Singapore September 4, 2009 Fri 11 : 55 PM
Its going to be BIG BOSS for Colors and it was officially announced today to the media here at the Mariott Hotel in Singapore. The pictures below, give an idea of what the promotionals that I had been shooting for the show, are all about. This then is the decision taken. It starts in October and ends by December 2009.
Colors, a channel that started operations barely a year ago hosts the show and had been in meetings with me for a while to assess the possibilities of my being associated with BIG BOSS, the Indian version of the popular BIG BROTHER. I had been aware of the show and seen bits of it on and off, but when it came up as an offer for participation, I went into discussions with the management on how we could perhaps with my involvement, bring certain changes where my presence would compliment not just the concept but also in a sense those audiences that viewed it.
There has been an aspect of TV shows, ever since I got involved with KBC, that has intrigued me immensely - the science or the philosophy that goes into designing such concepts. I believe that no matter what the idea has been in the construct of such dimension, there is something that delves deeper, that thinks and reasons, that calculates and assesses the nature of human behavior.
‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ from where KBC emanated was the brain child of a very recognized psychologist. It was a remarkable feat to have studied how the human mind reacts to its intelligence quotient when threatened by the prospect of it being equated with material gain. Most intelligentsia is academic. To now bring it along and mix it with other inflammable elements inside a crucible and incarcerate it till the compounds melt together to form an object of competition and desire, was a work of art. At least to my mind.
It was this aspect that I debated over when discussing possibilities of my involvement in BIG BOSS with the Colors team. What does it do to the human mind or to an individual, when it is put into such severe circumstances as in the discussed program.
13 individuals, unknown to each other, watched and monitored closely by 35 cameras, put together for a period of 84 days without any contact with the outside world, into one house… how on earth did they devise such thought ?? Did they just get up one morning and start operations, was it it some ridiculous idea of a brain damaged person … what ??
I believe, that those that designed this show subjected themselves to a huge amount of research on what the human mind would react to if subjected to the rigors that BIG BOSS projects. And I believe the end result must have come about after believing that the possibilities of an interesting test to emanate from this needed to be considered.
How would you feel if you were deprived of your newspaper early in the morning. On days when the press shuts because of a National Holiday, our morning routine suddenly seems utterly disrupted. Imagine not being with a news paper for 84 days. Not having access to a mobile or any connectivity. No access to any form of entertainment through television or radio. No time pieces to ascertain what time it is.
And then …. when you come in after a week to assess why the inmates behaved the way they did, it becomes somewhat of a challenge. I felt if this ‘face’ for the show, could, instead of merely coming in there looking pretty to evict voted out contestant, be able to talk to the individuals and perhaps in his wisdom try to discover or unfold the reasons behind the behavior of certain inmates, it would go a long way in not only giving the participants an opportunity to re look at themselves for the following week, but also provide sufficient fodder to the audience that views the program. The idea is not to intellectualize the moment, not to become the messiah so to say, or an authoritative judge and jury, but a friendly philosopher, a ‘pop philosopher’ as nomenclatured by the channel, to leave something behind for perhaps a dining table discussion. For the contestants perhaps to consider what had been offered.
What is it that instigates temper, intolerance, assertiveness, emotion among us and how does it get related in a situation that the show exemplifies. Would it through debate and discussion elevate a situation or make it worse. Could it be possessing qualities of moral rectitude. Would it provide material that could induce an emulation of sorts. Fascinating !!
It was then this element of the show, the attention for which, the management needed to assure me of, before I would accept signing on. They appreciated the thought, assured all of their desire to take the concept to a higher level and got about the task of ensuring that it was brought into practice with renewed vigor.
From the look of the ‘face’, to the furniture within, to the modes of bringing in the contestants, all went through severe change. And I am happy to note that right from the start there has been a desire to make sure that what has been discussed is being executed.
The entire day therefore has been spent with the print and electronic media brought in here for the purpose. They have been pleasant and seemingly supportive. Ha ! They all look like that when in our presence. Its when they get back to office or home or wherever it is they file their stories from, that the journalist shall take over and the juice will start being poured in.
It was a pleasure to meet Poonam Saxena from Hindustan Times after a very long period. I think I last did something with her during the time of ‘Bade Mian, Chhote Mian’ or may be not, I cannot recollect. She had met up at one of the IIFA’s too. She writes an exclusive column on TV and I would imagine her next column would carry her interpretations of this Singapore visit. Bharti Dubey from Times, with a complete make over in hair and dress and glasses was difficult to recognize first, but when she started her questions, it confirmed to me that it was her indeed - edgy and with an intent to being naughty. I can almost read in my mind the quality of her content and the style with which it shall be presented. We’ve had a bit of a debate on her in one of the earlier posts, have we not !
I was unaware of the two magazines, Campaign and Impact. I found them to be extremely interesting in the sphere of marketing and advertising and branding. They contained very perceptive articles and write ups pertaining to the TV industry in particular and the communication market in general. They even had a few interviews of people that conduct interviews, which was most interesting to read. The questioner being questioned !
Rajiv Masand and Manish Dubey followed with their set of cameras for the electronic and as usual the questions very nearly tended to veer away from the reason they were there for. Manish’s hand held cameraman Sameer in particular seemed least interested in following our conversation and spent a major portion of his time focussing his lens on my shoes. It would be interesting to see how this could possibly form an important part of a story being done on BIG BOSS. Sarita from India TV shifted uncomfortably in her chair during her questioning and I knew why. She was more keen to talk about Aishwarya’s swine flu scare and what was transpiring in the life of Shah Rukh Khan, than BB ! The PR agency watching hawk like over every sentence spoken, jumped in and directed the lady to stick to the subject.
By tomorrow morning, the euphoria of me returning to TV shall have died down and instead what will now occupy most of the space, will be … why ? Merits and demerits of the show shall be rung in and the why’s shall prevail. In typical fashion after the acknowledgements are over, the daggers shall be pulled out …
No problems at all… we shall pull ours out as well … would we not ??
It is now closing on to 3 am on the Saturday. A gentle patter of rain is being heard on the windows, a steel door somewhere slides and shuts, slides and shuts…. slides and shuts, in most irritating manner…
Happy and prosperous wishes for ONAM …
And yes .. almost forgot .. ‘The Last Lear’ is slated to win the National Award for best film, English ..
My sincerest love and affection ..

Dear Amitji
Thank u for being connected with us on daily basis. It is so important for all of us to know on how you are doing daily…I am elated to see ur post daily, I cannot rest until I have read ur post…no matter how much I travel I make it a point to see ur post and respond…
I have learnt from so many about you being so punctual on the sets that make others too run….
“Perhaps there is no other knowing than the mere competence of the act. If at the heart of one’s being, there is no self to which one ought to be true, then sincerity is simply nerve; it lies in the unabashed vigor of the pretense. But pretense is only pretense when it is assumed that the act is not true to the agent. Find the agent”
Your sincerity to work shows how successful you are today, we are trying to follow ur footsteps Sir!
Luv & Regards
Shankar
Dear Sir:
Hats off to you for your positive spirit even at this age (my intention is not to offend you ). I’m a few months younger to your son, and more than often I get so tired with all family, work, career, social, etc. commitments, that I long for these years to go by as fast as possible so that the kids are grown-up and settled, I’m closer to retirement, etc. I very much understand that the # and magnitude of problem usually increase with age, as physical strength diminishes; but it’s just the mindset. I feel you have a mindset of a 33 year old and I of a 67 year old :-). We all have a lot to learn from you. Cheers !!!
BTW, I still can’t imagine that “The AMITABH BACHCHAN” whom we emulated as kids, were so much in awe of, your movies, songs, dancing and action style, dialogues, etc. maybe be potentially reading this post.

Mr. AB
wish you all the best for your decision. ppl of India would love it i believe.
i am bit skeptical though. not about your success but that could be my personal feeling. i personally don’t like to see you on smaller screen. though ppl liked your appearance in Indian version of “who wants to be a millionaire” i didn’t like it a bit ( i just had a chance to watch one episode). ehh…. that could be my thing though as i mentioned before.
Hello Mr Bachan, I want just tell you that we wait wait …. for the new post. Love to see your new post. Now I will read and come back with another comment. Love you

PB - Dear! Glad it worked out for you. You are very kind to me and my wife Neelangi! She sends lots of thank you and love to you!
God Bless!
So now we go to see you in Big Boss !!
But But BUT…. what about the routine of blogging?? Would that continue as usual or would have to stay put for the 84 days??
Was it intuition or did you hint about the show?? Cause just yesterday you mentioned about the early morning REAL look, which will now be shared by all !! But we will certainly enjoy looking at those real moments nevertheless.
Looking forward to the show.

Anshu that question which you seem to have answered three times is repeated with removal of ambiguity.. at #11 (Hint : It is one of his early films..)
Sudhir I am going to be absent for a week now from quizzng.. you take care of things.. lol Dr. Anshu may please provide some questions but they should not be out of syllabus.. the peak period of brother’s performing years had been from 1969 to maybe 1985.. it would be far more appropriate to ask questions from the relatively important films.. Am I sounding like a principal or a dean.. not my mistake some people bestowed those roles onto me.. and today being Teachers Day some characteristics are bound to get imbibed on these counts.. Apologies..
Abhaya September 5 2009 12:25 AM

Dear Amitabhji,
I am a BIG fan of yours and a regular visitor to the blog. This is good news. Looking forward to the show!!! Does it mean you will do fewer movies now?

Respected Sir,
Looking very nice in the picture and Big Boss kaisa hoga wo to ab sochna hi nhi
hai jahan aap aa gye hain wo show to superhit hone wala hai…
Thanks and Love!!
Dear Amitji,
I have followed Big Boss ardently. Both the Arshad Warsi and Shilpa Shetty season. Never imagined that we’ll get to see you host the third. All I can say is the channel has made an intelligent and correct decision.
I have always felt that the program format truly tests the inmates. We can only put on a behavior and fool others for sometime. However when it comes to weeks and months…the true colors start coming out. The true human behind the celebrity is revealed. BB has also resurrected many careers in the TV and film industry. The inmates’ startdom is enhanced for sure.
I am also happy for “The Last Lear’ winning the national award. You were mind blowing in the film as usual. Especially the scene in which the character played by you falls of the cliff, in the pursuit to give the perfect shot, was very well done.
Wish you all the success!!
Bunty
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!
looking very cooooooooooooooooooooooool
Waiting to see u hosting he reality show..Bigg Boss 3
all the best.
In some pictures here you have a warm, sincere look on your face. The kind of glow that an experienced, honest, hard-working guy does. Whereas, in others you are almost intimidating. So, I would suggest to try your best to have the first look than the second. Not criticism, but just a suggestion.
Congratulations !! The Last Lear surely deserves the National Award….saw the movie sometime back….superb in every respect. Congrats again.
Sujata

Congratulations on ‘The Last Lear’ National Award. That is great news-one more award for you! How could you almost forget?
I love all those photos with your open collar and the ones with the masks behind you.
Good luck for ‘Big Boss’. I wish I could watch it even without subtitles if there aren’t any. You would be a great ‘pop’ philosopher just like you are for us on the blog.
I hope the media is kind to you so you don’t have to pull any daggers out.
Sleep well without annoying steel doors making noise. Maybe it’s ‘Bhoothnah’.
Love,
Rochelle

wow i loved big boss season 1 and 2 ……..glad that ur part of 3…wowwwwwwwwwwwwww
I support you in everything…ok almost everything you do…but with Big Brother and with all the intentions of changing the programme you spoke of, I still am not happy. Mr B… a programme like big boss is targeted at a certain type of audience, they get their so called “entertainment” from these individuals on television, does one believe that this very target audience would want to know the psychology behind why people behave like this? Mr B… you are too dignified a man for a show like this…but I stand by what I said in my email to you…”I hope for my sake and for all of those that are against you doing this show and judging from my group and friend response, most of them are,” that you prove us wrong!… However for now, instead of me being ecstatic, I feel sad… AB doing Big Brother….there are so many other avenues for you and you chose this…
Dear Mr. Bachchan
All the best in your new venture….I guess this time you really might need it…just kidding. I have not seen the show so I guess I really cannot say much about it, and I hope your recommendations will be heard and implemented. All the best…
Lakshmi
Mr. Bachchan……BIG BOSS???? KYYOONNN???? WHY SIR? WHY????
But…….if you’re doing it….all the best to you and hope this show is a bigger success than KBC…..never saw this show before but now that you’re hosting….will HAVE to watch regularly.
your fans like me will always support whatever you do….
OMER
sir congrats!!!!!it will be such a pleasure to catch u on TV.
Take good care of your health.
Love,
Shweta.
eagerly waiting 4 big boss!!
love u
Dearest PIED PIPER OF INDIA,I always feel to do a la AB i.e show commitment,dedication like you.Hats off to yousir…..you are looking stunning BIG BOSS .Rest later love vikas
Amitji,
Big BOSS. Hmmm.. Frankly, never guessed it’d be one the shows that you were contemplating on doing. It would be interesting to see how the makers present the show and more importantly how they present you in front of people.
But then I am sure you would have agreed only after having been thoroughly convinced by it. I am not worried about the show being successful. You coming back to television would any day be a sure shot success. What I am worried is, what if some rotten egg spoils the whole show, and it inadvertently gives the media another opportunity to get back at you.
So, it’d be a very thin rope that you’d be walking on. In any case. all the best for it and count me in, whenever it starts.
Hi Sir,
Wonderful pictures as usual and you look awesome in all!!!! Good nite sir. Hope you get a good nite’s sleep. When are you coming back to India? We miss u around here. Hope your friend gets well soon so that you both can come back here.
Lots and lots of love,
Usha
between ur looking so classy and poised on the above pics….loved it
Hey reallly u looking really gud……and yes i am very happy that now i can see u hosting a reality show called as BIG BOSS…..we all will be waiting for the show to come on floor…………

I think I have been here for too long.. if I continue any further peple would start finding political motivations.. and when I would threaten to quit over such allegations.. the facebook fellow bloggers would make me understand all over again as to why I should continue and not take a note..
But what of the quiz..
Wait for the day 501 and I shall start a new series.. the series would have 11 questions.. they say having 0 at the end is not a good sign.. you see what I mean.. and yes It would only be a weekly affair.. kasme-Vaade nibhayenge hum..
Love and the quiz follows in another post that is a different category so it would not be counted in thenumber of psots by me.. for a day.. ther ehave already been far too many (the bill to stop anyone form contributing n number of times has not been passed the executive council found that we can not deny such privilege to any human being if we want to promote peace, harmony and brotherhood on the blog *on this earth* …
Abhaya September 4 is over and 5 gets started.. Happy Teachers Day.. i.e. it is 12.00 AM sharp IST is understood I am not in Singapore..
As we discussed in previous post when you enquired about EF’s opinion on reality shows. I commented negatively…
But if you are involved in the project.. then it must be good!
May new era will start for reality shows-where dignity , sanity and honor will prevail..
Looking forwad to see it! - Just because you are involved!!!
Dear Sir,
All the very best for the new assignment…

Dear Sir,
It will be great to see you hosting BIg Boss. THe contestants probably will behave better so they don’t look bad in front of you. It is an interesting concept.
Looking forward to it.
Congratulations for “THE LAST LEAR”’s success.
Love and Regards ALways

It is quite shocking to learn that you have agreed to host the TV show Big Boss3 on Colors TV channel. You may take the poll on this subject. I am sure you will see some startling results.
WITH GOOD WISHES,

Dear Sir,
Even though your FmXt will stand by whatever you do,
but I we seriously think thta BIG BOSS is NOT your calling!
I mean, Sir, this show is not worthy of YOUR stature….
There’s still time - you can simply back-out of it.
You can very easily say that your EF is not happy with your decision…
…and hence you’d want to be excused from this….
PLEASE SIR, RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION, AND DON’T DO BIG BOSS.
There are many reasons due to which I am not very excited about this idea…
1) There is NO NOVELTY in this show anymore
2) It became a little SLEAZY in its second edition
3) Your role will be that of only a MODERATOR
4) It is nowhere near to the class of KBC
5) If you’re coming back to TV, please come back with something NEW & UNIQUE
I know there’s always a possibility that you’ll spring a surprise in the way YOU present the show and maybe that will click with the masses and a new chapter will be written in the history of Television!
But I doubt it will happen with - of all the shows - BIG BOSS???!!!!
Please take a POLL on your blog and see for yourself how WE think about it.
with love & regards always,

Love u amitji. Take care. Keep yr self busy and health.
Neha
I’m no more your fan
sorry for my trust,
I will always think that my opinion in people is not wrong until approve other than that
you are not doctors or scientists to make experiments on human mind.
you lie on your self
its for cheap joy
its for dirty business
I’m sure its the great failure
its compromising your morals and ideals by money
I close now this blog, never open again
Dear Amitabh,
I am absolutely against you hosting Big Boss. I think this show is not fit for a person of your stature.
It is a voyeuristic show and judging by the last season, somewhat inappropriate.
As a huge fan of yours, I am troubled by this decision of yours.
I am very skeptical about this show.
Just my humble opinion.

