The flow of messages continues unabated and as someone on the blog has said i need to employ people to help me or else fear the loss of my fingers..!!
But thank you for this love and affection and some immensely emotional bondings that i have read and continue reading. It is a huge task to respond to each and everyone, which i am certain all coming on the Blog realize, but if i can make a few references, i do hope the others will understand. Hopefully their turn will also come.
The status on ‘Shantaram’ is asked. Mira Nair came and met me and set up everything, took my dates and time, discussed the look and the character, but wrote an email soon after that due to the Writers Strike in Hollywood, the project has to be postponed. She had shown my films to Johnny Depp, who has said some very complimentary things about me in his interviews. But that is all. I have not heard since from Mira.
Naresh Agarwal from Singapore did a huge page and description of his links with my films and my issues and i thank him for his views and his strong support.
Satyam’s review on “Sarkar’ was very sincere and most discerning. Very few have been able to catch this aspect of RGV’s film making - his complete liberty in capturing the close ups of artists. In Sarkar Raj, whose unveiling takes place tomorrow at JW Marriot, there is more of his desire to allow actors to perform in the freedom of close ups.
There are fans who remember my father, DR Harvansh Rai Bachchan and his poetry. I shall soon be able to dedicate an entire chapter on some of his works. But would wait for the website being prepared to be able to do justice to his enormous volume of work.
Divya wants me to work in a Telegu film. I shall try, though i do not have a hold on the language. I did speak a few lines in’ Lawaaris’ in Telegu though.
Arundhati, i acknowledge my being your ‘jamai babu’, since Jaya is a Bengali. I love that term.
Sreeram raised a pertinent point. Did i chose Jaya because she had the qualities of a strong woman much like my mother. I think, men when they look for a life partner quite naturally want a woman close in nature and stlye to their own mothers. And perhaps the same for women too when they chose their mate, a reflection of their own father is sought.
Dq, feels that the Blog is an ocean of messages and she will not be noticed - well she just did.
Thank you Pinky - you saw Cheeni Kum 15 times !! and Nishabd 5 times !! media critics will not want to digest this. Though i feel Nishabd was one of my most challenging roles. It is another matter that many equated the persona with the reel character and disliked the persona !!
SSMS complimented me for working in donating for those affected in the Gujarat earthquake, but questioned how much i donated to Muslims killed and raped in Gujarat violence. I appreciate your sentiment. No amount of material good can overcome a human life or its disgrace. Violence is not the answer to violence and it is unfortunate and should never happen. When we collect funds generally we give it to a Govt., or a body for its useful distribution. I do personal charity, but i do not want to talk about it. I would rather do it and quietly. So let me say this honestly. Yes i have done the required charity, but i find it demeaning to my intent to describe it.
There are fans from New Zealand - Veerana and from Afghanistan - Waheed and his reference to my visit to his country for the shooting of Khuda Gawah. Some day i shall elaborate on this trip of mine which was one of my most exciting visits.
Hitesh Patel wonders if his mail will ever be read..
A lot of the messages contain millions of ?????????, such images. I am presuming that they have written in the devnagri hindi script and my computer is not being able to decipher it.
Rushi has asked me call on her cell and put her number down too - not a wise thing to do Rushi !!
Saurabh Tankha, from Pioneer wants an email interview - sure, contact my office and it will be organised.
There are 54 pages of messages till the last count. A lot of work. But i am making the effort to try and give back as much as i can get.
Last night as i scrolled through the channels on TV, i came across Headlines Today, under their Entertainment programme giving a report on my Blog and its formation. I want to thank them for their generosity in providing me and my Blog the much required publicity of its existence. Though i found their comments laced most subtely with sarcasm ! They gave their reason for my Blog as an escape from ‘political attacks’ on me. Thats laughable. For a non politician it does not qualify me for political attack. Politicians may take my name, as i said earlier, but that does not include me into their profession and most certainly does not coerce me to start a Blog in order to shield any attack. They would gain nothing from it. Its an exercise in futility.
The report on Headlines Today ended with the comment ” well, he will have to learn to write now”
I am admittedly not as literate as the journalist community and certainly do not possess the ability required in their profession, but i do respond at times and for those on the Blog that may care to read i am ‘posting’ a few responses that i made last year, over an article that came out in the ‘OUTLOOK magazine. The article was heavily critical of and about the marriage procedures of Abhishek and Aishwarya and about my attitude towards various factors unacceptable to society in general and to some prominent thinkers and men of letters in particular.
I shall be happy to learn from readers what they thought of the accusations and of course my response to them.
With love and more..much more

My Dear Amitabhji,
Eventhough I never met you and you don’t know me, I still feel you are part of my life and you are like my family member. I am from Hyderabad and you and your roles are great inspiration to me.
Whenever there are sad times I keep remembering your roles and get inspired. When you face any problems in your life I feel somebody in my family is having problems and I get disturbed.
My father is of your age and he is a writer like your father and won many awards in Telugu literature including central sahitya academy award. He likes Satyajit Ray very much.
I want to talk/chat with you on many many things as I had followed your life very closely over the years and I know you better than most !!
I like alomost all your movies upto Khuda Gawah. Among the films which came after Khuda Gawah , I liked Bagban, Black and Sarkar. Your acting in Bagban was perfect to say the least.
I will be the happiest man in the universe if I get a reply from you.
Warm Regards,
Satish

