Gen‑Z’s ‘Live‑Now’ Mantra Wins Amitabh Bachchan’s Approval

In a candid segment of the quiz show, Amitabh Bachchan praised the ‘live‑now’ philosophy of today’s Gen‑Z. He explained that this cohort does not wait for a perfect circumstance before feeling satisfied. Their strategy is to locate happiness wherever they are, whether in work, school or leisure.

The legendary actor emphasized that Gen‑Z treats life as an experience to be enjoyed, not a collection of goals to be ticked off. He encouraged audiences to adopt this perspective—accepting realities and nurturing contentment within them.

Bachchan also touched upon the evolving slang that defines contemporary conversations. He recounted the joke about “rocking,” meaning excelling, and the bewilderment over the phrase “killing it,” which to him sounds like a reference to death. These linguistic shifts, he suggested, illustrate the dynamic nature of culture.

Continuing his role as host of the 18th season, Bachchan says he relishes the chance to learn from the younger generation while sharing his own insights.
