later sharing his enthusiasm on X (formerly Twitter). In a lighthearted tweet, he posted, “T 5775 - ahahahaaahh.. what fun..!”

Known for his wit and passion for sports, the veteran actor often finds moments of joy amidst his busy life. Whether it’s his philosophical musings on time or his excitement for football, Bachchan continues to connect with fans through his unique blend of humor and relatability.

The actor’s reflections resonate with many who juggle demanding schedules yet seek time for their passions. As always, the ‘Shahenshah’ of Hindi cinema reminds us that even in the whirlwind of life, there’s always room for a little fun and a good game of football.