Sir,
It is so overwhelming that the words I am typing here would actually be seen by your eyes. I often wonder if you realise the magnitude of the aura that you have created around you. Or perhaps it must be boring and acutely repetitive.
Well one question I haven’t seen often been addressed to you is your choice of unconventional movies. Nishabd and Cheeni Kum very recently. Sir, these movies indeed change the contours of Indian cinema. In my personal opinion, Black was the most striking movie ever made in India.
Is it however true that you had ‘apologised’ for your performance in Boom? Sir, I think you were mind blowing in that character. I was also mature enough to probably dilineate the screen character from your real character. Sir, do you think its unfair that the juvenility of our society raises such questions on an artists’ creative independence?

Dear Amitji,
I am a father of an 8 year old autistic child who does not speak and understand like Raniji in BLACK. You played a very convincing charachter in a well written movie. I have prayed to God to give me courage to be a good father and a good teacher for my daughter!!
You are senior person and have seen life more than me. I would like to seek your’s and Jaya ji’s blessing…

Hello Sir,
I am very Big fan of yours and have watched all of your movies starting from SAAT HINDUSTANI to NISHABD. I am going to watch your forthcoming BHOOTNATH. You are really amazing personality. A true son of a very versatile personality. You have god gifted talent from BABUJI Dr. Shri Harivansh rai Bachchanji. I have read his MADHUSHALA…..amazing masterpeice.I know that you cant be compared to BABUJI…as he was a famous personality in his own field and he has such a marvelous son like you. I do have his Black n White snap along with Nehruji. My wishes with you all the time. I pray to god to make you grandfather soon….so baby boy will get all the heridatory characters which Abhishek owns from you and you won from BABUJI. Love you lot sir. Thanks for starting this blog.

Dear Big B,
It’s fantastic to see you are writing to all of us. And it’s unbelievable that I am writing to the Megastar of India cinema Mr Big B. wow!!! my heart is biting faster.
By the way I was just reading your last post and saw your new post just popped up. It’s eight in the evening here, so it’s quite late in India. You keep writing so late? till midnight?
God bless you.

Dear sir,
You have very good writing skills, and it is best if a highly educated person like you avoids watching channels like “Aaj Tak”, and “Headlines Today”, which are nothing but a mockery of the news. Admittedly, all of us do like to read a bit; and know a bit about film stars, but a news channel is hardly the appropriate forum to expect such things.
I actually came across your blog from a link in orkut, and believe me, I am very impressed with your writing skills, and your ability to respond to so many people;despite a hectic schedule.
Leaving your personal life aside, I would like to compliment you on the quality of work you are able to undertake and yet deliver; even at you age. There are only two people of the modern generation who are truely inspirational. One is you, and one is Saurav Ganguly; for both of your perserverence and dedication in fighting all odds and yet emerging triumphant.
We run a community on Orkut which encourages and helps forge friendships between Indians and Pakistanis, by promoting meaningful discussions and possible solutions to problems. It is but a small step, in a much larger goal. Do visit the link if you get an opportunity.

Its awe-inspiring to read posts written by no less than AB, but what I really cant stop marvelling at is this medium that has brought you so close to us! All of us are used to hearing about you, other stars and celebs through an intermediary - a reporter, journalist, a TV channel or an interviewer…reading hand-me-down accounts that have gone through varying levels of twisting, sensationalism, misinterpretation - and this is so refreshing.
I saw your post yesterday, referred by my mom who is is reading ‘in the afternoon of time’ and lately not a day passes without us discussing some episode from the book. I believe that what makes a man is how he perceives the world and responds to it. And in this blog i hope to read a lot about your experiences, perceptions, thoughts and opinions.I can tell you that this blog will be cherished!

Dear Amitabh,
It’s a ‘WOW’ feeling for me to write to you and it makes me forget the grey weather of Bournemouth.
Your fans have written so much about you, it makes me wonder where to start.
One thing that strike me after reading your blog is that you are revealing your private life. A word of caution, please ensure that your blog does not disclose you and your family activities (e.g who is doing what, where etc..). Blog medium is good as long as it’s used for sharing thoughts and viewpoints only!
I agree, replying so many comments is indeed a difficult and probably impractical for a single person. Not , an important icon like you. We have to probably wait for few more year until the technology would be able to cater mind and computer direct communication without any physical intervention :).
Ha! one more thing – Don’t know if your like reading
Good reading stuff – A new book has come in the market, Name: ‘Cold Steel: ‘The Multi-Billion Dollar Battle For A Global Empire’. This is related to Mittal’s Arcelor 2006 deal. I just read the reviews- It’s a thriller worth reading.
That’s all for now.
Have a nice day!
Yours Truly,
Manish.

