# Amitabh Bachchan's Timeless Discipline: The Morning Gita Ritual That Built a Legend Imagine starting every day with the wisdom of the **Bhagavad Gita** and ending it by penning heartfelt letters to your parents— that's the ironclad discipline that powered Amitabh Bachchan's rise to Bollywood superstardom.[5] Veteran actor Ranjeet, who shared screen space with the Big B, recently peeled back the curtain on Bachchan's legendary routine from his early career days. Every morning, without fail, Bachchan would immerse himself in the **Bhagavad Gita**, drawing spiritual strength and focus to fuel his demanding schedule.[5] This wasn't a fleeting habit but a daily anchor that instilled unmatched discipline, helping him navigate the highs and lows of the industry. As Ranjeet revealed in an interview with the Times of India, Bachchan capped his evenings by writing letters to his parents, a touching ritual that kept him grounded amid fame's whirlwind.[5] This glimpse into Bachchan's past aligns seamlessly with his enduring fitness philosophy today, even at 83. His mornings still kick off with **pranayama** (deep breathing exercises), yoga stretches, and mobility work, as shared by wellness trainers Vrindaa Mehta and Shivohaam.[1][3] He prioritizes constant movement—walking every 20 minutes on set or at home—to boost circulation and flexibility.[1][2] Meals are simple and clean: fruits, almonds, dates, gooseberry juice, veggies, chapatis, and lentils, with non-veg and sugars largely off the menu for optimal digestion and heart health.[1][3] Sleep gets top billing with 8-9 hours nightly, paired with no alcohol or caffeine, proving his commitment to holistic well-being.[2]