Thanks for sharing your news and your perspective on the show…
Hope it turns out the way you expect it to…but much like the other Media that you have no fondness for as they misconstrue ALL that you say to Sell Papers..
I thnk they will Bite you…
I have no respect for Reality TV…as it’s ALL about RATINGS…No matter who hosts it…
Sorry…!!!
Love you much but as you have said so many times you have to be TRUE to your Self…and I am a bit disappointed in this choice…
Still Good Luck with it…
Love you always…

Hi Amitji,
Copy and paste from day 500:
I am back in London and finally get to sit at my own PC.
Happy 500th day of your blog.
My son is extremely upset as I promised him you would reply with Birthday Wishes when we celebrated his 8th birthday on 29th August. Can you please send Bhavin belated wishes and promise him you will reply on time next year. I had sent several requests before and after his birthday but as far as I know you have not responded.
Are you not homesick now? It must be at least 5 weeks since you went there? We had a good trip to Gujarat. I finally saw the Ganpati Visarjan at Porbandar Chowpatty last week on Thursday night.
Keep writing and please reply to my upset son.
Love
Naresh
to Bhavin .. happy birthday for the 29th august .. love and happiness always …
Hello Mr.Bachchan,
Great to hear the news abt you and BB3. Looking forward to october eagerly.
All the best and God bless
Preety
Congratulations for hosting Big Boss 3. Which channel sir? I would love to watch the show where my family member is hosting. All the best
I am delighted that you are fascinated with the concept of working on Big Boss and that is all that matters! It’s your choice and you made an informed decision. I’m sure you will relish the opportunity to make a difference to the show. My sincere congratulations.
I will return soon to comment fully, but for now I wonder if ear plugs are available at your hotel reception to muffle the sound of the rain!
Goodnight dearest Mr. Bachchan, sleep well it really is very late for you..
All my love and affection…

Hello…
i was pleased to read ur blog and yes i was going to ask …about ur anchoring BB…the show itself is a hit…and u will make it a history again….haha…so we are again in making of a history…U know…i am a big fan of BB show…u might rem the blog u asked about reality show and our views on it…i did answer it point by point…have u gone thru them or not i am not sure….but i told then also…that this i faced in real when i came here to Ghana…
when i reached here…we dint get net connection till 4 months…and no TV…( all local channels r not worth watchin…but yes…i understood all details of football by the time i got net..before that i was a cricket and tennis and bike racing(valentino rossei fan)…haha…and now i do know rooney,drogba and others..too haha…but…i can tell u what it is in real in BB house….its maddening…and i wud never imagine being there inside…once u r here in Ghana and if u r dependent on resources of this country u can imagine…i was almost on the verge of depression haha….
and yes CONGRATS!!!! for the LAST LEAR….i believe it will be ur 4th Natinal Award…..congrats again….
and yes journalists r all diggers…they want to dig all those stories and stuff that they cant reach…let them do there job and rightly said …we will all be there…haha…with u..
it wud have been more fun had i been there in India when my fav program is starting with my fav actor in anchoring…but then life is different and i might not be there…but last time they showed it on in.com…this year also i might get all those episodes on net …i hope so i do..then my stay here will be slightly better than BB house…haha…
i will commment more today or tomor…and ya my condolence for CM- Dr, YSR reddy…he was a nice person and not much of a politician…may his soul rest in peace…
Incidently i too am located in Hyderabad…but i prefer calling my self a Indian rather than bracketting myself in a particualr state…as i am a north indian by birth…maharashtrian by domicile…married in AP..husband belongs to Mathura…and Mom-in-law from rajasthan…have relatives from jammu to..bengal to bombay to AP- to bengalaru…to chennai….haha and friends acroos india…so let me be an Indian and may God give me blessings that i make being and Indian proud….
here already i have started doing that stuff and started earning the credits for being and Indian….(and this time not for beauty….haha…In ghana all Indian girls are synonym of aishwarya rai…) haha…but with my brains…they r praising my knowledge and my ideas…and recently met a community which does development work here owned by Ghanaians….and i might start a Non-profit physiotherapy centre…( my son needs it too) and ghana needs it badly as medical services here r ttooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad….lets see what i can do…
regards and good night

Awesome write up in the blog… Definately with ur expericence in movies, ideas and thoughts and KBC, would shape much better for the upcoming Big B and I am looking forward to see it… As an ETF, I even heard that Big B doesnt have that charm as compare to KBC or to your stature. Please think twice. You know much better than anyone else in this world. Just my concern…………….
What an source of inspiration are? The way you wrote, thought about met the Journalist with their accent, mind games, about the magazines, and so on and on, made me think of your way of commitments and knowledge. Til today there was not a day pass by without reading your blog Sir……..
I know that I am following you from the day I saw Sholay and went on tilll today. Thanks to the tech which made me to write and express my feelings to my idol, my person to whom I respect the most in the world. God bless you for longevity of life..

Mr. Bachchan,
A man of your stature should NOT be participating in such a low class show as BB. Please reconsider this decision.
Hope Aishwarya NEVER does these tv shows as the media has been speculating!!
Disappointing news Mr. Bachchan!

THE BIG BOSS SHOW IS PEDESTRIAN, PURPOSELESS AND IMMORAL. HOW A PERSON WITH EXCEPTIONAL MORAL VALUES COULD AGREE TO BE PART OF THE SHOW IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. IT IS INDEED DISGUSTING AND IN BAD TASTE.
YOU HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED AND THROWN OPEN THIS TOPIC FOR YOUR FANS TO DISCUSS THE MERITS AND DEMERITS OF YOUR COMMITMENT. I AM SURE THERE WILL BE BOUQUETS AS WELL AS BRICKBATS.
GOD BLESS YOU.

Sir
We thought we were fighting of just, equal, racial communities in the UK. We struggled to achieve equal rights in employment, housing, and health care. We thought we have nearly achieved equality. We thought we have law behind us, until Shilpa Shetty decided come and take part in the Big Brother show. She became a victim of racism, we thought only existed in the past. She failed to recognise subtle racist abuse and failed to challenge racism. She undid all we fought for past four decade. The organisations failed to protect the rights of minorities. Big brother and other reality shows are voyeuristic. They play on emotions and weakness of the most venerable. I implore you not to participate in this form of masochistic show.
I wish you the best of luck with this venture. I heard of this as I woke up this morning at my end. However, I must confess to extreme disappointment that you chose such a venture. I am afraid I cannot accord any seriousness to this sort of TV programming. I think there is very much on TV today, and in a global sense, that really (and as Fellini would have it) presents the perverse as normal. We see the final culmination of this logic in the ‘infotainment’ channels where the news itself becomes just another name for the ‘hysteric’.
Once upon a time I felt similarly about KBC but you proved me and everyone else wrong by re-kindling your phenomenon through this vehicle. You might do so again. And yet for someone like myself who insists on keeping the charge of the ‘angry young man’ alive even this sort of TV success is dismaying to the extent that it indicates a further erosion of the ‘radical’ (at least the ‘progressive’) and a greater accomodation to the dominant consumption paradigms of today. Still, KBC was at least a quiz show.
The reality show of the kind you have now agreed to helm represents it seems to me the most debased form of television entertainment. It basically takes the voyeuristic urge to an extreme. Let’s always spy on people who are put in rather unnatural situations, let’s always watch, let’s always listen in. In Europe sexual activity is also encouraged or certainly tolerated on similar shows. The more moderate versions only have people on islands being forced to eat all kinds of insects and so forth!
You have been put in the ‘master’ position on this show. But should one really wish to lead such an enterprise?
You speak so often about your father and living up to his expectations of yourself. I have so often suggested that you have done so through your cinema as well as your personal conduct. I hate to argue the converse today and I certainly wish to be excused for sounding so blunt about it but I daresay he would have been as appalled by this decision as candidly I am.
I do not think I need to address here why I also find this decision to be a total betrayal of your glorious history. I have found it hard enough to live with some of your movie decisions over the last decade or more. But this is truly the unkindest cut.
Of course it is your will and wish. One can hardly argue against your freedom in this matter! But one can bring up questions of judgment and taste. It honestly pains me to even frame the note this way. I think you can easily believe this given everything else I’ve said on this blog. But I would be less than honest if I skirted over this issue and I think I have never been dishonest when addressing you. It is certainly your choice. But you are once again failing the ideas and ideals your greatest films represent, your screen history represents, and (as I have always termed it) what the promise of your signature represents, not only in a cinematic sense, but as one of the most influential figures of post-Independence Indian history. Such a name carries enormous responsibility. Films are not just entertainment products. Nor movie stars simply people who do their jobs the way government bureaucrats do. There is meaning and message attached to movies and especially so when the works are as seminal as the ones you’ve been associated with, when the star in question is as epochal as you are. One has a responsibility to guard that heritage. At least not tarnish it.
My apologies at the end for a note that must come across as unduly harsh. But as I have said forever, to guard and preserve the potency of your signature, to maintain fidelity with what is greatest about your career and the effects you’ve unleashed, one must (even if sadly) reject much you have chosen to get involved with in this current decade.
Age ought not to wither, nor should custom stale infinite variety…
Hey MR.Amithabh,

Namastey,
I’m very happy and excited to hear that you’re finally hosting another show after a LONG GAP. At the same time I’m little disappointed as well because I’ve been thinking that you’d come back with KBC again. I hope you host KBC again and good luck with this show.

Priyesh Pandya
Dear AB,
First, hearty congratulations for the award of “the last lear”. I loved the unusual intense film and exceptional acting from you, Preity and Arjun. Feel happy for you.
I am not a TV fan and don’t usually have time to follow something consistently either. But best wishes on BIG BOSS season and I can see it becoming the most successful TV show EVER. I like your analysis and inputs on the concept behind show. Best wishes for the show and hope you enjoy making of it.
40 years in the industry; the most varied personal and professional experience and you already foresee the results in print. bravo! but isn’t that true? they are being nice to get all juice details from you and then will go ahead to print twisted lies. so glad there is a blog that makes you aware of dark side of the business.
having said that, I am taking a hiatus from the online world. not sure about hows and whens. thank you for all you do, all you write and all you share. it has been a pleasure, an absolute honor and a great dear experience.
I will see you when I will see you. Till then………I wish you…………
something I lost with no second chance
something that made my heart dance
something I was too naive to take for granted
something I am too proud to think as a mistake
something I expect no return
something I shall cherish all seasons
something that brightens life with sunny smiles
something that cheers you up for many miles
…..love and lots of love!
take care,
Veena
amit ji its really began here in india yhe euphoria of you the real big boss is doing BIG BOSS , no more words to express my feeling, please wait i have to call the DTH operator to install the HD ready connection to watch it after a long time i will watch TV
Dear Amitji,
Great to hear that you have accepted to host the BIG BOSS serial. Excellent decision!!! This will be a special treat for the millions of TV viewers to see you back on TV after KBC. I am sure your presence in the BIG BOSS serial will bring back a renewed enthusiasm among viewers and the show will be a HUGE success, and it is quite appropriate that our Big Boss (YOU) should host Big Boss
. Agree that media will now try its hand to see how it can spoil things, but they better be careful now…we have you here to straighten them out.
The photos in today’s blog are superbly elegant. Thanks for posting it for us. CONGRATULATIONS on your ‘The Last Lear’ winning National Award for Best Film. It is indeed one of the best movies that I have seen in recent times.
With love,
Krishna
Sir,
Ek minute!… ,you will participate to BIG BOSS? Euh! it’s still an interesting experience after all! But …. you tell us to “Imagine not being with a news paper for 84 days”
I express the sentence in other words and it is very painful to all EF:
“Imagine not being with a daily post for 84 days”….we will be the real inmates
I don’t think the internet is allowed for candidates
Anyway, good luck for you & for us, 84 days!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
Good Luck and Best Wishes for Big Boss! I’m not trying to be negative but please be advised that recently concluded “Is Jungle se much….” was a farce and a big slap on those so called celebrities. The crorepati show had fineness and respect bit I believe Big Boss is going to be altogether different ball game with some very cheap thrills. Being an icon, Padmashree, Padmabhushan and host of other well known decorations, I really do not know what will be your role and how you are going to handle constant bickring, using of four words and a constant mention to being gay…that’s what the latest and greatest sutra being hummed in our country now!!
you speak so soft and gentle …. u know it really feels when i read your blogs.
You were talking about Big Boss …what i feel if a person wants to know about him/her and wants to rethink about life then it is a good place to go for. i m really very eager to go for such a nice thing.
you look really Fantastic in those Photos.I forgot to tell you one thing my Grandfather was a carbon copy of yours.Same height,same hair style,same voice,same attitude. U will not believe me but its really true…you don’t think so im telling you these things just to impress you..but its not true…im genuine by heart.
I don’t want that you should reply to my blog …
Thank You
Rajkuwar
Dear Mr Bachchan
I’m no fan of reality shows but suddenly you make me see them in a whole new light..
How powerful your arguments are for the potential of this type of TV show to explore human psychology when tested by exceptional situations - the pressure cooker of a communal house where all our normal props and comforting routines of daily life are withheld, while being scrutinised 24/7 by the cameras and the nation. The concept you describe here for Big Boss is indeed fascinating… and a return to what should always have been a compelling but also considered experiment into the human as a social animal.
Here in the UK at least this concept was horribly debased by producers deliberately throwing together a group of people as ill-equipped as possible to exist together harmoniously, and then inciting them to the worst or most outrageous behaviour possible… whether fighting or, err, fornicating.
As you so rightly say, what has previously been lacking is any attempt to analyse or understand what has taken place during the time the participants have spent under surveillance They have merely been encouraged to vent their spleen about each other, as far as their inarticulacy permits, and then depart to pursue their ten minutes of fame.
I will be so fascinated to see how this new incarnation of Big Boss unfolds, and whether the producers succeed in living up to the ideals you have unfolded here. Above all I think the human qualities YOU will bring as the head of the house, and your ability to interact with the house mates with sympathetic intelligence, give this the potential to be something unique. I do hope it will capture the imagination of the Indian viewers and engage the national psyche like nothing before… or at least nothing since KBC.
Golly, I’m going to feel even MORE out of the loop when I’m gallivanting around Madagascar while BB is launching. I just hope there’s some way those of us outside India can get to see it.
With all my love and fondest wishes that this will bring you every success and fulfillment, Daisy

Amit ji
just watched The Taking of Pelham 123 starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta. after seeing that I though why not our own Big B try out an act enacted by Travolta, because that carried more weightage for u mr bachchan. but denzel washington could be any one, perhaps could be anybody.
and
I also watched Fox, starring Sunny any Arbaaz, amaazing, performance by Sunny, but i M not NOT happy with the complete package of the movie…see it to believe it..
Good Morning
my dear hero,
but u remain my IDOL.
I follow ur principles in life
Good luck,

Awesome pictures. You look fabulous!!!
It’s wonderful that you will be hosting Big Boss. Yeyyy…..!!

Amitji,
Do you really read all the comments? If you do then you are truly great!
But how will I know for sure, unless I see a response from you?
Looking forward to that:)
Congratulations…on your new assignment and in getting associated
with a novel concept and a new idea.Sir by now as we know there are
many kinds of people and each is one of their only kind it will
be very interesting to observe the psychological aspect of it
and here in would like to share with you that there is a management
concept called TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS.According to this every
person no matter how erudite one is has a Parent,Adult and a
Child imbibed in his personality and based on situational demands and
these traits crop up depicting the endurance levels and tenacity
to react to a situation .There is also a concept called TAT thematic
apperception test which tests the reaction quotient to a demanding
situation.These will be interesting tools for you to equip yourself to
handle the show and make it a grand success
On a side note we are blindly copying all these western shows without a
original thought process in place and that’s a sort of deceit we are
making to ourselves and it’s high time we come up with a original
and indipendant and hitherto unknown concept to make our own
mark internationally.The lack of originality is a deficiency we have to
improve upon and please note these are not cynical observations but
ones made out of our blind copying of western concepts.

