Amitabh Bachchan then wondered about the times he was living in and wrote, "The entire world on the same side of the seesaw." Before talking about the eerie silence of Ganesh Visarjan day, the actor also discussed how sports and other viewing materials had changed during the lockdown. Amitabh Bachchan mentioned how Premier League, UEFA, US OPEN, and other such sports events no longer had the energetic reaction noises of the audience. Instead, they had to fake the reactions using playbacks of past live audiences. 

The actor discussed how the lack of live reactions completely changed the feeling of the sport for both the players and the people watching on TV. Amitabh Bachchan then talked about how masks were making him a "bit weary", as they created uniformity and made it difficult to differentiate between people. The actor wrote, " The most important element in the human face is unrecognizable."

Meanwhile, on the work front, Amitabh Bachchan is set to feature in multiple upcoming movies including Brahmāstra, Chehre, and Jhund. Chehre was set to release in July but was delayed due to the lockdown. The movie will also star Emraan Hashmi as the secondary lead.
