Amitabh Bachchan quips he's the 'greatest makkhi maar in the business'

Mumbai, July 14 (IANS) Bollywood’s “Shahenshah” Amitabh Bachchan has given a peek into his humor-filled day off, saying that even a single day of rest makes the "entire system revolt” and quipped that instead of relaxing, he spent the day as the "greatest makkhi maar in the business."

The icon, who is an avid writer on his blog, wrote about his day off and said that his body needs to manoeuvre in “any more.”

“A day of rest and the entire system revolts... body needs mobility in any form... I tried today ... the greatest makkhi mar in the business... (sic),” he wrote as the caption.

“makkhi maar > makkhi maar, fly swapper in the business My love (sic).” he added.

The megastar then shared a picture of himself on X, formerly called Twitter, where he shared a light-hearted behind-the-scenes moment, holding up a bright orange fly swatter and looking at it intently.

“Relaxation! It's a waste of time! Swatting flies all day,” he wrote as the caption.

Amitabh’s message on his body revolting after a day of relaxation comes a day after he

The icon had written about the short break from the matches.

“.. respite from WC 2026 .. a 3 day break .. I need one too .. so short ans very sweet (sic),” Amitabh wrote.