Respected Dear Amit ji,
It is God’s blessings that we’ve got this opportunity to interact with you. I adore you from the bottomof my heart right from my childhood. My grandfather and my daddy have been great admirers who praised Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan and teach me the essence of life ‘Madhushala’ a masterpiece. how do i start and from where should i start to express my feelings about the divine sacred soul in you, perfection personified, a person who is the God of millions, has infinite good qualities and is essentially a good human being still down to earth. I pray to God to shower his choisest blessings on you and bless you and your family with health, wealth, peace and prosperity.

Mohatram Amitabh sahab,
Main ye chahta hoon, ki is forum main hissa lene wale sab hi log, aapse bohot kuch seekhein, jismein aapke akhlaq, adarsh, principles, insaniyat, vichar, aur her qism ke achay alfaz jo main aapke liye istemal ker sakta hoon, woh sab hi.
ye to mumkin nahi ki her insaan shohrat main AMITABH jitna ho jaaye, lekin ye mushkil nahi hai ki hum sab aapke jaise achi baatein, aur aadatein ikhteyar ker lein.
Dilip Kumar sahab se aik interview main poocha gaya tha ki DILIP KUMAR icon hai ya YUSUF KHAN, JO jawab unhone diya tha, mera khayal hai , woh aapke liye aur hum sabkeliye bohot fayedemand hoga, ager hum sab apni soch is tarah bana lein, unka jawab tha, ” ki YUSUF aik haqeeqat hai aur DILIP uska saaya hai, shaam jaise jaise berhti jaati hai, saaya lamba hota jaata hai, lekin asal insaan apni jagah , mojood hi rehta”.(quite much philosophical).
aisi hi baatein , aur ettiquettes aapke bhi hain, ager hum sab log hi isko follow kerna chahein to kam se kam itna revolution to zaroor aa sakta hai ki duniya main nahi to , hamari zindagiyon ke ander peace , sukoon aur shaanti aa sakti hai.
Aik request aapse ye bhi kerni hai Sir, ki ager is forum main hum sab english ke saath saath apni hindustani zabano ka bhi istemal karein to yaqeenan , ye bhi hum sab keliye izzat ki baat hogi, english duniya ki behetreen zabano main se aik hai, lekin ager humne sirf english ko hi behetreen maan liya, to woh waqt door nahi hoga, ki hamari zabanein, aur unmein likhi hui kitaabein, humko hindustan main nahi, balki kisi european country ke museum milegi, ya sothbey’s walon ke auction main.

BIG B,
it is an overwhelming thing to see that someone of your stature is actually taking out time to blog to increase interaction with fans and comment on issues that are blown out of proportion for the simple reason that you r a public figure and chose not to react to “inconsequintal gossip”.
but the fact remains that u r one of the finest actors of our country and wil continue being a legend for years to come and ur actions speak much more than words can!!!u seriously rock!!!i knw dis wont make a difference to u if i say it but still….let people talk…no matter how much they talk they cant change the fact that u and only u r AMITABH BACHHAN!!!!
jus being a little curious n asking….if it is actually you yourself who is sitting at past 12.30 in the night n putting up all d material or if somebody else does the technical bit for u.
wish u great day tomorrow at the launch party of ur movie sarkar and its time caught up on some sleep.

Sir
You are, undoubtedly, the best ever - be it an actor, human being, son, or any role in the social strata. And only an ignorant fool or an attention-hungry idiot can keep on talking or writing about you with sarcasm or a negative attitude.
I am delighted to read whatever you have written on your blog. Phew !! At last I, a fan of yours since Anand happened, has an opportunity to write a couple of lines to the great man himself.
What else can I say? You’re a legend - keep up the good work - you influence millions in a very positive manner, despite the godforsaken crazy things said about you.

Hello Mr.Bachchan,
just wondering if you had read my mail. We love you in Toronto and can’t wait until you arrive for the concert. Just wanted to let you know that my cousin (Sohan) had a BYOB party (Bring your own Bachchan) in toronto in January 2008.
Wanted to share some of the pictures with you as it was a really great evening. We had people dressed up from your movie suhaag, Amar Akbar Anthony, Laawaris, Naseeb. It was truly amazing. Dev from Ethnic Guru was also at the party. I actually had your suhaag shirt made (the akara barasa ki tu one) it looked really cool. Can I post pics on this page somehow. We had a great turnout and may have a second round shortly.
Also, my daughter who is 4 (Rene) say’s hi.
Can you answer a question for me - Is there really an old movie with you and Shatrugan Sinha releasing soon. I heard it was shot 35 years ago?
take care

Dear Amit ji,
It is nice to see that you are really reading and replying to the people out the who are posting their views on your blog. Infact this is very good attitude to be a blogger who always try to keep in touch with the visitors.
Being a regular blogger, if any information or help over wordpress is required, I am always here to help out. I know BigAdda people must have good number of programmers out there to help you out but sometimes an unknown* person can be a big help as sometimes BIG programmers also can’t find the required stuff….
I also want to quote over the upcoming movie Sarkar - 2. I have read a review today on some website where some info was given. Its good to see that the second part of such a movie is coming. As per the review the movie will run around Abhishek as you are going to handover powes to him in the movie and it will be great to see how he is going to handle the level of perfection given from your side into the movie.
Also sometimes I think that as remake of Don came but with SRK it will be great to see a movie in which you were there in old version, but Abhishek in new version say something like “Chupke Chupke” movie.
Chupke Chupke is the 1st movie which I have seen around 100+ times and still when it is aired on TV I watch it with full interest. The song “Sa Re Ga Ma” picturised on you and Dharam ji was TOO GOOD. Even now when I listen to it, a lightness in the environment is felt.
Another good shot from your side which I still remember and will never miss to see is “Ajooba”. I Don’t know why but I loved the movie like anything.
Anyways the list will never come to an end.
Will keep on replying on your posts.
Regards
Anurag

