Amitabh Bachchan Laments Being Constantly Criticised: 'They Tell Me Not To Talk'
Last Updated: Amitabh Bachchan expressed frustration over constant criticism on his blog. Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan has shared that he often faces criticism just for speaking his thoughts or even his signature. The Bollywood legend said people tell him not to talk, which has left him feeling hurt and confused. In a cryptic note on his blog, Big B expressed his frustration over constant criticism. Big B took to his blog and wrote, 'And they tell me to change my signature .. to not put dots in it .. to not put curved lines .. to wear this to wear that .. to not visit here or there .. to not talk here, to not talk there .. when you talk they say why do you talk .. when you do not talk they say why you do not talk." He shared a few lines from his late legendary father Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poetry and wrote, 'I may be carefree for myself; but I care for all. I know that there is no value within me; but even then I keep a valued relationship, a propinquity, with some." 'I have learnt how to live life, from the seas and oceans; to flow quietly and to exist in your own ardor your own avidity and zest The learnings from Babuji, my revered Father .. an eternal gift for my living and learning .. my gratitude and my affection." Speaking about India overtaking Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy, he said, 'And as I said on the X .. we become the 4rth largest economy in the World, beating Japan…. and in another 2.5 to 3 yrs shall become the 3rd largest economy in the World!!" Big B added, 'What an Incredible achievement for a Country that became Independent just 75 yrs + ago. How many other nations that got Independent 75 yrs back, have attained this kind of achievement." In the same blog, Big B also praised the courage of the Agniveers — the young soldiers serving under India's Agnipath scheme. 'What of the AgniVeers… the young fighters who protected us during the recent attack on our land," he wrote. He described them as disciplined, patriotic, and full of courage and commitment. 'These soldiers serve for four years, gaining vital military experience. Agniveers represent a bold step in modernizing India's defense forces with youth, energy, and nationalistic spirit at their core," he concluded. First Published:
