The
Big
B's
workaholism
is
by
now
a
well-known
fact
in
the
industry.
The
past
week
has
been
exceptionally
hectic
even
by
his
own
standards.
Little
wonder
then
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
dozed
off
at
the
felicitation
ceremony
on
Saturday
at
Chennai
at
Satyam
cinema,
where
he
was
honoured
by
all
the
film
federations
of
Chennai.
At
the
end
of
the
evening,
the
Big
B
had
24
shawls
to
bring
back
from
Chennai.
A
burden
he
was
ill-prepared
for,
considering
he
had
gone
with
only
a
day's
baggage
to
Chennai.
When
asked
what
he
would
do
with
the
massive
haul
of
24
shawls,
the
Big
B
replied,
"I'll
give
them
away
to
the
needy."
But
the
shawls
were
least
of
the
Big
B's
burdens
in
Chennai.
Extreme
exhaustion
finally
caught
up
with
him
when
he
dozed
off
in
his
hotel
before
the
felicitation
ceremony
and
woke
up
thoroughly
disoriented,
not
knowing
where
he
was.
Director
Balki
who
was
with
the
Big
B
says,
"He
was
fine.
He
finally
had
some
sleep.
You've
to
understand
that
this
is
no
ordinary
human
being.
Amitji
is
a
miracle.
He
can
continue
working
non-stop
without
sleep.
Last
week
he
was
running
around
getting
the
premiere
in
place.
Then
on
Friday
morning,
he
left
to
shoot
for
Bigg
Boss
without
any
sleep
after
the
premiere.
After
shooting
the
entire
day
in
Lonavla,
he
attended
the
Bombay
Times
party
and
then
on
Saturday
early
morning
he
left
for
Chennai.
At
an
age
when
a
lot
of
us
will
be
in
a
rocking
chair,
he
is
still
rocking."
Rocking
is
all
very
fine.
But
those
close
to
the
Big
B
feel
he
is
again
overdoing
his
work
schedules
and
needs
to
slow
down,
fast.
Says
a
person
very
close
to
the
Big
B,
"After
two
major
health
scares
recently,
Amitji
has
refused
to
slacken
his
pace.
Except
for
the
break
he
took
to
be
with
Amar
Singh
in
Singapore
earlier
this
year
he
has
been
working
round
the
clock.