As I said Amit Ji, the lines to write will never come to an end…
I just re-read the article “Day 3″ and want to quote over few of them….
1. You wrote about the charity work done by you and the question raised. Just one thing I want to say “Who do they think to ask you what you are spending for charity”? Any person who is not hungry for publicity will never tell in general public that he/she want or donated something! I remember few days back you called up a Channel on which a story of Ill child was aired and donated money for the ailment. People don’t remember such things but keep on asking questions based on race! Wow this is really bad to see people asking how much you donted for “MUSLIMS”. Hey why? Why can’t they ask “DONATED FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE KILLED NO MATTER WHO WERE THEY” anyways everyone have SENTIMENTS.
About the stuff shown over media about your attitude at the time of marriage of Abhi and Aish was ridiculous. Who gave them right to comment on your personal matters? I know people love to know abut BRIGHT STARS but they have their personal life and commenting on how they live their personal life and how they celebrate their happiness is not good at all.
I must say that media should now learn their responsibilty properly and should come out of Masala a bit and should concentrate on issues like global warming and pollution! Afterall these topics also have some masala in them!
Will remain in touch and Sir it really a good feeling to know YES AMIT JI READING MY COMMENTS!!!
Long live, live happily always….
Looking forward to see some words on Madhushala soon…

How lovely to be able to address you directly … I’ve been a fan for years of your movies, beginning when my husband died of complications of Alzheimer’s in 2003 and I had lots of time on my hands, having taken care of him at home until his death. When you lose a spouse you’ve cared for, you lose your job as well, and filling in the time became a problem. Someone told me to sign on to Netflix, which I did. After I’d gone through French, Italian, British and other foreign films, I stumbled upon a Hindi film of yours … “Sharaabi” … which I loved so much I bought it. It’s still one of my favorites. It led me to dozens of other Hindi movies. I met two wonderful Indian women in my area of Maine who came to my house and translated the songs for me, which was a joy. I moved to Hawaii recently and am enjoying showing your movies to others (I have quite a collection now). Exposing them to the Indian movie industry, and therefore to India, has been a great pleasure. Some day I hope to visit India again. I was there once in 1962 (when you were VERY young), and was intrigued by the country and its status in the world. I think you are doing great things for your country, and it always makes me proud of you and for you. India needs more like you, who are understanding not only of your own country but those you visit. I’m looking forward to “Shantaram,” by the way, when it finally gets made. Aloha!

Dear Mr. Bachchan
I am an Indian student at present studying in USA in University of Wisconsin Madison. I came to know about your blogs yesterday and I have gone through all of them more thoroughly than my textbooks. I have seen almost all of your films till now
(Waise Chota Muh aur badi baat) Although I am 8 years younger than your son and you may find my words as “childish” . I think the quality of your films which you did after Kaun Banega Karorpati is much better than what you did in your career before that. The kind of films like Black, Baghban, Nishabd, Chini Kum etc. were penned keeping you in mind as a central charachter, in my opinion these films are fair display of your talent Well thats my opinion , other may not agree with me .
I know that you are an extreamly busy person and if you chose not to reply to this comment , I very well understand your time constraint . Probably you are already aware of my name as I left a comment on your blog (*which was deleted) . I used Devangiri script to type my letter to you in Hindi. As you have already mentioned that your computer cannot display Hindi Script , I believe it must be a Mac (Apple brand device). To be frank I would love to see your posts in Hindi, and if you want then I can help you setting your device for hindi compatibility.

The responses to Outlook were excellent. I should only add a word of caution here. To the extent that the media routinely engages in very unfair coverage of you or your family these responses are a good start but on their own these won’t be enough to ’shame’ the media and all those vested interests who candidly use the media to engage in their own set of polemics against you. In other words the media is not engaging in ’sincere’ criticism most of the time when it comes to you but ideologically tinged ‘programs’. The assumptions of such a narrative must be questioned and rebutted. I think your various responses here do all of this. I admire many of the textual strategies you use as well. However I have also been concerned for a very long time about the environment in which such ‘unfairness’ comes about. I can for example quote media outlets that publish ridiculously negative stuff on anything with the ‘Bachchan’ name attached to it (even if things have been better in recent times to some degree) with impunity. These matters have to be addressed in the most forceful fashion. This is what I mean when I state that these are outstanding responses but will not necessarily ’shame’ anyone into not doing more of the same. The threat of a lawsuit might! There are grounds for libel in many of these pieces. leaving this aside there’s something far more basic that can be done. A media outlet that is not engaged in constructive criticism but only in character assassination should really not be granted the privilege of an interview with anyone in your household. This will get the job done rather easily. Outlook is a different sort of animal but the film media (as I’m sure you can testify to far better than myself) in Bombay is really an arm or extension of the industry. The film media is complicit in various kinds of propaganda and so forth and even downright corrupt in many instances. This applies to the co called ‘trade media’ as well. The examples would be too many to even begin documenting. In any case the point here is that this is not just negative criticism in the media but also programmatic criticism directed towards you and your family, often for ideological reasons. I think this should be dealt with far more firmly.

