When Amitabh Bachchan recalled his smoking and drinking memories
Besides acting, Amitabh Bachchan is also an eminent writer, and runs a blog by himself on Tumblr. It was on April 9, 2023, when the megastar once again penned down his thoughts on how he finally decided to quit alcohol and smoking at the same time. At first, he recalled many related memories and mentioned how he and his friends once went to a chemistry lab. Then, they also prepared an elixir with the help of mixing various elements. Following this, his classmates once celebrated their graduation with the alcohol kept at the lab and got extremely sick. He penned:
“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.”