Dear Amitji,
WOW!WOW! and WOW!!! Great, suave, gorgeous pictures. Great news - but
very sadly we do not have ‘Colors’ here in UK!!!!! NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR - How
am i going to watch Big Boss??? What role will you be playing in this mega show?
Participant or show host or the VOICE???? The WHOLE world will want to watch
the programme if you are involved in it. I’ll have to move to India for the 2 months - yes i think that’s a good idea!!!
Good night and God Bless
Love and best wishes

Respected Bother
Sadar Charan Sparsh
Ignore the first two posts from me on day 501 they are repeats from yetrday that were meant for FmXt..
I read quixckly through your line of approach to such a huge topic of a new television Avtar for you..
It could be wonderful.. I don’t know what this program is all about.. I do get a feeling that it must be pretty good if Shilpa Shetty was so successful with a similar program in UK.
I do like to watch programs on olors.. I watch the Balika Vadhu there once in a while.. Haven’t seen for many days.. Amrit and savita are almost regulars there..
Yet I talk of a different issue.. I talk of a fil by BR Chopra sahab.. Dharmaputra.. a movie that I have not seen completely as I thought it important enough to communicate with you and these days maybe more with FmXt than with you..
What I find despite too many dragging songs.. that the subject of the movie is highly impressive.. I have just seen half of it.. and already I am a fan.. The switch over from astate of the state in 1925 to a new state in another 15 years.. it sounds quite bizarre.. how the change got so drastic from Hindu Muslim bhaai to the road map of partition and associated bloodshed.. I stopped when the young boy grows up to be Shashi Kapoor and hesitates to interact with a muslim lady (Mala Sinha) who actually is his original mother, a fact that probably he is not aware about.. I shall see the rest of it tom. or when I get time.. my kind of subject.. I think by now you would be knowing that this man could be made an ambassdor to Pakistan.. (Joking brother I have no political or administrative ambitions of that sort.. ) f oun read the post containing Bob marley that I send yesterday that is more of me.. than anything else.. One world is my kind of dream..
I would have to say that it has been after quite sometime that you posted some snaps .. they are all good loooking at our best eveb at this age.. main to abhi se hi buddha dikhane laga hoon aapse 16 saal chhota hone ke babjood..
We shall talk more later.. Television is a media I consider very important.. maybe you and rest would find moreon what I expect from Teleivision and how a sick tube could wake the nation up.. how best we can convert our simple entertainer into a nation builder.. aap kah rahe ho.. baten banana to koi abhaya sharma se seekhe.. bhaai ab aap sharma nahi laga sakate ab mai bas abhaya hoon..
Abhaya September 5 2009
PS I have considered you a great teacher in my lfe.. May I be allowed to touch your feet one more time and seek the blessings of the Guru..
कबीर साहब क दोहा याद तो नही था पर देख कर लिख रहा हूं, मुश्किल वाला है भाई -

एक और सुनॊ भाई
मनहिं दिया निज सब दिया, मन के संग शरीर ।
अब देबे को क्या रहा, यों कथ कहहिं कबीर ।।

I guess, I need to get my satellite working again to watch Big Boss. I can’t afford to miss this show.
Wish you all the very best ! !
PS Need I even mention I think you are looking drop dead gorgeous in the photos, and I had to make a truly heroic effort to read your words instead of just gazing at the photos… I hope you appreciate my dedication to your intellect as well as your physique….
With lots more love and 360 degree admiration, Daisy
Hello Amitji,
WOW….excellent pictures…..great-looking outfits……I must say you look just “INCREDIBLY HANDSOME”…and this must be said everyday to you but again I must say MAY GOD GRANT YOU THE ENERGY TO STAY HEALTHY AND DO ALL THE THINGS YOU WANT!!” …..your age does not show at all….I think we humans should really keep our health at the top of our agenda, because “AGE” should not affect a person. If we just stopped and took just maybe 30 minutes of our daily life and do some sort of exercise to keep that metabolism and energy going, so would allow us to wake up everyday with a SMILE and again that ENERGY to make it through the day.
SALUTE TO YOU MR. BACHCHAN!!
LOTS OF LOVE,
MITAL
HI ! CONGRATULATIOS !( For BB and LL)
All the best wishes for BB. I wish we get to see the channel and your show in USA.
All the best .
With lots of love

dear amitji,
great to know that u will be hosting the Big Boss series on tv, i am sure that with ur valuable insight u will add chaar chand to this show as u did with KBC, Congrats and best wishes, u look very cool in the photos posted in the blog,
regds
Amit ji,
The snaps are spot on. Captivating.
Now, Big B on Big B!
Shilpa Shetty was too good the last time round. She performed better than the contestants. I’m convinced that your presence will certainly take Big Boss to a new level.
Looking daper as ever and not at all someone who is nearly going to complete 67 yrs.
For now I will say CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS….glancing through, it looks like this BIG BOSS reality programme is your next main project. I will read the post after I am back later tonight.
Best Wishes
Rajesh
sir,
how do u think that indian youths should be motivated,do you think that the politics in india should be revitalized by bringing young faces.
I can`t say how much we missed u on Tv,,,,,truly saying after KBc with amitabh bachhan,,,,,many like had nothing important to view on TV……I watch Tv randomly,,,,,,but now feeling impatient to be a part of ur show by viewing it,,,,,
I remember with KBC I was a child I used to switch on both the TV of my home,never changed the channel even in break….
Once I had exam,,,so I couldn`t see KBC,,,,that day I querreled with my mother and won,,,,,on the issue that till I would study in study room,,,,,Tv in drwing room will remain open with same show of KBC(n no serial), after all Mr bachhan is visiting us….
Such is ur impact sir…..u r the Big Boss…have not watched even single episode of this program ever,,but this time,,,,same story of KBC is to be repeated…..
and congratulation for Last lier…
Rahul
Mr. Bachchan,
Reagarding BIG BOSS if you eventually do, here are some notes..
I personally did not like the show, a show where stars argue among each other and a camera hunting them. Also, when even the contestants know that there are cameras all around and how they should behave?????
But now if you be part of it I have to connect my DISH again just to watch you.
Also, there’s not much to do in the show as a host.
I hope the show modifies to make it more interesting so there are more interaction with the host.
Regarding Last Lear….., personally I did not like the movie but liked your acting. A great movie for Fast Forward…Stop only when Amitabh Bachchan is in the frame.
Instead of best film …they should give good actor.
RESPECTED PITAMAHA,
“TWAMEV MATA CHA, PITA TWAMEV,
TWAMEV BANDHU, CHA SAKHA TWAMEV”….
“HAPPY TEACHER’S DAY TO YOU”
YOU’RE THE WORL’D BEST TEACHER & PREACHER…. CHARAN-SPARSH!
REGARDS!

परम आदरणीय गुरुजी(अमिताभ बच्चन), जब मैनेँ आपको “मृत्युदाता” मेँ देखा तो काफी निराश हुआ था, इसलिए नहीँ कि आप ने बहुत अच्छा अभिनय नहीँ किये थे बल्कि इसलिए कि “हम लोग जिस अमिताभ बच्चन को शोले,जंजीर,दीवार…इत्यादि मेँ देखे थे, उसका चेहरा “मृत्युदाता” मेँ पहचान मेँ ही नही आ रहा रहा था ” ।
हम लोगोँ को लगता था जैसे हम लोग अमिताभ बच्चन को नही देख रहे हैँ ।
लेकिन आज आप ने कड़ी मेहनत के दम पर हम लोगोँ को फिर से “अमिताभ बच्चन” दे दिया है ।
अमिताभ बच्चन की जय हो…

AMITABH ZIIBBU
I have been a big fan of yours for as long as I can remember. It is wonderful to read your blog everyday. I have been doing so from Day 1 but I haven’t logged a comment on any posting so far. But today, when I read the news about your involvement with Big Boss, I felt this utter need to let you know what I think - it probably doesn’t mean much to you or anyone else but here it is…
Big Boss?? Really?? Why?! For me, there are two types of reality television shows: those that are based on talent, knowledge or physical endurance of the contestants, and those based solely on the personalities of the contestants. In the first type, the contestants are required to perform or exhibit their skill to win a prize. While the personality of the contestant may play a role in him/her winning, it is talent and skill that ultimately makes someone a winner. Shows like SaReGaMaPa (ignoring the non-singing antics of contestants/judges), and KBC are good examples of this type of reality tv. In the second type, the contestant wins purely on the basis of his/her personality, and how attractive he/she makes himself/herself to the other contestants or the general audience (who might be voting for him/her). Such shows also gain a lot (of ratings and media coverage) by featuring personality conflicts between the contestants, or other disputes prominently, and by milking such situations to the maximum. Big Boss would be an example of such a show. The conflict/situation Shipa Shetty faced in the British equivalent of Big Boss, and the media coverage/publicity that followed it would be an example of such type of crass entertainment. For no matter how intellectual you try to make it, contests based on personality and conflict alone, with no skill or talent involved, fundamentally have little to no redeeming value for society as a whole. It caters to our baser instincts. It leads to lower quality television. It makes the television an “idiot box” in the truest sense - it’s just another soap opera! It was heartening to see your involvement in KBC. It is quite disappointing to learn of your involvement in Big Boss.

Vijay

Dear Mr. Bachchan
Congragulations and best wishes for your new venture-”Big Boss”. I am sure this show which has been criticzed, perhaps unduly, will gain respectability thanks to yor association.
You look great in black. Been a lon time sine you updated us on your forthcoming films. Any new projects ? Looking forward to seeing you in a speilberg -Anil Ambani film. Will this happen?
Looking forward to your response.
Best wishes and regards
Manoj Ghantasala
Boss -
CONGRATULATIONS….I hope you are successful in your second stint on TV and also big congrats for The Last Lear winning the national award for English. No doubt the media will try to pull you down and shred everything you are associated to bits but thats okay…nothing new. With Amitabh Bachchan and a new concept…nothing can go wrong. Wish you all the best!!
Sagar
Salaam Amit Uncle,
I have mixed feeling about the Big Boss reality show…I’m excited that you are pursuing TV again, however, Big Boss???? Really??? Why??? If reality, why not something like The Apprentice…I can soo see you saying “You’re fired!!” hahhaa…But seriously, for me, I can not pass judgement until I see it for myself. I remember when you asked about reality TV and if you should accept roles in TV…too bad I didn’t see the connection…
I’m happy to see that you are excited about this new venture and I really wish you the best. I’m confident that you made sure that the show would be inline with your thoughts and beliefs and does not go “against your grain” and for that I support your decision.
I really like the pics you posted for us…I particularly like the black with the red…very sharp
I’m not particularly fond of the white pants…to be honest, actually, to the whole outfit. It doesn’t look right. I look at the pic and my eyes are drawn away from your face and toward the white pants..I think the black and red makes you look like the BOSS…Main hoon DON!!! 
Sleep Well, Amit Uncle,
Love always
Big TIght Hugs.
Pat
Mr.B

Dearest Amitji…
A very hearty congratulation on your new venture.
May God make you more successful.
I read and considered your points in saying ‘yes’ to this programme. Very valid points. I really do hope the validity of these points get incorporated in the audience too.
I have my reservations but trust your judgment over mine. Inshallah you will prove everyone who is against you being in this show wrong.
You are loved in whatever you do. You can count on that.
Love

Dearest Amithji
Sada Parnam,
Rather a late entry today than normal, but you have been very busy it seems, checked on you so many times this evening, and eventually it was well worth waiting for. I meant the pics, you always have looked very smart in blk n white, but must say blk n red, makes you more edible… lol (the bestest way to describe the depth of your appearance, when something looks too good to resist…) No serious you look very handsome if I may say so!!!
But the BIG BOSS issue, now it all falls in place, the pieces!!! asking us that question on chat/reality shows .. get it…
Amithji, really that is the last thing i’d ever imagine you to be doing… in fact KBC was the best move you ever made as far as TV is concerned, it had class, prestige, education, suitable for all age groups, proffessional and without a doubt you carried it off superbly, the nation/world were totally smitten. The reputation of ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire’ made a path forward for KBC!!
But BB, ??? a completley different league of it’s own… These reality shows are good audience pullers no doubt, they get the ratings, make loads of money for the organisers, but they get watched for the politics/scandal amongst celebrities all for the wrong reasons, its prioring into the famous minds and thoughts, and when one has a fav celebrity or star then they are hooked. The soul that never got any proper recognition or stardom, suddenly comes out being a bigger star than one can imagine for demonstating how they lurvived in restrained conditions… they are all the same and nowadays there are hundreds of them, almost every channel has 2/3 showing regularly, all copied from the west… Be the Jungle challenge, or a dance compettion, or a childrens/adults quiz show.
Amithji please allow me to state that your calibre/status is so much higher than these shows, I really am so surprised that you have entertained such an atrocity at this level.
That is just my oppinion, I tell you because it hurts to see you lower yourself like this, you are so beyond such tittle-tattle or idle talk, they suit the likes of Karan Johar. (I have nothing against the man by the way). But considering you have made this commitment for the 3 month period, so I will no dobut 100% for you alone watch and commit myself when it is aired in the UK. I pray it does very very well, and continues to keep your reputation at pride and with sheer dilligence.
And hey dont worry about any daggers, there’ll be worse ammunition awaiting if required!! We are always here and waiting for you…..
Many congrats on ‘Last Lear’ so far only managed to see original trailors, can not get the film anywhere have looked everywhere… Any EF any suggestions where to find a copy in London ?????
My lov as always @ 9.30pm and back to my assignments

hi mr amitab bacchan sahab i am ur new freind in blog i am very glide to join ur comunity i am truly fan of u i hope will u except my as a ur true fan
Dear Sir,
I am happy and sad both, happy because you will be coming in TV after a hiatus and sad because they don’t telecast the TV channel Colors here in Dubai
I would have to rely on youtube now to see you on the show, I hope they start the telecast of the channel before October.
Congratulations for the new venture, I am sure your presence will give a new height to a show like Big Boss, the way KBC got.
All the best to you.
With lots and lots of love

AND ALSO I’M SO SURPRISED THAT YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY STARRED IN AN INDIAN VERSION OF HBO’S “ANGELS IN AMERICA” TV SERIES, I’M SURE YOU HAVE DVD’S AT HOME AND WATCHED A ZILLIONS TIMES (AND FOR THOSE EF WHO DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT THIS SHOW IT IS AN AMERICAN SHOW THAT WAS ON HBO’S AND STARRED AL PACINO) MAY BE ONE OF THE GREAT VISIONARY OF THIS ACE CHANNEL “COLORS” MAY TAKE UP THIS TOO…….
AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR RUINING THE LONG LABOR DAY WKND FOR ME AND ALL YOUR THOUGHT FULL FANS WHO LIVES IN UNITED STATES AND MAY BE ALL OVER THE GLOBE TOO…
SINCE YOU HAVE AGREED AND MADE UP YOUR MIND IN DOING THIS SHOW, SO ALL MY BEST WISHES TO YAA AND THE SHOW JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT ONE DAY YOU’LL STAR IN “THE MOVIE” THAT ALL YOUR REAL DIE HARD FANS WANT YOU TO DO AND ERASE ALL THIS UGLY MEMORIES OF ALL THESE NON SENSE CHOICES THAT YOU MAKE EITHER TO STAR IN A B GRADE MOVIE OR A LOW GRADE TV SHOW……..AND ONCE I SAID ON THIS BLOG AND TO QUOTE MY SELF “WHY YOU WANT TO REVIST A MEDIUM WHERE YOU SIT RIGHT ON THE TOP” THEN AGAIN WHO AM I JUST YOUR NUMER ONE FAN!!!

Dear Mr. AB,
First of all how can I ever thank you for your response to 4484 (love your numbering system!)? It is always one of the greatest joys that my days can hold to get a response from you, but this one: “someday we shall meet in the real world” made me scream through the house! You know I am a trusting person and now I am absolutely convinced that my future will hold a meeting with you! Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait!!
So BIG BOSS was what your big plans were about! I am sure the student of human psychology in you will have a very interesting experience and most likely a lot of fun. I am also convinced that your presence will do much to maintain a certain level of decency and decorum. But the fear I voiced was prophetic and valid - I am afraid the show won’t make it to my part of the world, which is almost as far from yours as it gets.
Dearest Rochelle, you work for an American TV channel: ANY ideas as to how we can channel this one here??
And, Mr. AB, if you ever are in need of a non-Hindi-speaking total foreigner as a contestant - I offer my humble services.
I see the storm brewing even in the responses here - my dagger is at your side.
Love,
Renate

TO Jasmine Jaywant, New Jersey #284-day 500
I am glad you had a good laugh on my comment to Amit ji #196 day 500. I dont read everybody’s comments. I just happen to see for the new post and was checking my comments if they are posted and saw your nice comment. I am a punjabi and I dont know correct hindi. But thanks for checking. I love this lovely EF of mine. I love you all. Sorry Amit ji for taking the space from you and talking to Jasmine in New Jersey.
Dear Sir,
First, congratulations for the National Award to THE LAST LEAR.
Regarding your decision to host BIG BOSS - a reality show which carries more negative vibes than positive. To put it simply, its surprising, especially after the heated debate on the topic of reality shows, which many of us don’t approve of.
Having said that, I am certain that you must have accepted this offer as a challenge to change common perception (usually negative) of reality shows and carry it to a higher level of respectability.
And, something tells me it might just work. That’s the magic of AMITABH BACHCHAN !!!
Best Wishes to You.
Warm Regards,
B.V.
dear amitji,
congrats for the nomination for the last lear as well as wishing u and the ef a very happy onam,

Respected Amitji,

Hello Amitji,
Its great to read your posts. All the best with Bigg Boss, I am sure with you hosting it, it will scale to new heights.
Regards,
Jayesh
Dear Megastar,
Thanks for the nice pictures but I would like to see you more in the big screen than small screen. My personal opinion is that Amitabh bachchan is too big for small screen and should only be seen in big silver screen.
Take Care.
Pratik
Dear Amitji,
I must say I was a little taken aback to read you are going to do this show ‘Bigg Boss’ equivalent to Big Brother here in the UK. I thought you felt elated when you asked the views of EF what their thoughts were on reality shows and you got a resounding ‘NO’ that it matched your thinking too but sadly this was not the case. What were you so happy about, then?
Though I am deeply saddened and disappointed you’ve chosen a reality show after all, I wish you all the very best for its success.
Congratulations on ‘The Last Lear’ you deserve to win it!
With love & regards,

Hello Amitji,
This is my 2nd comment on this post. The news about you hosting Bigg Boss also appeared on rediff.com. I was hurt by few comments passed on by few visitors of the site. It was vulgar about your family. I don’t know why rediff does not moderate the comments before they appear. I have taken screen shots of it. Let me know if you require them. (I am fine if you do not publish this comment of mine).
Regards,
Jayesh
Those were absolutely stunning pictures Amitji, you look simply fabulous!