Hi,
I dont know how one should manage these media people. But general public like me listen whatever they tell us on television or newspaper, magazine. And I donot hesitate to accept that sometimes we trust them blindly. But above outlook responses helped me to clear all the misunderstandings. God knows when these media people will be more transparent. I liked your views, thoughts and though I am not big fan of yours, but surely now I have respect for you.

amitji, replying to each is not practical and having such expectation is unreasonable. we r just content that you are taking time and connecting with us.
what u r doing is absolutely wise, what the rest, including the so called politicians think is unimportant. dimaag ka istimal is important but insaan ko apne ‘zameer’ ko kabhi nahin bhoolna chahiye. ultimately we r answerable to ourselves not to any second person. and by ourself i mean our conscience.
life is simple, don’t complicate it.

Well Sir
I forgot to ask you a few things in my previous comment ( I am still awestruck being having a chance to communicate to you personally).
I watch Indian Laughter Challenge quite regularly , some of the comedians performing there when for the sake of satire, very often cross the limits of decency, While making fun of you or other film personalities . Do you take notice of them ? If yes why dont you ask the producers of such a program to be less vitriolic in the content which is being aired ? or take legal action on them ?
I visited Bombay in July 2007 and was walking around Juhu with my elder brother and went past by your both of your bungalows . I walked past by in an anticipation of catching a glimpse of you but instead had to look at the Bombay Police guards at your house. In future if I happen to come to Bombay , do I stand any probability of meeting you ? My home town is Indore ( M.P.) , If you by any chance come to Indore , can you come to my place for lunch/dinner/Tea ? I may not have a big house to welcome you , I promise that I will do best to my abilities as a host .

Would you like to express your views on the Hindi Film Music ? I find that although the Sound Recording Quality has improved greatly but the real core of a song, Lyrics and Music are nothing as compared to what it used to be till 1980’s.
Is this deterioration due to the lack of high quality Hindi/Urdu Poet(ry) ? I know that your father was a great poet. Do you plan to use more of his poems as musical compositions ( like in “rang barse” in Silsila) ??
Do you plan to write a few poems by yourself ? Because its in our Indian Blood that son follows father’s footsteps , and you have been with great litereature gineus like your father and your father-in-law ( I read somewhere that you father in law wrote a book titled “Abhishapt Chambal” and Mr Amjad Khan modelled his role as Gabbar Singh in sholay after reading this book . )
One of the old resident in my hometown told me that your wife Mrs. Jaya Bachchan lived for some time in Indore (MP) , is it true ???
In hopes of your reply

Mr. Bachchan,
It’s true that RGV effectively uses close ups in his filming style. It is one of the many things I enjoy about Sarkar. I’m very encouraged by you stating that RGV has continued on this path for Sarkar Raj as I feel this really works well with the mafia-political theme of Sarkar Raj. Can’t wait to see the promos for Sarkar Raj.
I hope Abhishek will have time to actively help promote for Sarkar Raj as he will need to be active in promotions for all of his films this year.
Great going with your numerous responses to Outlook Magazine. I also felt is was very unfair and horrible how they attacked Abhishek and Aishwarya with their nonsense claims(stories) during their engagement, wedding, and marriage. It’s a shame that people and the media can’t seem to want to see other people in the world find love and happiness together.
As far as your charity work goes it is up to you do what what you feel like doing for society. There is no need to brag, blown your own horn, or have to justify any of it. Just the fact that you are giving back to society is enough.
Good luck with the Sarkar Raj launch. Also give Abhishek and Aishwarya my best wishes for their 1st year wedding anniversary. May they have many more years of happiness and love to come.

hello Amitji, It’s so nice to “hear” from you, very authentic, unedited and straight from heart. It’s a great feeling to be able to read actor’s mind and not the ghise-pite dialogues they speak on screen. I have read your resposes to OUTLOOK magazine and I think they were a perfect answer to paparazzi business growing like mushrooms these days. Under the name of “democracy”, media seldom respects privacy of celebraties. It’s unfortunate but “sellable”. I think if your responses caused those writers understand the real cause of journalism, their sins will be forgotten by God. Yes, Aishwarya-Abhishek makes a great pair and their friendship, courtship, marriage indeed caused a lot of stir. What can you expect when Ms. World marries Most eligible bacholare and vise-a-versa. What media really desires is 24*7 video screening of actors, shame indeed!
well, keep writing and God bless you! You made Hindi films very enjoyable and lovable. I actaully grew up watching you on screen and finally being able to write to you is a great great pleasure!! No matter what paparazzi thinks of you and your family; your fans still understand that you are a “normal” human-being behind the screen. Hope you enjoy writting to us as much as we do reading you.
Love,
Veena

