  "account": "Amitabh Bachchan has broken his silence on recent health issues, admitting to experiencing discomfort in his hand while writing. The actor recently apologized multiple times on his blog for the delays in responding to fans' gifts and messages. Amitabh expressed gratitude to well-wishers for their affectionate gestures, but admitted that storing all the gifts was making it difficult for him to keep them organized. The discomfort in his hand has been a factor in his reduced activity, including skipping the shooting of his popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati 18. Amitabh also mentioned struggling with sleep and maintaining his gym routine, acknowledging that the demands of his career took a toll on his body and mind. Despite the challenges, the megastar is determined to return to hosting duties for Kaun Banega Crorepati after November 11.",
