Amitabh Bachchan seemed to be in a whimsical mood on Saturday morning as he took to his social media to share his views on the impending year-end. He posted a funny thought about how there are only a few days left for the year to end. Amitabh Bachchan's year-end tweet was a funny one as the veteran actor claimed that it won't be a big change as there's only a difference of 'unnees-bees' (19-20).

Take a look at his tweet:

'Unnees-bees ka fark' translates to 'a difference of 19 & 20' and can be seen in the tweet as a popular Hindi language idiom which means that there's not much of a difference. The Cheeni Kum actor feels that there's nothing to worry about as the year '19 changes to '20 in the next few days because there will not be much difference between the two. Amitabh Bachchan had been down with fever earlier this week due to which he could not attend the National Awards conferring ceremony at New Delhi on Monday.