Mr. Bachchan,
I have grown up watching your films and have watched your towering (pun intended) personality shaping our world. You probably have no memeory of it but we were at the same hotel with you in London last summer (51 Buckhingham Gate). Seeing you there turned me , a mother of two and an English Professor into a gawky person who was speechless and totally dumbstruck at seeing you there. You were extremely gracious and inspite of being a superstar you were elegant and not one bit snobbish and that has become etched in my memory forever. My husband and my daughters were equally dazzled by your charm. We did meet you two days in a row and were amazed by the way you and Abhishek “chatted” us up!!!
We have been out of the country for several years and our only connection to the Indian world is the various news channels etc. My only question for you is how and when did the Indian media become so malicious and sleazy and does it affect you in a personal way since we all have the human heart. The millions who admire your movies and your class are constantly apalled by this affront to your dignity.
As a post note I do want to add that I did not see Nishabd since I do have a young daughter and it would be hard for me to objective and esp if the “character” was played by you. Must you challenge yourself or can you honesly accept that as a poor choice.
Just to share on a personal note- a common quote in our household is “koshish zaroor karna, kyonki vaade toot jaate hain par koshish kamyaab hoti hai…
Will wait for your response. I will be thrilled if you say you do remember us…I go to London every summer with a secret desire of that chance encounter again…
Your true admirer

Wow, you are really answering all the mails.
Its amazing-a dream come true…to be able to just write to you.
I really mean this-you and Jaya aunty should hold workshops on raising up children.
I was in Modern School, Delhi when Shweta and Abhishek were studying there and I have interacted with Shweta and I used to be amazed at her simplicity….no tantrums and hang ups which one would expect…
We just started a small Gurukul in China-our aim is to connect the Indian children born and brought up overseas - with their roots by bringing them closer to their country.
They don’t know too much about Indian movies etc but ALL of them know about you. They want to meet you. Do you have any plans of visiting Beijing?
I want to extend the request on behalf of the Gurukul children-We want to meet you.

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
It fills my heart with unspeakable joy that we now have a forum where we could communicate with a legend, a wonderful actor and perhaps an even greater human being. I do watch your films very closely but am curious to learn from you the different aspects and experiences of your life.
It takes humongous amount of courage to leave a well paid job (which I presume you had if media is to be believed) and try to succeed in an industry which was then (1968) perhaps disorganized with very low probability (possibly zero) of succeeding? Was it “Self belief†or do you attribute it to “destiny�
How do you battle stress, anxiety, fear of failure and stage fright? I do firmly believe, no matter how talented or skillful you may be, every individual goes through these phases?
Finally, You have close proximity to some of the most influential people in this world. what is the one trait that according to you all successful men have?
Some of these questions are pretty loaded and will need time from you to be elaborated? Is it possible to be short in your replies to begin with and perhaps elaborate later when you have the time? Please do reply. Your short answers will shape up a few hundred lives for the better. I do realize your busy schedule and thank you immensely for your time. I humbly request, once again, to put forward your views on these questions.
Thank you and with very warm regards

Respected Amitabhji,
Inspired by this profound literature, a painting has emerged through my hands which also reflects on some of your significant contribution to the holistic development of mankind- integrating these two different but very closely related unfathomable subjects. I am waiting for the day when I would get an opportunity to present it to you….
I have been trying hard to contact you since last so many years, wrote several emails and spoke to Rosy Singh many times. But…
Since my childhood, I have been always taking inspiration from your roles and your social work. Since then, I have been trying to address to social issues through my paintings. Like you, I also wish to contribute something to the development of our country and I have chosen a sector – Urban Development.
I work as an Architect and Urban Designer with UK’s top organisation and we specialize in creating ’sustainable, eco friendly human settlements’ those create very minimal impact on our planet. I greatly appreciate your efforts taken in ‘Climate Change Campaign’ and would be very happy to contribute in that and share some of my international knowledge / experience with you that I have gained till date. Thoughtlessly created manmade built environments contribute significantly in Global Warming. As India is urbanizing very rapidly and poised for major transformations, it’s a need of an hour to ’shape’ our country’s growth to create sustainable, cohesive and balanced communities.
While working on world’s one of the most advanced cities, London, I closely study and work on Environmental and Urban Design Policies those are designed and implemented to create world’s best ‘climate responsive human settlements’ integrating with local resources and ecology. I am very keen to contribute in India’s holistic socio economic and urban development and I have already started created awareness in Indian society by writing in National, regional and local media/ publications. In the near future I would like to come back and start my own Urban Design practice in Mumbai.
India is poised…
My father has been working for the development of polio affected people by teaching Art to them. Even though he has polio to his left leg, he is successful and renowned Artist in Maharashtra. Also would like to share his work with you…
I am waiting for that day when I would meet you….
Kind regards

Hello Sir,
This is a very kind gesture from you for reading out all those nonsense written in the comments/messages and even responding to a few of them. You have once again proved that you are THE ONE. Your blog I guess doesn’t need publicity from those so called, self-proclaimed citizens for a better society, the media, or someone else. Just your worldwide fan base is enough to take care of the proceedings.
I have read your responses to the OUTLOOK which I feel are more emotional, intentional than spontaneous. You have done your duty as the head of the family by defending your kids. I appreciate that. But these people will just keep barking and we shouldn’t get disturbed by their histronics. Just keep doing your work sincerely Sir, the world will be on your side. Signing off for today.