What?????????? You hosting Big Boss??? No Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!
I am not evicted to Big Brother at all. For the first time in 501 days I am not happy to read today’s post. I am unable to imagine you hosting the show, it is simply unthinkable. I can’t picture you with those B listed housemates desperately looking for instant fame.
There are many reasons to despise it. Despite the lucrativeness and popularity, I find BB ethically and morally reprehensible. The cynicism, the exploitation, the cheap investment for maximum profit. But it’s the format that reeks the most. Incarcerated 20-somethings deprived of culture, given restricted access to food, ritually humiliated for the pleasure of others - who came up with this stuff?
We are moving towards a ‘Surveillance Society’ or should I call it ‘Big Boss Society’ where technology is extensively and routinely used to track and record people’s activities and movements. CCTVs, Satnavs, cameras, scanners, monitoring chips all around us have intruded into our private space and this leads to decisions which directly influence people’s lives. Such programming and so called entertainment has negative effects on the society when we are constantly forced to wonder whether we might be under observation too.
All said, I still love you as always. I wish you all the best and I have absolutely no doubt that you would take the show to greater heights and the new face of BB will have a positive social, psychological, and ethical impact on the Indian entertainment culture.
Love you always

Mr.Bachchan,
Congratulations on blog number 501. You’ve patiently and diligently expressed your views, opinions, shared some memories of your parents, family and taken time to reply to our comments. Truly a milestone for one and all in your blog.
It would be nice to see you being a friend, philosopher and guide to people in BIG BOSS. I could never do a B ig Brother kind of show. It is hard to stay out of touch with the rest of the world.
Have a wonderful weekend and take care.
Sujata.
Sir,
Ek minute!… ,you will participate to BIG BOSS? Euh! it’s still an interesting experience after all! But …. you tell us to “Imagine not being with a news paper for 84 days”
I express the sentence in other words and it is very painful to all EF:
“Imagine not being with a daily post for 84 days”….we will be the real inmates
I don’t think the internet is allowed for candidates
Anyway, good luck for you & for us, 84 days!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sirji…my initial reaction was a shock to hear that you have accepted to do this show but on 2nd thought I convinced myself that definitely you might have talked with the producers and directors of this show to change the format or say concept. Otherwise you would have not agreed to this show. Can you please give a curtain raiser on this show?
Abhaya Sharmaji : Amitabh Zibbu has given all the correct answers I am agree to that.
With love and warm regards,
Manoj Kumar Ojha
Hello Amit Ji,
Also I heard that you are going to host BIG BOSS and very exited for that….
Wowwwww Looking nice in these pics………So handsome
With Lots of Love and respect

I completely agree with you. I long to see Amit Jee hosting the indian version of ‘Apprentice’ and in his baritone voice say, You are Fired!!!
I can vouch he would be a strong competition to Sir Alan and Trump.
Love
First off, best of luck for the award due. i hope your film gets it. Secondly, i was quite apprehensive when u began introducing ur connection with BB. the UK BB is totally designed for morons. Nobody with an iota of taste or intellect woyld really watch it. Its been successful by creating controversy for the sake of ratings, always. But then i read ur intentions of getting a one on one chat with the inmates and gettin to grips with their thoughts, now that seems intriguing. Altho i am still not sold on u attaching ur name to BB. I pray its the right move for u.
Respected Sir ,
I am waiting for your TV Show.
Today I saw “Y.M.I”-Yeh Mera India Movie Directed by N.Chandra.
Its relay a good movie. Direction & Dialogues of the film good and every actor in “Yeh Mera India” Anupam Kher, Rajit Kapoor,Sarika, Atul Kulkarni, Seema Biswas, Rajpal Yadav,Purab Kohli, Smilie Suri .. ..work great.
Please take care
Regards Rupam from Assam
Dear Amit ji,
NIce blog - you are looking dapper in all pics. It took me a while to actually want to read what you wrote - pics are so nice!!! but then so is your writing.
BIG BoSS - why do you want to do it? I bet this is the one you had asked on poll a few days ago? Wasn’t there anything else you could take? I will be too silly to think you would do it out of desperation - no you won’t. BUt It will be still great to see it for you - I think that’s what producers are trying to do for TRP’s. good luck.
good night!
hugs,
Rahul
I had to rush my earlier comment because my break had ended and there was a supervisor across the room.
I’m afraid I am a bad judge of this show since I have never seen Big Boss nor Big Brother. I don’t know what exactly happens with the contestants. But your presence I’m sure would add class to any show. It sounds as though you have through discussion and contemplation made a careful decision. I just hope everything goes according to the way you envisioned it.
And no, even though I work at a company that broadcasts many channels, I have no idea how to get this broadcast in the USA. Unless I can somehow get the department that orders the incoming satellite feeds for sporting events to also order the Colors channel, and secretly get it on the satellite coming from our building, I don’t think it will happen.
Some bad TV news from this end:
IFC, The INDEPENDENT Film Channel will be going commercial starting in January. Yes, the company I work for is about to ruin another channel after they ruined American Movie Classics. IFC has slowly added more real commercials between movies, which I wasn’t happy about, but now they will run ads during the films. I know you do ads, but this channel as the title implies should not have them. So some of us were trying to come up with another name for IFC and I came up with the Idiotic Film Channel. Once again, COMMERCE wins. I guess they won’t be running the spots that say ‘UNCUT’ before the movies any more.
I have to change trains soon.
I have to say again that you look mighty fine with those open collars in the photos!
Love,
Rochelle
Hello Big B,
I normally read your blog everyday and leave without any comments. But today’s news is disappointing and I wanted to express my feelings.
We would like to see you on TV but the choice of Big Boss does not go well.
May be I am wrong.
God Bless and lots of luv
Sanjay
hello sirji..
have a good day and health to your friend.

Dear Mr. Bachchan Sir,
You know how in Indian movies, people are always going around stuffing little sweets into other peoples mouths to celebrate something, or to make them feel loved or to welcome them into their homes? Well, that’s how I would like for you to see my poems… as little bits of some sweet confection! A little something sweet for you and all my BEAUTIFUL, PRECIOUS EF out there in the Blogji… I hope that the sweet flavor of my offerings will stay in your mind(s)
long after you have scrolled on to the next comment… And having said that, here is todays offering:
“LIFT LADY” by Valorie Adams
Lift Lady, Lift Lady, how lucky she was -
to have gotten into that elevator!
Mr. B., as an actor I feel pretty sure -
you’ll be imitating her a little later!
You say ‘I could never’ repeat her reaction -
Aw, come on - be the ‘Lift Lady’ for us!!!
Don’t try to be shy, at least not in HERE -
For gosh sake’s, we’ve all seen ‘LAAWARIS’…
TAA DAAAA!!!!!
I have to say, Mr. Bachchan, that whole “Mere Angne Mein” dance number you did in ‘LAWARIS’ had me literally on the floor, holding my stomach laughing!!
Oh my gosh, you make me laugh… HA HA HA!!
I played it over and over again, in fact, I have it in my ‘Favorites’ file in my computer and I watch it sometimes - just because I CAN!!!!! I think the ‘mota’ one is my favorite part… you really CAN DANCE!!!!! My second favorite one was the green and red one at the end of the song… with her hairy belly hanging out… GOOD HEAVENS THAT WAS SO FUNNY!!! And who knew you would look so pretty in a sari?????
Back later with tonight’s movie…
Love you THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUCH!!!
I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMWAH!!!!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dear Amitji,
I agree , to imagine life without a cell phone or internet would be a bit of a challenge for sure. I am so addicted to these two things that even on a vacation i am always checking my phone and going online to check email. I am not the biggest fan of Big Brother or Big Boss , i hope you make it interesting and entertaining
enough , if you chose to sign up for this experience .
Take Care

My beloved Mr. Bachchan,
WHOA!! WHOA!! WHOA!! Magnificient pictures of a very handsome stud.

My eyes are illegally close to the screen and I am trying hard to concentrate on what I am writing while I pull the page up to ogle once more! What a feast for the eyes. Someone’s looking dapper and I can’t stop drooling.
Concentrate Lily concentrate! Must pull myself together and will get back to you in a saner state.

You remind me of something that struck me very strongly…
Mr Bachchan, when you sought our views on reality shows on Day 490 you seemed excited by our replies and said that our arguments and analysis had provided “happy copy” for you.
And you went on to say: “Somewhere in my Libran indecisive mind you have succeeded in instilling in me a certain confirmed viewpoint”
At the time, my theory was that the views of EF - which seemed highly critical of reality TV - had made you decide AGAINST embarking on such projects that had been offered to you.
How wrong I was! I would be fascinated to know whether in fact our views actually encouraged you take on Big Boss…. perhaps even to confound our perceptions??
But will you ever explain?
With love and my traditional mystification, Daisy
You look so elegant and dashing in your pics!
Hi Amitabh uncle,
Looking forward to the show, all the best.
Mahesh R.
Amit Uncle,
I am shattered to hear that you’ll be associated with a CRAP of highest order called Big Boss . Its a show that has made the likes of Rakhi Sawant and Rahul Mahajan into stars. Trust me, worldwide Big Brother and Big Boss are regarded as show of people who love to gossip and bitch about others.
I hope that you will bring changes to the show. I must say I am very nervous for you and myself. But, I trust you and hope you’ll rewrite history on TV once again
Love
Ritu
dear amitji, it is so wonderful to know what is going on in your life on an everyday basis; there are so many indian actors in this industry, but you are the only one who has made the most effort to keep in touch with the people who love you so much but unfortunately don’t get to see you everyday; we continue to pray for your good health. the other day on tv, the movie shaarabi was playing on star max so was fun to watch that. hope you are doing well sir and May God continue to bless you; have you caught any of the US Open? Federer looks good as always. sania mirza lost in the second round-she got double bageled. Bhubapthi and knowles won their first round match so let’s see how far they go. Take care sir and hope to hear from you. sincerely, dr sunir kumar from pittsburgh
Dear BB,
When i read first this in news..i was thinking why does BB want to be involved with such a show. I mean lot of people dimiss it as rubbish. but after reading this..i can see that u have a very different meaning..but unfortunately..prople who see this show..see it only for entertainment purpose..like if the inmates are fighting..or if they are having disagreement or developing relations as in boy - girl. I hope this proves to be a good decision..and i for sure will be watching it this season.
Aniket.
JAI SHREE KRISHNA, MOTABHAI.

GOD bless your friendship.

Dear AB
Disappointed after reading your blog today - I dont like Big Brother and i hate it to the core, why have u decided to take part in it ? It is just disgusting to see people gossip and backlash each other. I don’t get colours channel here and i really like the channel coz they host such meaningful and thought provoking serials related to female infanticide, dowry, caste system and talent. But why do they want to show Big boss - i don’t understand.Initially when BB was launched i watched few episodes but got disgusted after few episodes and never watched it again. All the best for your venture, i hope you don’t regret your decision.
I will miss your blog very very much during the 84 days…may be you should think of dictating it live on the TV show so someone on big adda will post it /write it on your behalf and the blog will be going on indirectly. Think about it ….that way the EF will not miss you but you will miss reading what we write
You look very handsome in the pictures, as always -thanks for posting them.
Congratulations on “The Last lear” i loved the movie and your performance, especially the scene where you beg Arjun Rampal to allow you to do the last scene, it was so moving & touching.
love u loads
Vinita
Amitji,
The pictures are really good, the red looks good on you..makes you look so much younger!!!
Well Big Boss… will simply wish you all the best… hopefully we will get to see it here on one of the Dish network channels.
So does it mean we your EF would be out of touch with you for 84 days… no BLOGGING I guess. Will miss you!!!
Bena
Dear Amitji,
You look awesome in RED shirt…and a coat. Even in one of Karan Johar movie…kANK….in the song…”Baby” you were in red shirt and coat.I could have wish you to be in a tv show more inspiring and interactive like quiz show was one of them, but this is time of reality show..so i hope and wish you have taken a good decision, but i would wish you to be in inspiring and educative shows..thanks.
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
Good luck to you on your new TV show Big Boss .Wasn’t clear whether it will be shot in SIngapore or India . “Friendly philosopher ” .I think you will be perfect in that role. Good to see you looking trim and relaxed and of course ,suave in the above pictures.
Best wishes and LOL .
Hope the TV Producers should make sure that your presence should be felt in the Big Boss show…Like the unforgettable KBC (The voice) and LOCK Kiya jaaye is still remembered and missed.
I did not know that Big Boss = Big Brother. I never took any interest in Big Brother except when Shilpa Shetty was involved as an inmate. Big Brotther in UK has run past its sell by date now and the program makers have decided to axe the show from next season (I think) due to dropping audience numbers.
It is hard to imagine you to be associated with such a project but I have wished you Congratulations and will always wish well for you in all your endeavors and have no doubt that with your participation there will be that certain level of decency and decorum.
I am sure with your ‘pop philosopher’ or friendly philosopher approach, questioning and analysis there will be a massive interest and discussions at dinner tables. Above all I hope that your presence will bring about a renewed zest for creating a better society.
Rajesh
hello
why would a man of greatness such as you associate yourself with a sleazy cheap after dark show like the big boss
i beg you to reconsider your decision
Regards
Rajan
Sir,
Wishing you all the very best on this new venture.
However, am curious to know why this experiment of locking up people for 84? days carried out only with celebrities? Guess the TRP’s would not be so great if they are common people like us. But here is a humble suggestion Sir, if you are a “face” in this reality show the TRP is already guaranteed then why not experiment the show with common people or non celebrities.
I for one am applying to be on the show as one of the contestants if this suggestion is carried out. Come on, if my suggestion is going to be seriously attempted at least give me the benefit of being a part of it!
Luvs,
Harish
the pics look brilliant i guess i may be wrong you may make the show a work of class.
i guess we thought the same of kbc which without your regal presence would have been an ordinary game show but you elevated it to greatness…i trust you will do the same with this
Dear Sir,
That is good news. It is something totally different. Looking forward to the show.
With love ashna
My dearest Mr Bachchan,
I was concerned with the accumulation of criticism coming through on the blog earlier; but I’m pleased to read that you are not perturbed and quite excited about your ultimate decision. I’m not a fan of the British version of the show, I left my job there in 2005 after three years and have my reasons to question their ethics and protocol both on and off screen. However, I know Big Boss is a more recent production to Indian television and with that comes the promise of developing the concept and hopefully not repeating mistakes made by its sister shows.
Yes, the element of observing human behavior is of utmost curiosity to our race. We have an inherent voyeuristic streak that likes to feed off the interests of others and yes this can be quite interesting ‘if developed’. Unfortunately if left unbridled it is much like a visit to the zoo at feeding time! The British version employed the use of resident psychiatrists to delve into the housemates gestures and patterns, as you guessed the impact of fundamental imprisonment can wreak havoc on the individual. But it is at this point it becomes the responsibility of the production company to ensure the housemates dignity remain intact. Nobody wants to witness another persons ‘public breakdown’ in the name of entertainment, do they! Invariably relationships develop and breakdown – this impacts ratings – but the decision then has to made about how ethical it is to broadcast every detail of it! I believe reality television of this nature comes with far more obstructions than the creators had initially bargained for; therefore meticulous planning is imperative!
I have no doubt that if you are closely involved at various stages that the output will be tasteful and satisfactory! I don’t think we should be concerned with existing reputation since each show has its own shelf life!
I am very much looking forward to hearing about your experiences when you do commence Mr.Bachchan its like a little common denominator!! I was thinking earlier on that I made a comment a couple of days ago saying “I will have a word with the big boss” when you had asked us to pray for your new venture…funny.. I actually had no idea this was in the pipeline; how is that for a succession of coincidences!
I will return in the morning to tackle the media sections of the post and of course Mr. Bachchan the daggers or claws will remain poised incase of unpleasant ramifications!
Oh and the pictures…now what can I say except that I believe yesterdays “mirror image” discussion was just a little bit unjustifiable, don’t you?! I really don’t know many people less than half your age who can carry off white trousers in quite the same way you have there! Making every effort to maintain my decorum…I can tell you that are looking exceptionally well and I sincerely hope you are not expecting any of your female fmXt’s comments to be all intelligible!
Goodnight again my dearest Mr. Bachchan, … Congratulations at the end of a very constructive day: The Last Lear, Big Boss, your interviews and of course writing us this post!
All my sincere love and affection and undeniably a little flushed at the sight of you in those pictures…
Jasmine

anat magen here in israel….
As if doing crap movies was not enough, now you are doing gutter-crap TV shows. I feel shamed that you were my idol once.
My Dearest Mr. Bachchan,
Just read all comments before this one and… WOW… all I can say is, suggest you sharpen up your dagger… But I’m getting out my .357 and loading it with hollow points… I feel a battle comin’ on… I, for one, think you will BRING the class to this new show… I wish I could watch it in support of your decision to be ON it, but there’s just no way that’s gonna happen here in Florida, USA… I will be with you in spirit, okay? Sincerely respect your decision…
Someone made the suggestion and I liked it very much. It would have been great to see you do a conversational show on TV with luminaries in their respective fields. A serious set of conversations. This is really what is needed on TV. Your presence would have dramatically enhanced the appeal of such a show.
Hello Sir ,
I am shocked . You and Big Boss Nah!!! you must be joking .
You cant comparable with somebody like Shilpa shetty . You cant be a host for all no-Brainier like karishma saha and Rakhi.
Pls don’t..Don’t …underestimate your position

I don’t write to you often but today I felt the need to let you know my views on this. First of all, I didn’t like this show either here or abroad, the way its conducted is just despicable. It rings of cheapness all over. like many above say this show is for people who don’t have better things to do other than gossip and watch crap tv. only thing i can hope for you that the show when you host will bring some quality to it and the audience base changes to better intellectual ones. I guess only time will tell. Good luck for that!
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
I forgot (with all the news) , Congratulations for
The Last Lear !
Never watched reality shows , these kind of shows
are for the same kind of viewers ! I’m sure, you will
be better than everyone before you and after you !
I don’t judge your decision, you know better what
you want ! I keep my fingers cross to be the right
decision ! After I saw your pictures, I can’t recuperate !
God ! How much better you will be ? Every year you
are more beautiful than before ! Do you have a limit ?
You have a second TV offer, what is that ? It is secret ?
By the way, these pictures are taken for Big Boss ?
I hope you had some sleep with all the noise.
More love,
e.t.
No Words Sir……….. You are looking awesome…!! Good Luck for the Big Boss….!! Waiting for the season
Take care
Dear Amitabh Bachchan,
You post came later today and I am connecting a bit later.. : )
Thank you for sharing these wonderful stills of young and handsome you from the promotion !!
I like the background of masks and Church interiors and your attire..
It was also fascinating to see the point you made when taking in participation in this TV show and as I can hope from your words - giving it a new level and meaning : )
May God help you with your plans and the project …
I expressed my personal opinion as not being very enthusiastic on reality shows as such,
but I trust in your goodness, your big heart and love that you have for human beings -
and I believe in your new venture !!
I like the name of the channel ‘Colors’ and I wish all best for the “Big Boss”
and to you to enjoy working on it and to prepare well for the media battle if it occurs …: )
*
Good for you to discover and enjoy the articles where “the questioner being questioned !” : )
*
Very happy about “ The Last Lear” being slated to win the National Award for best film, English !
It is my favorite of your latest works, as also is “Nishabd”..
*
I like your phrase “a gentle patter of rain is being heard on the windows” - it is beautiful and gives such a cozy feeling.. I hope you slept well with the sound of it..
I have to go now and maybe I will write to you more later..
Thank you for your love and affection..
God bless and take care.
Much love to you.

You have remembered Day 490 and summed it up so well in a nutshell!
Amitji, can you please explain how we got it so wrong?
With love & regards,
Brenda
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
Again I forgot to ask you something.
Some time ago, you mentioned how
you are not good taking decisions for
you and most of them are taken by others.
This time was your decision or somebody
else did ? Just curios to know and see
later if that person was honest !
I stop because I’m watching you singing
in Bagban. Very nice !
Love,
e.t.
wow…thats really cool..m looking forward to see the show..
it’s been long since we saw u on a TV show..i guess now even my mom would be interested to see BIG BOSS which she highly rejected earlier..:)
My my my I thought my computer monitor was about to shatter as your stunning photos unfolded Amit ji. Ah ha now it makes sense relating to that poll on reality shows. Even though I had no particular interest in Big Brother or similar reality shows, I’m definitely willing to be one of the audiences of Big Boss cos it will star our adorable Big B. Congratulations on your taking this up. Now I guess it may not be aired here downunder but will definitely make it’s way on the net. Thanks to youtube.
I’ve got a solution to that irritating door. Just get someone to take the hinges off!! I hate the sound of squeaking doors and leaking taps so I know what you mean.
Amit ji one of those photos can certainly replace your cover page, perhaps the 3rd one. You look dashing as ever, not the slightest indication of your backpain. You have a solid straight posture. Red really suits you.
Good luck with Big Boss.
Love
Divya
Amitji,
Congrats…
BIGBOSS…mmm.. not sure about it… while the concept is interesting.. i hv seen some shows here in aus / some european… the quality of the participants.. spoil the brand of the show… i would like to see intellectuals / performers.. as inmates rather than.. dumbs..
cheers,
SaiRam…
Dear Amitji,
Congrats to you and the team of “The Last Lear” for winning the national award ( you mentioned almost!), but we pray and wish that it will. Also congrats to you for “Big Boss” show. I hope, it will not be like “Big Brother” as even though I have not watched a single show of it, I have heard bad things about it, including some nudity. I like your suits and Of course, your personality is smashing in those pics. I have not seen your recent pic (full length) until today. Hope, everything is well.
love

Pranam Sir,
Very good Morning to you.
congratulations on THE LAST LEAR…..very very happy for you….
i wish and hope you are well as i allways wish …on the up coming tv series
Thanks for sharing you look great..and elegant as always
My Dear Mr.Bachchan
I just loved your style of dressing….you are looking Smart!
Whatever you chose to do you have my full support and Good wishes….Good Luck with Big Boss!
Congratulations for The Last Lear….you truly deserves the Award!
Thanks for sharing your precious life with us!
Just thinking of Abhi and Aish….my Love and Good wishes!
May you and your friend have a Great Day!
May God always Bless and Protect you,your wonderful family and all FmXt!

YOU ARE WELL RESPECTED AND LOOKED UP TO IN INDIA / BOLLYWOOD, CONSIDERING YOU HAD A BOLLYWOOD CAREER SPANNING SEVERAL DECADES, GRACEFULLY RETIRE. AND TAKE REST UNTILL SOMETING GREAT COMES YOUR WAY
YOU ARE LUCKY, YOU HAVE PASSED THE BATON OVER TO YOUR SON, HE WILL KEEP YOUR LEGACY.
IF I MAY SAY SO, NOW REAL ESTATE IS REAL INEXPENSIVE, GET A STUDIO WITH A VIEW AROUND CENTRAL PARK IN NEWYORK. SMALL PLACES ARE EASY TO TAKE CARE OF AND MAITENANCE IS INEXPENSIVE, AS AGE ADVANCES AND INCOME DECLINES SMALL PLACES ARE MANAGEABLE
IF PEOPLE WANT TO SIGN YOU UP, LET THEM COME UP WITH A REAL GOOD PROJECT
I HAVE NEVER WATCHED BIG BROTHER OR ANY OTHER REALITY SHOWS FOR THAT MATTER
BIG BROTHER IS IN USA NOW I THINK, BUT DON’T SIGN A PROJECT JUST TO KEEP WORKING
YOU HAVE A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE ABOUT INDIAN COMMENTATORS LIVING IN THE WEST, IT APPEARS TO ME
WHEN IT COMES TO SHOWS. YOU ALL WANT TO BE IN HUGE METROPOLIS OF USA. AND THE TICKET PRICES HAVE A HUGE TAG TOO
THEN YOU GUYS COME ON TV TO PROMOTE YOUR SHOWS, YOU GUYS TELL US REPEATEDLY HOW MUCH YOU GUYS LOVE INDIANS ABROAD
DID YOU PRAY FOR YOUR BLOGGERS TODAY?
TAKE CARE.
LOL AMITABHA
Lovely pictures. You look great as usual.
Take care and will write after reading the whole post.

Dear Amitji
It will be a great pleasure to see you again on TV on a regular basis.
I wish it was on a better platform though. Big Boss is really not the type of show for your stature. There is way too much bitching and quarreling which goes on the show and you should really keep away from it.
I am sorry in advance if anyone doesnt agree but this is just my sincere opinion.
The bright side is we get to see you on TV in yet another new avatar. I hope your presence gets the show to a new level of dignity and the participants are more civilized than the ones we have seen before on the show.
Lots of Love
Rajesh
Dear Amitji,
Congrats! look forward to seeing you on TV.
Thanks for the latest photos. You look dashing and smart as usual.
Love you and good luck for this new venture.
A hug to you
Jyoti
Wish you best of luck for this yet another different role in television. We are very happy and look forward for this show. As usual, I am sure you will perform much beyond our expectation.
Take Good care…
Love,
Raja
Shri Amitabh Bachchan,
Hope you are well, well viewing the pictures posted we have little doubt you’re anything but not well.
Fantastic pictures. I particularly like the third photo where you appear to be pointing your finger at someone. Shame the picture fails to fully illustrate the gesture.
The dress sense, the attire also needs to be mentioned. Remarkable how you look so ‘ fitting ‘ in whatever the scene is being depicted. Your fashion sense I has always been impressionable.
I often remark .. maker of a man. You either wear clothes or the clothes wear you ..
Love always,
Manish Parmar, UK.
Dear Mr. Bachchan
After reading all the reactions I am asking myself why is it that we find it hard to separate the ‘man’ from the ‘entertainer’. When a person becomes ‘larger than life’ it gets hard for people to forget the man and see the entertainer. So I guess it is up to you to now project the entertainer without hurting the image of the ‘man’. A very hard task but possible….the person who came to my mind was Oprah Winfrey….she kind of entertains by making us cry with real people, laugh with real people, and get angry with real people. But we do not consider it as Voyeuristic probably because the way she presents it. If I understood your ideas right, I guess that is what you are aiming at but in a forced environment, in a social experiment setting. May be you should seek some advise from a real counselor, I know a good one very well and you have her email address and you have her permission to use it
All the best again
Lakshmi
With your permission I am going to address Sudhir
Sudhir….I get your wicked joke….it was an error, it is supposed to say “have” instead of “has”…gothaiytha? Please read the message from yesterday plugging in the word “I have” in place of “has”. Thank you

Amit uncle,
Superb photos must say looking so handsome.. I see u blushing now..
Was disappointed reading you wld be part of Big boss i haven’t seen much of these other than the big brother becoz of Shilpa episode. Big Boss i was disgusted watching a cple of mts of bikini clad women fighting and thought it was crap. Would have hoped you to be assosciated with something of class just like you are like KBC. All the best anyways. I will probably tune in to Utube to watch the first episode since u’ll b in it otherwise i have no interest in seeing how the so called stars behave infront of camera 24*7.
Sorry for sounding harsh but i somehow cdnt digest u being part of such reality shows..

Mr. B,
Really really hope it will be YOU who can bring about a refreshing change in the otherwise very boring concept of Big Boss ’cause I hardly watched it when it was aired ,but now, since u will be at the helm of affairs there is no missing that one; and my word u seem to grow younger with age !just fantaBuLoUS if that could sum it all, Mr. B, bringing that famous line to play “A feast for the eyes”.
Wishing u all success, love sharmishta
Hi Amitji,
I have a complaint to make. Your decision to host Big Boss is going to create trouble for me at home. You see, I have always been put off by the Reality shows which I have felt are pandering to the voyeuristic tendencies of some. I have always criticized my teenage daughter for getting hooked to reality shows and have discouraged her from watching them. And now YOU are planning to host Big Boss and I will be like a moth drawn to a flame and will get hooked to a show I formerly claimed to detest. And now my daughter is going to get on my case and I will have to find a way of convincing her That Big B on Big Boss is an altogether different proportion than a reality show by itself. Regardless there will be some fireworks and leg pulling ( mine to be precise) so Thank YOU very much. LOL!
Jokes apart, this is great news as the idiot box will no longer be one with you getting back to TV.. I have no doubt that you will make this show rock and you will have in me a committed audience to your show.
And many congratulations on “The Big Lear” being slated for the National Award.
Regards and Best Wishes

Hello amitabhji,
As a regular blogger and proud member of your extended family, I was alarmed to learn today of you considering to be a participant on BIG BOSS.
NO! Don’t do it you’re too big for a show like that.
I would be too concerned for you.
Please plan carefully and ensure all risks are mitigated before you enter.
I’m just a concerned EF, that’s all!
Much love as always to you and your family.

hello sir, i write on your blog first time but i read always your blog. its very learning & inspirational experience reading your blog………..vivek
you look stunning !!
Hello Sir
Congrats for the National Award for Last Lear and the pictures look really cool. I am going to be frank with you..I really dont like to see you in BigBoss as there is nothing for you to do..I would rather see you in a show where you are there most of the time….I want to see you most of the time and not just at the start of the end of the program..You are the star of the show and not anybody else..
regards
Ram
Hello
Apologies i didn’t read the whole blog just saw the mention of Big Boss. I hope and pray you won’t be part it. It is a mind numbing programme and nonsensical. In fact it may come as no surprise that Big Brother (UK version) will be airing its last series in 2010. Thank God for that!
Regards
To analyse the condition of the inmates is perhaps ‘fascinating’ to the unaffected and intact powers that stand outside looking in, but to those that go through the hell it is nothing but terrifying, life altering, and debilitating especially, as is the case in some kind of incarcerations, if they have not chosen to be in that situation or gain nothing from it other than being pinned to a dissection tray with their bellies cut and innards hanging out.
BBJi,
Very nice pics. Probably thes best I have seen in a while of you.
Yeah I guess Marketing and advertising people are some of the smartest bunch on this planet. Most strategies are driven from Marketing and it them who set the trends and what we like and dislike .. etc… for instance have u ever thought why white diamonds are considered better than the champagne(colored) diamonds ? The compnay that markets them I think Argyle had the stocks for white diamonds most and they wanted to get a competitive advantage of their own.. hence the the belief instilled in us is that the white diamonds are the best. … and many more stories.
All these concepts and all are fine but the question as a consumer I should really ask myself is ,”Do I really really need one more product ? ”
Warme Regards

I am a very big fan of Big Boss. With you, the show will reach new heights and Colors will become more colorful.
I am waiting breathlessly.
My Dearest and most loved Mr. Bachchan,
Wow…these are dazzling photos.
You look so stunning, handsome and amazing.
Congratulations on starting your new TV show Big Boss. I wonder if these masks and faces that appear on the photos hanging on the walls have anything to do with the ‘face’ of the show !!.
It is interesting to know that these shows, like ‘who wants to be a Millionaire’ and Big Brother, contain an interest in examining human behavior and that they contain this philosophical endeavors to test the human mind, its workings and capabilities when encounter challenges. But I tend to believe that the major aim of such shows is to entertain more than observing human behavior under such circumstances.
And though it is true that those participants and ‘inmates’ seek participation in these shows voluntarily and that they enjoy working in them, but I think it is still a kind of exploitative to use them in such a way to give entertainment.
I have never watched Big Brother and iam actually ignorant of its concept.
But of course Mr.B, your presence will compliment the show. And it is so obvious that you have taken your decision to get associated with Big Boss after indulging in several long discussions and talks and after making different changes to the show. I wish you then all best of luck…and I hope it works very well with you.
and also I hope I will be able to watch it.
I am sure you are well prepared to face the media people if they ever pulled out their daggers.
And many congratulations on ‘National Award’ for The Last Lear.
Goodnight,
And sleep well…
With my love…and deep affection,

Hello there, Meri Kaddoo! Took me FOREVER to get back here to you tonight!!!
It’s Friday night - and you KNOW what THAT means at MY HOUSE! So far, I have emptied the dishwasher and loaded it again (it’s running as we speak) and I have washed a load of clothes which are now in the dryer… I have paid all the current bills (Monday is a holiday and the PO is mercifully closed - YEA! - but that means bills MUST GO OUT TOMORROW!) as well as addressed 3 cards to friends/family… Sound like a FUN FRIDAY NIGHT????? no, not to me either.
Last nights movie “KABHI ALVIDA…” was bittersweet… You were simply MARVELOUS in the role of ‘Sexy Sam’, oh yes… Loved that…
I enjoyed your ‘Rock-n-Roll Soniye” song and dance number, too!
You just weren’t ‘IN’ the movie enough..I found myself missing you..
However:
Tonight’s feature in the absolutely wonderfully magical and extremely exciting
“AMITABH BACHCHAN MOVIE MARATHON AT VALORIE’S HOUSE” is…….
“MUQADDAR KA SIKANDDAR”!!!!! That title is quite a mouthful! How did it ever fit up on a marquee??? This film was made in 1978 when you were about 35ish… oh yes… this is going to be a magnificent film, I can already tell… my my my, I can hardly WAIT! Since it is a 2hr and 55min film and it is already 8PM, I probably won’t be able to finish it tonight… Know that I am expecting a whole PILE of your movies any day now from my Indian DVD vendor! CANT WAIT FOR THAT EITHER!!!! Anyway, shub ratri, meri pyaa… you are in my prayers tonight… as every night… but maybe just a little more tonight…
Dil Se Re…XXXXXXX Valorie OOOOOOO
BIG B IN BIGG BOSS! WELCOME! THE SHOW WILL ATTRACT MORE AUDIENCE
Welcome! Of course the show will attract more audience! You are offered to host the show! Why doesn’t be one of those participants? You are so transparent in your blogs fans will love to how BIG B cope up with day to day life in Big Boss house! I bet whole world will be watching! Think it over!—-jaya
I love to see you on the other side of the coin! Inside the Big Boss house not outside! It will be more fun Big B cooking, washing, and fighting with other inmates! SIR, take time and try this new adventure. I assure, you will be the winner! Best wishes—-jaya
Signed, sealed, delivered, once the official news has gone out, all pleading is worthless; all protest, but rhetorical exercise, all my staggered fellow FmXters..
Yet I still have to say I am in shock that it WAS so.
Joe.
You wrote: “to talk to the individuals and perhaps… try to discover or unfold the reasons behind the behavior of certain inmates, it would go a long way in not only giving the participants an opportunity to re look at themselves for the following week …What is it that instigates temper, intolerance, assertiveness, emotion among us and how does it get related in a situation that the show exemplifies…”
This sounds like the proverbial making of a silk purse out of a sow’s ear to me. However, “I will speak daggers…but use none” – and therefore I shall add that if anyone could succeed in this transmutation, it would most likely be you. But I can only wish you had picked a métier more worthy of your talent, your –shades of Satyam!- iconic stature. Even if the show is a big success ratings-wise, and why wouldn’t it be, that’s a pyrrhic victory if it’s at the cost of watching the lotus be dragged through the muck. So I shall hope for the lotus to remain tall and unsullied above all “the fury and the mire” of reality tv.
But, hey, bottom line is: behind all those demi-to-full-fledged-god-impossible-pedestals people are always trying to shove you up on, you’re really just a human being like the rest of us on this planet, and you have the right to make your choices and follow your path as you deem fit. You have already told us you like to weigh pros and cons, and think long and hard before you do things, so I am sure this case is no different. Therefore, although I disagree with the choice you have made, I will defend to the death your right to choose it.
And who knows? You may prove us all wrong and wronging at the end of those three months. You have done it before.
They screamed at Bob Dylan for going electric, but he never looked back. And that’s when he first swam into my ken, so that’s the Bob Dylan I love best.
Since I have no means of watching Indian TV or of understanding it without subtitles, I will not be able to be the first to eat my words if apropos, but I will do it.
Moving on to happier pastures…
I joyfully wish you congratulations on the success of “The Last Lear,” a movie I impatiently waited for months and months and more months to come out on dvd, and which was worth all the wait.
Love you for being human,
Phyllis
P.S. Satyam, I assume you will forgive me for borrowing your words, imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.
Are you time bound? You need a long break Sir! Better to get into Big Boss house and switch off from the world! Have you ever done Vipasana Meditation? You can try before you enter into Big Boss house! You have attempted and did so many news things in one life; try this new Big Boss experience! We your EF is with you! We will protect you! Be adventures and sporty! Good luck!—jaya
love the pics..u look amazingly sexy! im so glad you are doing BIgg Boss! cant wait to see u.
Valorie, your best one yet! This one made me laugh out loud!
A visual treat .. an aesthetics delight.
‘White’ is the absence of color. And , yet, a stark white background of sculpted arches and a white wall with figurines …. So appropriate for the channel “colors”. Need I elaborate more on the breathtaking beauty of the photographs….all words would fall short.
So, just a simple congrats and good luck wishes for the show.
And a double congrats for “The Last Lear”. You were superb in it and I am glad it is slated for the National award for the best film English. Strangely, Arjun Rampal is relatively new to the Industry, but by dint of his performances, does manage to pick up an award every year. And he has acted often with you.
Media.. media… media … and the eternal love hate relationship !!!!
Ok so, someone was focussing on your shoes. Yeah, we all do that and despite our queries , you never part with the secret of the source of procurement of your shoes and frames.
I saw Sarkar Raj last evening , the second time, on TV. Your son , gives his best performances when he is paired with you. He did well in Guru, but he did even better in this one. My good wishes for him too.
So cheers and have a great day, and hope that your decision to work for this show is aligned to the quality of your work. Hope your friend gets well soon and you are able to return to your soil.
Amitji,
Great pictures, you are really looking fresh, I guess the break was worth it..looks like the media has got bored waiting for you get back to mumbai, and as usually turning up in their hurds.
I havent seen the indianise version of Big Brother, so I guess it will be incorrect of me to pass judgement on this, this channel ‘Colour’ is it only within India, I havent personally heard of it, if its not available here soon, I guess I will have to be surfing the net for it..more then likely on Youtube..
Is there any other shows you will be participating in??
Congrats on Last Lear winning the best movie in english catergory, I actually enjoyed this movie, I felt it had alot of your personality within you character..
All the best always

