Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to try his luck at cards this Diwali as he plans to play 'teen patti'.

"In keeping with tradition, cards shall be played as a 'shagun' and winnings and loss at them shall be taken as an indicator how well, or not so well the year shall be financially, " he posted on his blog.

The 68-year-old rues that he loses the game frequently.

"I lose most of the time, so my funds and financing are always on trial throughout the day and year, " he added.
