His dedication is unmatched. Even in 'pyjamas' he's working hard! But honestly, I wish he'd take it a bit easy now. He's earned the right to rest. Still, his energy is inspiring for young actors today.

I've followed his blog for years; it's a masterclass in consistency. The way he connects with fans daily is rare. "Work is work" - that sums up his ethos perfectly.

This man is a machine! From KBC to short films, he's everywhere. While I admire his work ethic, I hope he's not overdoing it. Health comes first, but knowing Big B, he'll never slow down. 🚀

His blog posts are pure gold. The way he phrases things, like "studying assiduously," shows he's always learning. That's why he's still at the top after decades. He's an inspiration to anyone who thinks age is a barrier.

I remember when my father used to say 'work is worship'. Big B lives that every day. 12 short films in a day is incredible, but I wish such news also highlighted the struggles of junior artists who work even harder for less. Just a thought.