Hey! you look gorgeous in dark suit and blue shirt.
I am sure even at this age you must be making heads turn by your presence and your height.
I love your deep voice which commands us to listen when you just say hello too.
I remember once in Chennai during lions club gathering in1982 all adults and children were very excited and when you entered Connemara hotel there was utter commotion. Each one calling out on mike lion so and so , lioness so and so, please sit down and take your seat. But none were listening- all running up to you on stage to be close to you and finally YOU got up and took the mike and said HELLO and there was pindrop silence- all just quiet to listen to your deep voice. You requested all to take their respective seats and my god! all was done in matter of minutes- such was the magic in your voice.
Thats why I like you too much when you do serious roles for the voice is your strength.
So, when you are on tv do remember to use your magic.

I could not see your Blog for Two days because of non-availability of Internet services. Yesterday night, it was hot news on TV regarding your ‘Big Boss’.
Believe it, entire Indian audience loves watching your programmes. It’s your EF who has the priveledge to know much and it’s you who loves sharing everything to your EF. We are really grateful!
WELCOME BACK TO TV AND ALL THE BEST!

Thank you.
Hi Amitji
love u ,u looking so cool
I love all those photos with your open collar
Hi Sir,
I was horrified to learn that you will choose to associate yourself with cheap shows like Big Boss. Anyways I am scared of the dagger pulled by you and your PR agency - so I will better back away and let your idea push ahead. KBC was for intellectuals - Big Boss is not exactly for them - in my opinion. May be your presence may bring some change - but I have my opinion and will stay far away.
Happy onam.
BTW, though rare but this time spelling mistake from you was bad..
” steel door somewhere slides and shuts, slides and shuts…. slides and sluts, in most irritating manner…”
Please note in third time slides and shuts…shuts is spelled wrong. May be Big Boss effect.
Good night.

Hi,
Don’t forget the dose of anticoagulant before the movie, 3 hours sitting, it’s too longer and don’t forget to move your legs sometimes :D. I say this for fun, we all know that the pitfalls of Indian films, the longest I watched is KKKG, almost 4 hours.
Otherwise enjoy your movie night, Muqqadar Ka Sikandar beautiful movie like many movies of Big B in those years. (especially those for the year 1981-1982, if Mr Bachchan movies were wines, I would say that 81-82 was a great year
Good night;

Hi
Just read your post today after gap of so many days and what a pleasant surprise … It would be such a pleasant sight to watch you again on TV interacting with contestants and the viewers. Your presence will indeed take the show to a different level which even colors would not have imagined.
My PC went through a difficult surgery process which took about a week for the process and the post operative care. Now, everything seems to be in order and I hope the problem doesn’t reoccur.
I missed reading your posts and replying it with my limited knowledge. But, now hope to be connected.
take care and lots of love as always
Naresh Kapoor
For AB,
Good Morning. I read the post last night but decided to sleep over it and comment first thing today.
If Big Boss is designed on the lines of Big Brother, I am not sure I would call it Reality TV. Its anything but real - the daily interactions of incompatible people in un-natural conditions… The voting and elimination of the participants adds further glamour to the unreal element.
1. Given the proceedings during the confinement, the behaviors of the contestants is not a moral statement by any standard. If it is called entertainment, its more wierd!
2. The mix of the people on the show is not consistent, not part of the same community. So that is not reality either.
3. If it is only a test of how immoral and eccentric guinea pigs can become in a controlled environment then this is the show.
4. In India, Prime Time TV is watched by families together. Children, Dad, Mom and grand parents if they are around. Bored, unmarried, unemployed, singles in studio flats are exceptions. So simple humor or ethical stories are more welcome - not a shocking utopia after a tiresome day!
Frankly, your involvement seems to be the only hope that it will be something much Indianized than Big Brother. Hopefully it is not another contrived attempt at morale conditioning of the viewers.
Unlike KBC, this is not about fun, GK and money. Its not about TRP and advertising revenue of the channel. Its about your credibility as an individual on a show that will be sold as Reality!
I feel, you are taking a big chance!

Sudhir
Very nice pictures, still got it. Great news about big boss it would be interesting, i am really frustrated about last lear i missed it when it was released (actually it wasnt even released in my town) now i cant get a dvd dont want to download it from internet so kinda stuck
Goodmorning Amitji,
Thanks for the beautiful pics. U look stunning, stylish, and very handsome!
Now its going to be a nail-biting wait until October. I am sure ur valuable inputs will definitely give the show a positive makeover. I just hope they choose the right candidates. I have watched a few episodes of Bigg Boss 1 and 2, and all that haunts me are the faces of Rakhi Sawant, Rahul Roy, Rahul Mahajan, Mona etc.! The pop philosopher idea sounds good…
U joining the show for me feels oddly like that steel door u mentioned, slides and shuts…slides and shuts…I’m happy I read ur post only in the morning or I wd have stayed awake all night!
I dont like the show, BUT I love you, and so I just hope that this is the best reality show Indian TV ever saw! Good luck!
Congrats for the National Award!
Thank you so much for the Onam wishes! Hope u join ur EF for an Onam Sadhya next year, prepared with love by me.
Urs,

Hi Mr Bachchan
Hope my mail finds you in the best of your health and spirits with loads of good news and new projects.
Congratulations first of all for ‘The Last Lear’ is slated to win national award for best film ,english.
And now congratulations for Big boss.Your coming on the show has created larger audiences for the show as many like me who never ever bothered to watch it shall now do it with utmost dedication.
I saw the news on Times now yesterday and my elder sis who has watched both the big boss 1,2 was teasing me that now you will have to watch it as Amitabh Bachchan is hosting it.And I was like WHAAAT..
I must say nice and colourful pics posted.Wow you look as handsome as ever.You still have that something which can give goose bumps to the new generation.I am still a bit confused as to what that mask means.
Take care
love & warm regards

Dear Amitabhji,
Congratulations to you on winning the much deserved award for the last Lear.

Loved the pictures.

rather u r looking as usual the most handsome man on this earth.
so r u going to be back for ur b’day . and please don’t repeat the last year stunt of visiting the hospital instead of celebrating ur b’day

Reaction or rejection
This time I m in b/w this puzzle
Can you pick me from there?
Can you bring me out of this ?
Respected Amitji,
U look absolutely stunning, evergeen,energetic, dashing.. ( EF pl fill the remaining adjectives … only hyperlatives allowed..Thanks!!) .. No person on mother earth can get this charm on the face..( i am sorry .. i know there are many.. but for me its ABji and ABji and only ABJi!! )
Sir u were well informed about the intiricacies of this reality show.. and i am sure u have pondered, debated and only then have taken a decision.. U surely would be expecting a lot of apprehensions from many.. The JMG (Jealous Media Group) now got lotssss to chew.. Well it was expected from ur beloved EF too that you will get some mixed bag of reactions!!!! .. and u have made enough homework for all that sir… else YOU WOULD NOT HAVE VENTURED INTO THIS.. !!! But i am very very sure that U ALONE CAN CHANGE the look, the pre-set perception (mostly negative, though!!) of people, regarding this show.. Best of luck sir for this NEW VENTURE.. !!!
You have very well observed your OBSERVERS!!!.. you know whom i am talking about!! Had a laugh at the way you have so diplomatically ‘waat lagaaya’ (sorry felt this is the best word !!) of our dear friends of the JMG!!!
“Last Lear!!!” to win the National Award.. is a suppeeeeeeeeerrrrb news!!! Hearty congrats to the entire unit
lots of love and lots of respects..
archana(bangalore)
PS: Hey sir… u seem to have come online in the morning.. did see the yellow line.. have a great day!!!
Hi Sir,
Marvelous pictures! The actions of some members of the media that you have described leave you wondering what the reason is that accounts for their odd behavior. There must be something because they do it all the time no matter what the event at hand is. Anytime there is more ‘juice’ than truth then of course the silence will be broken and we shall stand up for ourselves. Till then let us await the reactions that will unfold.
Regards and Love,
S
sir
The more of you, the better, i am very happy and looking forward to see you on BB , it will in all honest way ”BE DIFFRENT” , all the best
Take good care of yourselves, as usual you are looking Kool,so for that lots of E-hugs to you

Dear Amit Ji,
For a very very long time I have been wishing to write to you on the matter I am going to suggest.
I will suggest you to read a book titled LAL PASINA, written by Sri Abhimanyu Anat ( if I am correct) of Mourisus . I have been hoping that sme one like you will read it and then produce a befitting film on this book.
With best wishes………ajit

Nothing will happen, nor has anything happened so for;
What is to happen does go on happening:
My life is a perpetual Today;
It is forged out of the blood of
Yesterday and Tomorrow.
The guidance of life is life after death,
If die we must, then why live in fear?
When all chances of life have vanished
Why, then be determined on death, but live
The past, which has never come back;
The future, which has never been seen
For then, I may sacrifice my present?
No, that is not possible for me!

Sir,
Congrats on the ‘new job’!
I am sure Big Boss will take on a different meaning now and the puns on BigB and Big Boss will begin.
On a more serious note, I had always thought of Big Boss as a voyeuristic experiment and never really liked the show. In both its seasons I have watched probably 4 episodes all put together. Watching into other people’s lives is something that I think is unethical and TV should not be exploiting that. Hence it was a surprise when I saw the news this morning that you will be hosting Big Boss 3. I also thought that the previous hosts really had no work other than to look good and ask some dumb questions.
I sincerely hope that with you at the helm, Big Boss as we know it will change for the better and we will get to understand the minds of the contestants as well.
I look forward to the next season with crossed fingers and hope that it lives up to the hype and expectations of BigB hosting it.
With respect,
Kaushal V

cnn ibn news
Bigg Boss 3 to be hosted by Big B
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan will return to the small screen after a gap of four years to host the third season of Colors’ popular reality show Bigg Boss, a well-placed source confirmed on Friday.
” Bigg Boss is set to get bigger. And Amitabh Bachchan is going to take over as host from Shilpa Shetty, who hosted it last season,” the source told IANS.
The Indian version of the popular British reality show Big Brother, Bigg Boss will have celebrity contestants locked into a house under the surveillance of multiple cameras for a period of three months without any contact with the outside world.
Periodic eliminations will take place based on voting by housemates and the audiences.
The show is expected to go on air around December.
Big B, who had a super hit stint as the host of “Kaun Banega Crorepati” for two seasons, will be seen on the show on the days of the elimination.
The inaugural Bigg Boss show in 2006 had Arshad Warsi as the host.
Bigg Boss returns with a big bang {CNN-IBN news}
The second season of Bigg Boss is all set to hit the small screen on Sunday on Colors. Shilpa Shetty hosts Bigg Boss2 whose already been there and done that in the show’s original international version Big Brother.
Known as the Baap of all reality shows, Bigg Boss’ first season was a huge success. The drama was there for all to witness with 32 cameras on 24×7, monitoring 15 celebrities in one house for three months.
Aired on Sony Entertainment Television, the show put the channel in the race for the top spot among entertainment channels.
“Big Boss2 starts airing on Colors from Sunday, August 17 at 10pm. The house mates of the second season will be under the same roof at a house in Karjat.” says Shilpa.
Though all are curious to find out who are in the final list of house mates for Big Boss2, the names will only be disclosed once the show airs on Sunday night.
However, out of names of the house mates it has been confirmed that Big Brother participant Jade Goody will be a part of Bigg Boss2. Goody arrived in Mumbai on Friday morning for the show.
When asked if she’s excited to meet Shilpa Shetty, Jade replied, ” Yes I am, I am going to have a lovely time.”
Other names doing the rounds for the final list of house mates include - Rahul Mahajan, Shakti Kapoor, Monica Bedi and Jhanvi Kapoor.
The show has already had some amount of controversy, with Faisal Khan having gone to court demanding a stay on the telecast of the show, after his contract to be a participant on Big Boss2 was terminated at the last moment.
Also, singer and item girl Sherlyn Chopra, who was supposed to be a part of the show, is now no longer in the running.
Meanwhile, the buzz is that the second season of show will be bigger and better. To find out, tune into Colors on Sunday night.

Noble Truth - Right Understanding
The Path begins with the Right Understanding of the Four Noble Truths:
· There is suffering in life.
· Suffering comes from ignorance which leads to craving, grasping and clinging.
· We can become free from suffering and achieve happiness.
· The way to become free from suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path
What Is Suffering?
Suffering is not getting what we want. Suffering is getting what we do not want. Suffering is when things are different from the way we want them to be. Some versions of the Path begin with the statement that, “Life is suffering.” The translation that we use does not say this. Life is not all suffering. Life can be very joyful when we let go of selfish craving.
Pain and Suffering
Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional
Noble Truth - The Origin of Suffering
When we have a pleasant feeling we become greedy and want more of it. When we have an unpleasant feeling we become angry and push it away. When we do not have feelings of pleasure or pain we stop paying attention to life and fall into delusion.
Why do we respond to pleasure, pain and neutral feelings with greed, anger and delusion? We respond this way because of ignorance.
What are we ignorant of? We do not know that everything in the world is impermanent, imperfect and without a separate self. Craving never works because the things that we chase after fade away, have flaws and depend on outside conditions. When we don’t get what we crave we react with anger or retreat into delusion.
Noble Truth - The Cessation of Suffering
Is there a way out of suffering? So far the Buddha’s teaching is a bit discouraging. We have suffering caused by ignorance leading to craving. Are we doomed to suffer forever? NO!
The Buddha tells us that there is a way out of suffering. Because he does not want to create a new craving he emphasizes the term cessation of suffering. When we look further we find that his cessation of suffering is Nibbana or Nirvana.
What is Nibbana?
Nibbana or Nirvana is the extinction of ignorance which leads to the extinction of craving which leads to the extinction of suffering. Nibbana is a state of mind that we can achieve here and now in this world.

Amitji, today’s post was such a great surprise — so many nice pictures of you. You look so suave and charming. A visual treat. The backgrounds are very interesting too. Thank you for putting the pictures up for our watching pleasure.
Congratulations on the National Award for “The Last Lear”. I have not yet seen the movie, but will soon.
You seem excited and happy with your decision to do Bog Boss. I personally do not like the so called “Reality shows”, because to me, they are anything but reality. They are contrived, staged and artificial. No doubt they are voyeuristic in nature, and no doubt they cater to a certain perverse curiosity inherent in human nature. I suppose there is an audience for them, though — which in itself is sad — which is why they exist.
Now I know why there you put up the quiz on whether we like reality shows or not, and the ensuing discussion. I think the majority had voted against them. But then you are your own person, and must have your reasons.
Of course, we the outsiders — despite being your family — wonder why you chose to do this show. With your persona, you could give a new direction to TV, take it to newer heights, be a part of positive, meaningful programs.
But you’ve made your decision, and so be it.
Love and regards,
Jasmine J

Hi Amit ji,
First of all Congrats!!! to you for The National Award.
Secondly I liked all the pics which are posted as always you are looking smart and dashing.
All the best for Big Boss, though I am not a fan of that show. Saw the first 2 seasons and didn’t like it much. Not so happy either by your decision of joining your name with it. But I believe you and as you say the format has been changed and of course you know your field better than any body …………wish you all luck and hope you take the show to a all together different level.
Bye. Have a good day ahead
GOODMORNING AMIT JI.

