Amitabh Bachchan on criticism
Amitabh, who will be turning 81 this year in October, took to his personal blog and wrote, “Now with age the ridicule has lessened… now with time, they that are asked or are brought into the picture by me, are convinced that the man is 81, old, decrepit and mental, bear him… it shan’t be for long… and the responses go on with a sense of… poor guy, so uninformed, let him be etc. etc. etc…” He added, “Also the temerity to seek and voice matters that may never have been done earlier have reached the stage of a fearless disposition.”
Amitabh Bachchan on reflection
The actor also went on to share that he has been spending some time in ‘reflection.’ He wrote, “So… a few days off .. and the days spent in reflection, rejuvenation… not of the age kind but to gain the knowledge of what goes on inside the world of reflection.. smart yes. Yes… It is, or rather are the reflection days… a wonder why certain ‘givens’ were given, why certain doings were being done… why a name an act an act… and so many other ‘whys’…”
