Amitabh Bachchan delivered a spectacular performance in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD at the age of 80 and is gaining praise from all over the country. Appreciating Big B's performance and hard work, Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn said that Amitabh is intelligent, normal and sane today, only because he is working.

In a video shared by NH Studioz on their YouTube channel, Ajay can be seen saying, “Gradually, you start forgetting all your hobbies. And now, when you have a break, you really don’t know what to do with yourself. You feel that, 'I enjoy the most being on set'. Even if you take a break...you say, 'What do I do with myself?' I’m the happiest on set, or when I’m working.”

Ajay added that the reason Amitabh is sane and intelligent today is because he is continuously working. He said, “I also believe – and I hope everybody believes this as well – that till whatever age you live, you keep working. The moment you stop working and decide to chill in life, you will age three times faster than what you are ageing. Look at Mr (Amitabh) Bachchan. He loves to work, he’s continuously working at this age also. He’s intelligent, normal, sane today also, only because he’s working.”
