With rising stress levels in today's day and age, laughter seems to be the only way to combat it, feels megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

The 71-year-old took to his blog to talk about the importance of laughter and how it often `liberates` people.

`Laughter is indeed the food of love...of the removal of stress and the expression of one that may have been oppressed, now liberated,` Bachchan posted on srbachchan.tumblr.com Thursday night.

The actor is busy shooting for his film `Bhootnath Returns` and other endorsements.