LOOKING GRACIOUS…STUNNNNNING..MIND BLOWING..ROCKING.. OOOOOH
GREAT PICS. IM GLAD TO KNOW THAT SOON WE WILL SEE YOU IN BIG-BOSS.
”BIG-B” IN ”BIG-BOSS”
YOU R LOOKING TOOOOOOOOOO YOUNG..
HAVE A GRAET DAY SIR.
HAPPY TEACHERS DAY……..
-ROLI.
Today is a local red letter day. The festival of
the Holy Prostitute will be held at her shrine
and all young women who were married this
year will assemble there to invoke her blessings for a long
and happy married life, just as all other married women of
the locality have done before them year after year.
On the Holy Prostitute’s day all new wives put on
their bridal clothes and jewellery and bedeck themselves
in the gayest fashion and go out barefooted all the way
from the city to do homage to their sister of revered
memory. The pageant of the brides is led by elderly women
to what is known as the sanctuary of the shrine in which
the annual ceremony is held. The older woman cannot
gain admittance into the sanctuary on pain of ill-luck
overtaking their married life. In fact, no married women
can enter that place more than once in her lifetime and
entry therein of widows and unmarried girls is absolutely
forbidden. Men, however, have free ingress and agress,
this being about the only place where a mixed meeting
can be held. Otherwise, according to the local custom,
men and women have no social intercourse.
The ceremony of invocation is a short but impressive
one. It is held after the sun has set but while there is still
daylight. The young ladies arrange themselves in a circular
formation round the alter and light camphor lamps in brass
plates which have been specially polished for the occasion.
The offerings consist of saffron, fruit and sweets. The
congregation marches round the alter in a rythmic
movement while the camphor lamps are swayed in a semiecstatic
mood. To the tinkling of the bells tied to the ankles
of the worshippers, there arises a low but melodious chant
of hymns to the Holy Prostitute. When the young ladies
have completed seven circuits they prostrate themselves
on the floor of the sanctuary and in this attitude of humility
say their prayers. After the prayers are concluded, the ladies
arise, place their brass plates along with the camphor lamps
and the offerings on the altar and retire through the door
from which they entered, singing praises of the Holy
Prostitute. They sprinkle scented water and throw rose
petals on one another as they emerge out of the sanctuary.
Outside, they are met by the older women who were
waiting for their return and are welcomed and
congratulated on the successful completion of the
ceremony. There is great rejoicing and the women forming
themselves into a procession march out of the shrine
singing songs specially written for the occasion. The
menfolk, who have by now left the shrine by another door,
join the party of women and after a short period of further
rejoicing they disperse.
The origin of the ceremony is lost in antiquity. The
story of the Holy Prostitute is partially inscribed on a block
of white stone which is kept under lock and key by the
keeper of the shrine and is itself an object of great reverence.
All attempts at fixing the date of the inscription have proved
abortive and the present-day research has achieved nothing
beyond guessing what is obvious from the text itself, that
the inscription was not made contemporaneously with the
events which it records. The language used is far too primitive
to make a coherent reading and the names used contain so
many impossible consonants that the tongue cannot bear
the twist to pronounce them. The title or the inscription,
when translated, approximates to “Pious Script”. A detailed
examination of it is generally difficult because the keeper
allows “a special display of the Pious Scripts” (as he puts it)
for a price which is commensurate with the pocket of the
visitor and the duration of time for which the “display” is
given. And the keeper is very greedy, though, I think, not
without reason, because such “special displays” are his
only means of subsistence.
The story inscribed in stone has, however, been pieced
together by a local archaeologist and a translation of it is
hung in the library room of the shrine. Here is what the
inscription says:-
Our prince had fought long and fought well. But
presently he found himself outnumbered and outflanked.
Being surrounded, he had to flee for life leaving his
daughter his brother’s daughter and his sister’s daughter,
behind. The invading horde soon marched into our ancient
city and converted all women and children into slaves.
The men had fled. Three princesses whom none could
excel in beauty and in virtue found themselves at the mercy
of the victors. They took their chance and left the city. But
the fame of their beauty travelled quicker than their horses.
The victorious General and his two lieutenants soon swore
that they would capture the princesses and put them “to
use” as they said. The pursuit was desperate. The
princesses had escaped by the road which leaves the North
gate of the city and they had only ridden some thirteen
miles when news reached were married toworthy princes.
The marriages were celebrated on the anniversary of the
day on which the two cousins had fled leaving the third to
her fate. In the evening, correct to the minute of their
parting four years previously, the two princesses went to
the shrine of the third and invoked her blessing for a long
and happy married life.
In a postscript to the translation was added the
archaeolgist’s comment:-
And the ceremony which was follwed on that occasion
has been kept undefiled even to this day.
According to the “Pious Script” the unfortunate
Princess had told her cousins “When you come back in
peaceful times you will hear the whole story.” And that
roused my curiosity. Where was “the whole story?” I
asked almost everyone in the neighbourhood, including
the keeper of the shrine but no one was helpful. One
day, however, as I was despairing of solving the mystery,
I chanced upon the story in rather an accidental way. I
saw in the local second hand shop an old manuscript
with a moth-eaten binding. Being interested in antique
books I picked up the volume to have a look and lo the
book bore no other a title than “The murder of the young
woman in the shrine of the Holy Prostitute.” A rather
long and unimposing title, I admit, but, for me, it
contained a God-sent revelation. I purchased the book
for a trifle and sat down in the shop itself to read it
through. This amazed the shopkeeper but I was in no
mood to observe etiquette.
The book was obviously written very long ago, as
the procedure followed in the murder trial which it
recounted, showed. Such a procedure finds no place in
comparatively recent law. Judicial conceptions followed and
the treatment of the case as a whole showed, however,
that the book need not necessarily be centuries old. The
prosecution and the defence evidence, the plea of the
accused and the exhibits in the case, which included a
transliteration of the “Pious Script” were jumbled together,
followed by a lengthy, well-reasoned judgment. The
scheme of the book did not show whether its record was
chronological or was purposely edited for the convenience
of the reader. All the same, it made a fascinating reading.
I have since presented the book to the library attached to
the shrine of the Holy Prostitute.
For our present purpose it is unnecessary to cover
the whole ground traversed by the book. It would suffice
to give some salient extracts from the judgment. And here
they are - in transalation, of course :
The three priests are charged with the murder of
the young woman in the small hours of the morning
following the festival of the Holy Prostitute. The two women
accused were charged with conspiracy and abetment of
murder. The victim died of a stab wound delivered at the
root of her neck on the left side. The weapon used was a
dagger, which has since been recovered and is an exhibit
before the court. According to the medical opinion the
death was instantaneous. The dead body was found in a
room attached to the shrine of the Holy Prostitute. This
room is known as the sanctuary. The youngest priest has
turned an approver and the other four accused have been
tried.
The approver gives the main prosecution story. It
appears that the victim, who was at the time of murder
scarce past the age of puberty, was earmarked at her birth
by her parents for sacrifice to the Holy Prostitute. The
babies begotten by her parents did not outlive their infancy
and the unfortunate parents vowed that if this girl lived to
grow up, she would be “dedicated” to the Holy Prostitute
and dealt with “according to well-established custom and
ceremony.” In course of time the girl became propitious
sister of two handsome young brothers. Her parents have
since died.
It is alleged that a similar murder took place twenty
seven years ago, but the evidence to prove this fact is
vague and inconclusive. There is strong popular feeling in
favour of that accused but public sympathy only appears
to arise out of whimsical considerations.
On the evening of the festival of the Holy Prostitute,
the victim and the two women accused left the city through
the North gate on horsebacks and after they had ridden
some thirteen miles, they diverted their course to the byroad
which leads to the shrine of the Holy Prostitute. Near
the shrine the victim dismounted while her companions
rode away.
A short while after the victim had left the city, with
the two women accused, the three priests started from
the city, also on horse backs, to pursue the three women.
They found one of them, viz, the victim, near the shrine
and caught hold of her. She was dragged into the room
known as the sanctuary. The dagger with which the poor
girl was done to death was then in her girdle.
Being securely lodged in the santuary the three
priests started a feast of revelling. A round of drinks formed
the beginning. The girl was forced to have a sip of the
liquor. She protested but without avail. Presently, she was
given another drink and then another. Soon she warmed
up and began drinking herself. The intoxication went to
her head and she began to drink freely. The three priests
also started a sort of drinking competition. As the feast
progressed the priests handled and mis-handled the girl
and drew her out “into a mood”. Before mid-night all were
flushed with liquor. The senior priest took the girl in his
lap. She resisted but for a while only. Soon she relaxed
herself in his arms with an abandonment which was more
eloquent than spoken consent. For the whole night the
priests spared neither the liquor nor the girl. At the
approach of the dawn all fell into a drunken sleep.
The approver was the first to get up. He woke the
other two priests. The girl was still fast asleep, or, at least,
so she appeared. The senior priest watched her for some
time. Then he did some deep thinking and soon acting, as
if in obedience to some inward light. He removed the dagger
from the waist of the girl, unsheathed it and stabbed the
sleeping wretch. She gave a long shriek, writhed in great
pain and then died.
The first reaction of the priests to this foul deed was
one of horror but the instinct of self– preservation soon
guided them to hurry away from the scene of the
occurrence.
The main prosecution story is not denied. The defence
is an extraordinary one. It is alleged that the tragedy arose
out of the re-enacting of a drama which followed, in the
main, the events of which though history holds no record,
the folklore gives a true version. The victim represented the
princess who along with her two cousins, represented by
the two women accused, escaped from the city when an
invading army defeated the city’s ruler. The three princesses
were closely pursued with no honourable intentions by the
victorious General and his two lieutenants, represented in
the present case by the senior and the two junior priests. In
order to afford enough time to her cousins to escape, the
youngest princess decided to play the prostitute to the victors
to keep them busy. Without disclosing her intentions,
however, to her companions in flight, she stopped her horse
a little away from the place where her shrine now stands
and prevailed upon them to hurry away. She was soon
overtaken by the pusuers who took her to the hut which
stood nearby. There they forced her to drink and made her,
during the whole night, serve their purpose. The three priests
have enacted this part of the drama with a realism which
was brutal right from its inception to its execution. In the
morning the princess committed suicide by stabbing herself
with her own dagger.
The plea of the accused is that the whole city knew
what fate awaited the victim. The senior priest says that
when he found that the girl had not “martyred herself”, he
only did what the girl should have done herself. A girl
dedicated to the Holy Prostitute could not live and go back
to the city and thus bring dishonour on herself and the
good name of the Holy Prostitute. The terrible vengeance
of the powers that be would have overtaken the whole
city, and who knows with what dire consequences ?
The absurd beliefs of whimsical people not
withstanding, the murder is a foul one, thoroughly
premeditated and cold blooded.
I have quoted enough from the judgment. And here
is a translation of the epitaph of the Holy Prostitute:-
Hear lies the princess who freely gave away what she
prized a million times more than her life: she gave away her
chastity in order to save the chastity and lives of her two
cousins. Having given away her chastity she found her life of
no avail and she gave away her life too. Such was her sacrifice.
And indeed, what a sacrifice! Well may the Holy
Prostitute live in the memory of her people. But why a
married woman cannot enter the sanctuary of her shrine
more than once in her life beats me completely. Maybe
but who knows?