Good Morning,
I absolutely agree with each of the replies you’ve written to these journalists. I think its quiet sickening to see that people will stoop to any level to get publicity or to sell headlines. One should put them in your shoes and put their whole life, filled with lies and rubbish and print it on the front page. Then we shall see how they will react.
Like you said, it is not necessary to clarify each and every rumor that is written about or rubbish that they want the fans to believe. I believe true fans will know what the truth is and what isn’t. I’ve been a fan of you since I knew what movies were, as I said earlier in the comments on previous posts that my family is a huge fan of yours and watching your movies is like eating.
There was so much rubbish written about the reasons why everyone from the industry wasn’t invited to the Abhi and Ash’s wedding, your fall-down with Shahrukh and even Salman. I think Salman has clarified that he has absolutely no problem with you or Abhishek. All of you are mature adults and if something happens, I think you are old and mature enough to resolve the issue on your own. Why must media make such a big deal out of such petty issues.
I also think you did write by clarifying some of accusations against you and the family as it’s not just about you and Jayaji but also the pride of your family. What you do with your money, is your issue, it is not a public issue. You are here to entertain and you most certainly do that, I see no reason why I should or anyone else need to know why or what you spend your money on. I hope with you writing those responses back to these people, they will realize that all that rubbish that has been postes is nothing but rubbish.
Also, would like to thank you for acknowleding some of the fans, its great to know that you do read our responses. Would love to hear from you personally sometime.
Take care, lots of love to Abhi, Ash, Shewta, the bacha party and of course Jayaji.
God Bless

I has commented on your “Day2 Blog” but mine was 1667th comment I think so it got unnoticed. First a hearty welcome to you Amitab ji to the blogosphere. It feels great to see a celebrity to blog and reply the comments in personal. I have a serious doubt here. Is it your really or is it some of your PA doing all this writing? I mean is it you who is sitting and writing all the matter into the blog or you just say a few important lines to your typist or PA who builds up an entire article based on your points.
Let me be honest, I am not a fan of yours but my parents are big fans of yours. I (and many of my friends) feel that you mess up with emotional and funny roles. I liked one of your dialogue in a recent movie (dont remember the name sorry) in which you play a role of some Don. An youngster’s delivers a long angry dialogue to you and your reply is “Aur kitne log hain tere ghar me?”. Hope you remember that movie.
I have two questions for you. One is, I read one of your interviews and I liked your psychology. In fact I started liking you after reading that interview. You said, in that interview, that you used to observe people’s face expression in every occasion (even in someone’s death ceremony) and tried to bring out those emotions in your movies and that you hated yourself at times for doing that. Is it true?
The second question is How do you feel when you watch the movies of your younger days when you were so active and dynamic? I am sure you must be getting tears in your eyes. My request to you is please write more about your inner feelings during each of your big movies and how you feel when you watch them now. I really love reading your thoughts. Your psychology is different and you are a genuine elderly gentleman. Take care and keep blogging.

Hi Mr Bachchan,
Great to see you have been active since last four days, and taking out time from your extremely busy schedule, The Hindi film industry is very well know for plagiarism, I don’t want to mention the name of the recent controversy, Why is that many the industry lack original works?

My dear Amitji,
I am a great fan of yours. I met you on 18th October 2003 at Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai where you were the Chief Guest at the time of the visit of H.E. Thabo Mbeki, President of South Africa, to India. I was, then, based out of Johannesburg.
It was a great pleasure meeting you on that day and it is still lingering in my memory as a fresh air. Unfortunately, I did not bring in my camera and was deprived of getting myself photographed with you.
I have come back to India and presently am living in Delhi. I come very often to Mumbai on official tour. I would appreciate and be grateful if you could kindly allow me to meet you once at a time convenient to you and give me an opportunity to get myself photographed with you or whenever you come to Delhi, give me an opportunity to meet you in person.
I hope that this will be possible and look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards

So its 12:52 a.m here in Florida..I had planned to call Abhishek and Aishwarya at their hotel to wish them and knew exactly what to say to them (even though I knew I wouldnt be able to talk to them)but around 11:30, my sister told me something really really upsetting! She said that her friends went to their hotel and the people over there said that Abhishek and the others have moved to some other hotel because a lot of fans were coming and creating a lot of chaos which led them to change their location! :[ I am so upset..But its okay. I hope you’re reading this Mr. Amitabh
Pleaseee please please!! tell him that His BIGGEST fan wished him and Aishwarya a happy anniversary!! though I wrote a letter for them at the hotel..but I doubt they received it! but anyway, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Abhishek and Aishwarya and I wish them a long, happy and healthy life!
Im really sorry but thankful at the same time that you have to read my longg comments about your son..but I cant help it. I think Ive found the right place to express the love I have for him haha okay I sound like one of those kahani ghar ghar ki walay shows. Goodnight!

