The Eternal Student: Amitabh Bachchan on the Evolution of Work and Technology

At 83,Amitabh Bachchanremains more than just a cinematic legend; he is a testament to the power of continuous evolution. Despite his status as a cultural icon, the superstar recently shared a humble reflection on the modern workplace, admitting that even he feels the pressure of today’s "breakneck" technological shifts.

The Regret of Rapid Innovation

In a candid post on his blog, Bachchan expressed a poignant sense of "learning regret." He noted that the tools defining today’s professional world simply didn't exist during his formative years, making the current curve both steep and humbling.

"Each day is a learning," he shared. "The regret is that what needs to be learnt should have been learnt many years ago... but what is being learnt now did not exist then."

He touched on a universal truth of aging: while the desire to keep up remains, theenergy and effortrequired to master new systems can diminish over time.

From Limitation to Liberation: The Power of Outsourcing

Bachchan highlighted a significant cultural shift in how we approach work:

  • The Old Way:In his early career, not possessing a specific skill meant a dead end—you simply couldn't do the job.

  • The Modern Way:Today, he views accepting one’s limitations as a strength. His solution?Outsourcing.He noted with relief that if you aren't qualified for a specific task, you no longer have to abandon it. Instead, you hire experts to bring the vision to life. “Oh boy, what a relief to have got the term right,” he joked, celebrating the agility of the modern gig economy.

Still Dominating the Screen

Even as he navigates these technological "growing pains," Bachchan’s professional output remains as prolific as ever. He was most recently seen in the Tamil action-dramaVettaiyan, marking a high-profile collaboration with Rajinikanth and a stellar ensemble cast including Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati.
