Amitabh Bachchan mentioned how he will not deny consumption of alcohol or smoking, but he has given up both for 'years and years now'.
Amitabh Bachchan on Monday took to his blog and revealed how he ended up quitting smoking and drinking. He shared how post-graduation, some of his classmates got together to drink pure alcohol in the science lab, but they ended up falling extremely sick. “The act that taught a lesson very early towards the effects or rather the dis-effects of the elixir,” Big B, who recently injured himself on the set of his film ‘Project K’, wrote.
He further revealed how there were a few other instances ‘when this intoxicant played havoc due to its excess’. He added it’s been a personal choice to leave alcohol and even cigarettes. Revealing how one can get rid of smoking at one go, he quipped, “The more the dwindling, the greater the undesired habit of remaining …”

“a Sunday that worked with a vengeance .. to disrupt the norm , when it disrupts you .. a normal tendency .. but never suggested in practical .. practicals bring back memories of School, where the word or the expression was invariably referred to the practicals in the Science Labs .. mixing elements , playing around with gadgetry in the physics lab .. the College routine in continuation and the site one fine day when the last paper for the Graduate degree was over to find some of the classmates celebrating with the pure alcohol , kept in the Lab, for experiments and getting extremely sick .. .. an act that taught a lesson very early towards the effects or rather the dis effects of the elixir ..
Yes there were a few other instances noticed, in School and in College , when this intoxicant played havoc due to its excess .. and then when in job in the City of Joy, the natural curriculum seemed to be in line with that phrase ‘social drinking’ ..
I shall not deny the consumption of it, but its reason or resolve in leaving for years and years now, I shall not deliberate .. it is a personal choice and demeanour .. yes I do not .. but why the announcement of it ..
as is the case with the cigarette .. in abundance in the years of free, and the sudden and immediate resolve to leave it .. and the way to leave is really quite simple .. chuck that glass of the intoxicant , while in the middle of it and crush the ‘ciggi’ on your lips at the same time and .. sayonara .. the very best way to be in riddance .. not some part time exigencies to stop the use .. it's the removal of the cancer at once .. done at the rush of a stroke .. the more the dwindling , the greater the undesired habit of remaining ..”
The thespian resumed work earlier this month while he continued to recover from an injury. Apart from Project K, he also has ‘Ganapath’, ‘Section 84’, remake of ‘The Intern’ and R Balki’s next in the pipeline.
