  "account": "Amitabh Bachchan, currently resting and recovering, celebrated Diwali with a more subdued approach, according to his recent blog post. The actor stated that fewer firecrackers were set off, leading to a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere. The roads were open, allowing for easier travel, and Bachchan expressed hope for happiness and prosperity to all.\n\nBachchan also shared glimpses of his home celebrations, including photos from the sets of his show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 (KBC). In an earlier blog, he had addressed discomfort in his hand, which has delayed his responses to well-wishers who sent gifts. Despite the delays, Bachchan expressed his gratitude for the affection shown by his fans and assured them of personal replies through letters.\n\nThe delay in KBC 18's new episodes since October 30 was attributed to scheduling conflicts and not related to Bachchan's health. The show is set to resume airing new episodes from November 16.",