One more request… I had heared the “Madhushala” on the TV, which you yourself had sung in one of the functions recently. By any chance, can we get a copy of audio of the same?? Like me, many more would enjoy the madhushala straight from you…
Would expect your say on this desperatly…

Dear Sir,
Some day I really hope that an Amitabh flick would do 1000 crore business at the Box office worldwide.
Sir,other than an updated version of Shahenshah which could do wonders in animation,i feel the character of Anthony Gonsalves can also have an animated avtaar.
Dont you think the sequel of Bhootnath or your next flick Aladdin will be a bigger hit with kids if you can make it in 3D format.
With the use of modern technology,I hope we would someday see the release of Khabardaar as its theme of Euthanasia is a serious topic.Sir,when would we see the release of Zaamanath.Dont you think that for movies that get delayed for more than a decade it is better to have a satellite tv and vcd/dvd release than a theatrical one.

BigB has been a hero for so many of us and it pains me today to see him being maligned everyday by some people who are not even worthy of mention. It is so obvious that Big Wedding has not gone down too well with so many inside n outside the industry. Media seems to be affected the most and impact is so obvious; post-marriage positive news on BigB n family has died a forceful death. From farmer taunts to outsider label, from BigB n Abhi losing on brand endorsements to Aishwarya losing on movies, from Movies getting delayed/re-shot to unforgettable tour already tagged as forgettable, Our hero is thrown mud at by every obscure journalist n politician.
I wish u would have been more prudent Mr. Bachhan, u should have known that the whole country wanted to eat sweets at ur sons wedding especially media persons who have a bitter tooth to tell bitter lies till they get their due sweets. Couple of close pictures with wedded couple would have given media people a feel good n it would have made ur life so easy, but it was not to be. Public memory is short and they must have forgiven u by now for not getting media crews n cameras inside the wedding pandals and let them watch some real stuff. But Media people have a far healthier memory and power of 24×7. One predictable SKJ is not enough to fight this Juggernaut.So we will have to live with this onslaught for years to come or at least till Sarkar Raj/Boothnath hit the bull’s eye…but i have my apprehensions that even ur success will not be acknowledged n celebrated now..as it happened to ur victory in Supreme court
Give all this to any ordinary man n he will die. But you r no ordinary man, you r a man of honor and honesty..a born fighter n hero..today whole world seems to be holding ranks against u..it has been always the case though but this time its too bitter…and I know u will come out of it winning..bcz u r my hero and u have been doing it for ages..it must be easy for u..come on BigB..do it once more…we know you can do it..even if u don’t..I will stand by u..many will..

Dear Amitabh Ji,
I appreciate your time in writing such an excellent post to reply some individuals! This is Kashif Khundmiri of age 20, currently living in the United States and an active promoter of the peaceful relations between India and Pakistan through online forums such as Orkut and Facebook.
We are the India Pakistan Friendship Club (IPFC). We are a group of people committed to the cause of India Pakistan Friendship, an ever growing community of netizens, with real life extension and influence. Our online headquarters is represented by the website http://www.indo-pak.org and a set of communities on the social networking sites, the largest of which spans more than 100,000 members. Our active core team comprises more than 150 IPFCians (as we call each other).
We are determined to make a difference to India Pakistan relations because we believe that the chemistry of relations between India and Pakistan shall be one of the important factors that will shape the lives of more than a billion people of the subcontinent in the 21st century. It is the common people who stand to bear the greatest brunt of any further mishaps that may occur on this front. Hence, we believe that this important issue can be tackled best only when the people themselves become a part of this effort to ensure a bright future for themselves and their coming generations. We, the IPFC, are a forum for achieving people to people contact and friendship on a revolutionary scale, thus giving ourselves, the citizens, the power to make a difference to our future.
We are at a nascent stage and our future plans are to launch a sub-continent wide NGO and hence we require your help.
My Primary reason to contact you is to ask you for an e-mail interview to be published in our own IPFC Magazine which was started in January 2008. The Magazine is only web based as of now. The first issue can be read online for free of cost at http://www.indo-pak.org/magazine/ or downloaded in pdf format at http://www.indo-pak.org/IPFC-Magazine.pdf
I would really appreciate if you could state your views on the possible future relationship of India and Pakistan. We have been recently covered in Times of India and Hindustan Times. Your views on the relations of both countries is what we need.
I sincerely hope to receive a reply from you.

Respected dear Amit ji,
First of all i would like to pray to God to fulfill all the wishes of Abhishek da and Ash boudi on their anniversary, as we always feel our family emotionally bonded to yours. i am 20 yrs old and see the images of my father in you bcoz he too loves us the same way as you have sentiments for Abhi da, Shweta di and now Ash boudi. you have the same feelings, respect and admiration for your parents as my father has for my grandparents. i was greately touched after reading your book ‘To be or not to be- Amitabh Bachchan’. i have read it nearly 3-4 times a
