Amitabh Bachchan said that the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown has taught him things he could not learn or understand all these years.

With age comes wisdom and knowledge, but for Amitabh Bachchan, the lockdown has been a better teacher than all the years of his existence. In a new Instagram post, he said that the lockdown amid the global coronavirus pandemic taught him things that he was ‘unable to learn, understand and know’ all this while.

Sharing a collage of two pictures - one from his younger days and a recent one, Amitabh wrote, “What I was able to learn, understand and know during the period of this Lockdown , I was unable to learn, understand and know, during my entire 78 years .. and to be able to express this truth , is the result of this learning, understanding and knowing !!”