Today story {Mr. Anonymous} from Book of My Father Holy Prostitute .by P.L.Chopra”Naseem”.(1906-1070)
Residents of a city in North Western India,
which has to be nameless for reasons which
we will presently see, will, if they are old
enough to remember incidents of twenty years ago recall
that there lived a millionaire past the middle age in the
mansion opposite the main square. It will also be
remembered that one day he suddenly disappeared from
the city and an official enquiry was held to locate him. He
had wound up his business and withdrawn all his money
from the banks before he left and the mansion was simply
abandoned. The mystery of his disappearance, however,
was never solved and he has not been heard of since.
There would be very few whose memory could go
back to forty years ago still further, but if there be any
such, he would remember that the millionaire came to the
city as a destitute orphan and started life as a shop assistant
in the local confectionary, which was then a crude sweets
shop. The boy wended his way through life as a hawker, at
first of sweet-meats and then of cloth cut-pieces. He later
became a small money lender, and finally, a big seth, the
millionaire.
As a seth, he was well known–indeed, too well known
No one ever talked of him by name. He was so notorious
that any reference to him, which was necessarily by
implication only, was readily understood. If one happened
to utter the unmentionable name in the morning, or hear
it, one was sure to pass the day in utter misery. The very
thought of him brought misfortune. With a bald head and
a perpetual frown, he had a forbidding countenance. The
double chin gave him a bull-dog appearance. Fat and fifty,
he was in failling health when he left the city Gossip ascribed
many a motive for his disappearance, but gossip is
after all gossip.
The seth was a posthumous child, whose mother
had died during child birth and he had, as he used to say,
cast himself in the wide world to take his revenge upon
Nature. He had no wife, no children, and no relatives. If I
do violence to myself and disclaim to be his friend, he had
no friends either. He was a leech, who sucked life-blood
wherever he found it and was, on that score, thoroughly
hated. Money, money and more money was his only
interest in life and the more misery he spread about himself,
the more he was pleased. And so, he eked out his
contemptible existence day after day, month after month
and year after. Like a serpent, he sat on his hoardings of
gold and spat year venom, right and left. A votary or Maha
Lakshmi, he was an orthodox devotee and for him there
was no breaking away from the worship of riches.
But the change came one day and the meteor
vanished. Instead of taking his revenge upon Nature, he
took it on himself.
When he was alive, the seth had given me his
permission to give out his story when he was gone to,
what he called, the Beyond. But he insisted that no
particulars should be published whereby his identify would
be revealed. In his humility, he scrupulously wanted to
avoid his name being associated with the great work which
he had done during the declining years of his life. The veil
of anonymity has, therefore, to be maintained.
Mr. Anonymous- as we will henceforth call the
millionaire- entered the fiftieth year of his life to find himself
with money to burn at both ends but no one to burn it for.
Instead, one day, he found himself burning very hot. He
was laid up with high fever, and writhed and writhed. The
dose after dose of medicine which went into him made
him writhe more than before. The illness was protracted
and the sick man sank slowly but steadily. One evening his
condition became critical and he lost consciousness. The
medical attendant declared that the end was near.
Medicines were replaced by prayers.
And, when the signs of approaching death appeared,
a ceremonial death bed was prepared. Ganges water was
sprinkled on the floor and a bedding spread, with the
pillow towards the North. The dying man was laid on it. A
lamp was moulded out of corn flour and holy water, with a
wick of cotton wool in which clarified butter was burnt. It
was placed in his right hand, on the extended palm. The
chorus of Mantras and prayers arose. It was a solemn
occasion, all the more so for me, as I alone counted myself
a friend of the dying man. The flame of life flickered, now
high, now low, now bright, now dim, and the traveller
wavered on the frontier between life and death. We
watched life ebb away. And then, the symbolic flame
brightened up, took a big jump and went out. Mr.
Anonymous was dead. The sheet was pulled over his face.
While some people became busy improvising a bier,
some other began to talk. It was said that the deceased
was a great man in his own way. He had fought his way
through life, braved steep slopes and risen to the top. This
life was barren, though; not useful for fellow beings,
perhaps definitely harmful. Riches are after all not
everything which go to make a good life. The seth was not
a bad man. Perhaps, not very good either. Others may be
as bad as he; or perhaps, as good.
What was to become of his riches. Would they escheat
to the state? maybe, there was a distant relative to claim.
would such ill-amassed wealth bring luck to the heir? The
debtors would heave sighs of relief; let us not indulge in
sacrilege; May God rest him in peace; God is great; all
glory to him.
Among the confusion of opinions, in which I too
participated, I noticed, to my horror may God bless methe
shroud was moving!
I looked intently, unbelieving. But there it wasmoving.
In almost a trance, I saw the others also look at
the moving shroud; all speechless, all statues. Then a
woman sent up a shill cry and swooned.
Evil spirits, ghosts, dead misers hovering about their
wealth. The talk became inarticulate. The woman was lifted
away.
But the drama deepened. There was no breathing
space. Mr. Anonymous groaned and then yawned and sat
up in his death bed. Every one ran helter-skelter. There
was a rush for the doors as if a bomb had burst. The
packed room was empty before I realised it.
I stayed. I was perhaps too stunned to react even to
the reflex action and run.
But I was not superstitious. Slowly, the realisation
came to me that, after all, Mr. Anonymous had not died.
He was groaning as he had been a while ago, and, in the
f ew minutes between then and now, death may not have
intervened.
I was, however, wrong. A mistake had been made
somewhere. And, making mistakes is by no means the
exclusive privilege of the creatures of this mortal world.
Mr. Anonymous had been dead for quite a while and had
come to life again. I am quite sure of the position now: I
came to know the truth twelve years later and I will,
presently, let you know too.
On coming to life again, Mr. Anonymous asked to
know if anything had happened to a Syes of about his own
age, who also bore the same name and lived in the
neighbourhood. Someone ran to find out and brought back
the news that the had just then died suddenly, on account
of his being kicked by his horse. Mr. Anonymous heaved a
long sigh and said that it had to be so. Everyone was
amazed.
Mr. Anonymous slowly regained his health and was
up on his feet again. By and by, he wound up his business
and, as is now well known, one day disappeared into the
void. During the short time that he stayed in the city after
his illness, he was most uncommunicative as to what had
happened during what appeared to be his death.
Not very long after the departure of Mr. Anonymous,
local charitable institutions started receiving contributions
of money. The donations came slowly at first and then in
quick succession. After a while the institutions were literally
flooded with money and they thrived and prospered and
grew bigger and bigger. There was not a destitute who did
not get his food and clothes, not a sick who did not get
medical aid and not a living being who did not get his daily
needs. The money came and it went on coming. It
invariably came through post from various addresses in
Central India but no one knew exactly where it came from.
Acknowledgements sent to the address of the donor came
back with the reports that the addressee was untraceable
or the addresses were fictitious.
It occurred to no one if there was any connection
between the disappearance of Mr.Anonymous from the city
and the flooding of the charitable institutions with money.
Mr. Anonymous had too well-established a reputation for
any such suggestion to arise, much less to go round. People
were kept guessing and anyone, who even today thinks of
those days, keeps on guessing.
For full twelve years donations came regularly and
then they stopped. Some mishap occurred at the other
end. But what the mishap was and what was the other
end no one knew.
It so happened that just before when the donations
stopped, I was unaccountably seized with a very keen desire
to visit a well-known place of pilgrimage in central India.
And I went. There at the temple of Shri Narayana, I noticed
an humble, old devotee rapt in worship of the diety. I felt
I had seen him somewhere but I could not remember
where. The man was rather lean, but may have been fat
when young. He was lonely and listlese but cheerful in his
own way. Suddenly, he turned round and addressed me,
“So you have come?”
On being talked to point blank, recognition dawned
on me. There he was, Mr. Anonymous, to be sure.
“You here?” was my surprise.
“Shhh…, “he cautioned me, “It is good you have
come. I was expecting you.”
“!!!?” I asked.
“How I was expecting you is what you will not
understand straightaway. But you will realise it by and by.
I have no time to dilate upon that, as I have many things
to tell you in a very short time.
“Now, listen,” he went on, “I am to die this evening.
Today is the twelfth anniversary of the day when I first
died. Today, I am dying finally.”
Like re-projection of a cinema reel,the incident of his
death and coming back to life twelve years ago came back to
my mind in full vividness. And there again was the self-same
man telling me with the conviction of one who knew that he
was to die that evening. But I was hardly surprised. With this
man I had become surprise proof.
“I have barely half-an-hour to go and I must hurry
up,” he continued. “You remember now I fell ill, died and
came back to life. Don’t be puzzled, I will let you know
everything. You also remember how I sold up my business
and collected a few millions and how I vanished from the
city. You remember all that.”
“Well, my money has gone back to the city as
donations in charity. This morning I sent the last pie I had.
Money has had no use for me all these twelve years.
“I have only my story to tell you now. You can give it
to the world after I am gone to the beyond. but please
don’t associate the story with my name. i must remain
annonymous. I insist on this in all humility.”
I promised.
“I have spent twelve years in this temple in the
worship of Shri Narayana, living on prayer and penance.
“While all my millions went to charity, I myself lived
on the charity of the pilgrims who came here. I had changed
my devotion from Maha Lakshmi to her spouse Shri
Narayana. I was too deep in sin for the light to shine for
me but Shri Narayana, in His great bounty and boundless
money, reclaimed me. I have since then had no use for
the riches which Maha Lakshmi gave me. I only ate out of
the offerings to Shri Narayana.
“That fateful evening, you know, I was laid in my
death bed, with the lighted lamp in my extended palm. I
had lost consciousness. Everything in the room had gone
into oblivion: but through the darkness there emerged two
stalwarts in white uniform of accompanied by an officer
on a white horse in uniform white and gold. The officer
consulted a memorandum book and asked his subordinates
to take me along. They caught me by the arms and the
lamp on my palm went out. In fact, they blew it off.
“I was flown through space, higher and higher up,
and ultimately landed on I cannot say what? I could not
study the place minutely, as my stay there was very short.
It was more beautiful than the most beautiful which could
be found on this earth. The company there was very
congenial and people most accomodating. Everyone
seemed to welcome me and I was happy.
“But my happiness was shortlived. An elderly officer,
with a uniform all in gold, came on the scence. Seeing me,
he stopped.
“Who has brought you here ? he asked.
“I pointed to the officer on horseback and his
subordinates.
“My dear fellow, you have made a mistake”, he turned
to the officer I had pointed out. “You have extricated this
miser from the mire of his avarice and brought him all the
way here. He has still twelve years to run before he will be
taken to the other place. He is not to come here unless, of
course, he makes amends for the sinful life that he has so
far lived. You should have known this. In any case, you
should hurry up now. Take him again to the Earth and put
him back in his body before they cremate it.
“You have betrayed yourself to the mortal by the
mistake you have made but there is no help now.”
“You were to bring the man who bears the same
name, lives in the same neighbourhood but works as syce.
You have his roll with you and you should have had no
difficulty in locating him. Only if you had seen the lifecurve
in the graph, you would have discovered the mistake.’
“I am sorry, master,” the horseman replied. “It is really
a shame that the mistake was made. I hardly suspected it.
But the eternal conflict between Shri Narayana and Maha
Lakshmi does confuse us sometimes. Shri Narayana, it
appears, blunted my senses to retrieve this soul from the
path it was following. “But I will do your bidding in the
twinkling of the eye.”
“O.K. Hurry up.”
“Upon this, the horseman and his subordinates
brought me back, through abysmal depth, to my dead
body and put me back in it.I writhed, groaned and sat up.
You remember that on reviving, I straightaway asked to
know what had happened to the syce who bore my name.
My namesake was found to have been kicked to death by
his horse. I said, then and there, that it was to be so.”
I nodded.
“The twelve years” given to me that day finish this
evening. I have during this period made ample amends for
my sinful life. I am expecting the horseman in white and
gold with his two stalwarts to come this evening and take
me back to where I was at first taken by mistake.
“I have given you the story and you can pass it on to
the world, so that any other distracted soul like mine may
see the light and find the true path.”
“Narayana,” I said, as I could not think of saying
anything else.
“Good bye ! And may Shri Narayana be with you.”
Mr. Anonymous brightened up as the temple bells
rang and the congregation began to gather for the evening
prayers.I joined the congregation and so did Mr.
Anonymous.
It was not usual for anyone to do so, I was later told,
but that evening Mr. Anonymous went straight to the diety
and laid his head on the feet of Shri Narayana. He never
rose. A consternation was caused amongst the worshippers.
They ran forward to see what the matter was but the
devotee had mingled the self with the Self. A case of heart
failure ! Or what? I cannot say.
“Narayana ! Narayana !” The chorus arose in a mellow
chant.
The devotee was given a fitting cremation by the
temple congregation and his ashes were placed in a
Samadhi in the holy precints.
“Here lies the unknown devotee. Died at 62. May
Shri Narayana bestow peace on him!” was the inscription
they carved on the Samadhi stone.
A few days later, when I was to return from the place
of pilgrimage, I went to the Samadhi to pay my last respects
to the departed soul. It was evening. Moths were hovering
round the camphor flame which lit the Samadhi and a
nightingale was singing in the flowers, which had been
strewn all around. Peace, perfect peace reigned there.
“May Shri Narayana bestow peace on you!” II prayed.

A very Good Morning and Happy Teacher’s Day to all of you.
Sir you are looking handsome and smart.Kuchh alag hai aapme jo kisi dusre actor main nahi hai. I can not extacly express what extra ordinary qualities you have only the fans of Shri Amitabh Bachchan can feel it.
Personally I did not like the show Big boss but now if Big Boss will be hosted by Big B then I will have to watch.

Dear Sir,
You are the Big Boss in all the spheres of life and I would like you to add that magic midas touch to your new show - BIG BOSS with a difference. Why do we like a show/movie —– because some instances in these shows replicate the incidents and accidents of our real life and we feel happy that someone else is also feeling great like me. You have decided to be part of a great show as a pop philosopher or may I say Dada Muni, a very difficult task awaits you and I am very sure you will again emerge as the Big Boss. Wishing you all the very best.
NOW I WANT TO COME TO BIGGGG BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
B’COZ BIG B IS COMING
LOVE U

Jaldi aayiyega…aapka intezaar hoga.

Comment (184) Day (69)….
Dear Lion King ,
This is what I had to say before your posting yesterday but somehow kept on hold.
We have new feed about new TV show, it means news channels guys from India are also reaching to take you bite.
Otherwise how channels are pumping your bites, especially Manish could manage your interview on becoming Host for colors channel program “Big Boss – season 3”. It’s for sure this is not an old bite and you are in Singapore since last so many weeks, if I am not wrong 17th July onwards.
EFs started their own quiz show (Class) because Poll question is not been changed.
Okey, you replied 290 comments on Day 483 post till date , now overcoming your optional suffering fast.
Regards,
LOTTUS….
PS : Now , we have informations about other columnist too…..
Dear Amitji,
Congratulations and all the best to host the TV show “Big Boss 3″
Awesome pictures and you are looking very handsome.

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
So BIG BOSS it was. Now we know the reason for the questionnaire that you had posted some time back. My best wishes to you for a very successful comeback to the small screen.
The show will definitely benefit by your presence. Your name will add some class and respectability to the show, which was hitherto not the case. But I sincerely doubt whether the show will do any justice to your stature at all. All the same, I feel secure in the belief that you will not do something that will jeopardize the reputation that you have built very diligently through forty years of exemplary public conduct.
Congratulations on the award for ‘The Last Lear’.
Love,

Dear Amitji,
I have been reading ur blog of many months now… but never commented anything…. u know ur one geninune and down to earth person i have come across… sometime ur blog bring tears to my eyes with the in depth analysis of human nature and the way he/she behaves in particular circumstances…..very philosophical and yet very true….. HUMAN LIFE PASSES UNTANGLING THE THREAD OF TIME BUT STILL COULD NOT FIND THE TIP OF THE THREAD….
Dear Amitabh Zibbu
Congrats you have 9 answers right, I will not say which three are wrong.. I do not want to defeat the purpose of the quiz.. let others also do it.. let them break their heads and not be guided by our answers.. ope you would understand.. atleast one question could have been granted to you.. but you see dd not ask the building.. am I disclosing too much.. I should not.. there are two quesions of tha type.. let cnfusion be there for some more time..
Thanks to all those who have referred to my posts.. a better version of what Afzaal liked is comng up in Hindi.. avadhi.. you will need to wait.. the atmosphere is getting great..
Zibbu.. I can only design simple quizzes that also means I can only answer simple questions as well.. not the kind that Sudhir, Anshu or you design.. real tough ones.. you all are more dedicated and much more knowledgeable than the dean..

I have come back from the 3rd annual Coney Island Rockabilly Festival which takes place all this Labor Day weekend, and going back to yesterday’s blog, I was probably the only one there without a tattoo. If you thought what you saw yesterday was shocking, there was a guy there whose entire face and apparently body were covered in tattoos. His ear lobes had discs like the Masai Mara wear, he had a ring through his nose and some mouth piercings.
Unfortunately I had to leave during the fourth band because the third band, the ‘Flat Tires’ took an hour to go on due to a missing band member. I will not make the obvious bad joke about what may have happened to him.
Goodnight. I must be up in less than three hours.
Love,
Rochelle
I am very very very very disappointed and ashtonished that you are doing a cheap programme like Big Boss.Last two events of Big Boss very very cheap.They called people like Monica Bedi.They show women in swimming pool to increase TRP.Its not at all reality.It is only vulgar and managed to increase TRP.I sincerely advise you to stay away from it for god’s sake.
Vishal
A very happy good morning Amit ji, as usual , u and ur post r good 2 seee every day in the morning. i am sure u r going to erase the bad memories(if any) of Big Boss1&2, ur presence there will bring some purity and serenity to the show. hmmmm GOOD LUCK sir.and in what way u r going to change the look sir ,(may i ask u????? this ?? here???)
Hello big boss,
Knowing your unusual unprdictable and zara hatke style of doing thing I am 100% sure u will be injecting new life into this much hated show which many seem to dislike that midas touch or yours never has dailed so too this time too may it be so.Tell u again u look uber chic Mr. B ,wah kya baat hai!Subhaan Allah.

Dear Amitji,
Delighted to visit your blog after 3 sorrowful days. You might be aware of the chopper tragedy that took place in the Nallamala Forest area of A.P. that killed our dear Chief Minister Dr. YSR. But, let me tell you, when I opened the blog, I hoped to see your condolences to the people of Andhra, but was upset as there were none. Okay. It was too painful to see a pathetic ending to such a glorious leader’s political career. I always admired him, his visionary leadership qualities, and of course, his smile. But now everything came to a shattering end. I glued to the television, offering prayers for his and fellow traveller’s safe return (he was a fatherly figure to me) but they say “Man proposes God disposes”, he did not return. Now, the people are worried about their future.
Very happy to see you back on the Small Screen. And the way you presented your analysis on such programs like BIG BOSS is thought-provoking. I don’t know your co-participants will be, but they sure might have bitten by an angel. Because the aura of such a great man’s presence like you, is enough for them to learn so much. I do agree with your comments. Being together for 85 days will definitely change one’s attitude in looking at things. Shilpa Shetty-Jade Goody’s incident is an example of that. We all know how Shilpa gracefully reacted to Jade’s racial abuse. ALL THE BEST.
Love
Saritha
Hello sir,
m glad to know that u’r doing this show called BIG BOSS.

Since the time my senses started working i got to learn a lot 4rm ur discipline and the principles u hv been following so many years.

Dear Mr B,
Fabulous photos - truely awesome! Like good wine you get better, even more handsome and distinguished, each year. Haha!
CONGRATS on The Last Lear winning the national award. This film is close to my heart, next to Black (which is numero uno!). I adored your character and the way you performed it.
OK, now moving on to reality shows….hmmm… after our discussion a few days back on the Blogji on reality shows I think most of us are not really fans of such a genre of entertainment. In fact I had in my comment specifically mentioned Big Brother (the first one ever in 1997 in the Netherlands and the rest of the world following suit…. and ironically the TRPs have gone down to such an extent that 2009 will be the last BB in Holland!)
Regarding Big Boss - i no know (ha)… sorry I don’t know as have never watched it but knowing the same kind of shows in Europe all I can say is that I am disappointed in this decision of yours…. well, I am sure you will prove me (and others) wrong by making this a success but…. I wanted to let you know my feelings as I think we, Big B’s Bloggers, owe it you and ourselves to be honest, even if it contradicts your convictions or decisions.
Love as always
Dee S
Congrats for signing the BIG BOSS project !!
Although I was not much impressed by the show. All the time people were engaged in calculating their risk for going out of the big boss’s house. Lobbying, cheating, showing their personal lives……..I really don’t like the concept.
But anyway, you liked to be its host…it’s your choice.
Try to be honest with your part……
All the best

Comment (185) Day (69)….
Dear Lion KIng,
Congratulation for ‘The Last Lear’ fetching national award for best film.
All the best for Big boss – third season success , some of us don’t expect you to be a part such shows where participants use all sort of methodology to win the contest. While making efforts to do so they come down to a level which makes viewers uncomfortable , that’s why you may face criticism up to some extent.
I remember one of the comment on Day 483 forwarded by some EF from London that he wanted to retire by age of 35 yrs and would like to serve the society and you told ‘yes , it shall go back to society’. Do you really need money at this juncture of your life? And if it’s competition with someone (you know what I mean) than why you want to come down to this level?
I would like to give example of Dilip Kumar(Yusuf bhai) it’s he who never did Ad films for extra income or name or fame , once he decided that he is not going to be part of it , he followed his policies. See, If you don’t do such ad films someone will do that’s true, let them….
# 153 – Suri , # 205 - time already expressed pro & cons if you actually do this show , rest up to you.
Decision is yours and EFs are there to support you ‘unconditionally’.
Respect,
LOTTUS….
Hello! Good luck with the show!
It goes without saying that you will definitely add value to this and it will be great to watch you again on small screen.

CONGRATULATIONS !!! BIGB. Great News. seems u r very happy for “The Last Lear”.
keep it up - offcourse ur acting must have played a major role in the success.

Hello Mr Bachchan
Sounds fascinating and clever in that it is the safest position in reality TV. Jeff Probstesque.
I wish you all the best in this endeavour.
My wife loves you and we are coming Mumbai on 31st October this year for 6 days.
Is there any chance that she could meet you.
Again my best wishes for your health.

Dear Amitabh,
You won’t believe what an awesome feeling it is to hear that you are coming back on Television. It’s such a great feeling to imagine that after a day’s work, having meals, lying in my cozy bed and watching you on TV. Thanks from the core of my heart for accepting the Big Boss offer.
As you said it’s starting in October, I’m waiting eagerly for it. Please carry the same charisma as you did in KBC. I can’t forget “Adaab, Sarsihakal, Namaskar.. Main hoom Amitabh Bachann….”..
I just LOVE YOU….
TAKE CARE AND STAY HEALTHY…..

Sir,
You are just GREAT. Sorry I did not write for months but I was reading your blog regularly. I admire you very much. You are so dedicated to EF we are proud to be part of your EF. Like you have said today that, if news paper does not come for a day how upset we feel. We also feel much more upset if we do not read your blog.
Your phots in this blog was like a feast to our eyes. I have been fan of yours since my childhood. I remember I bunked my class (VI th std) and saw your movie “ZANZEER” in Bangalore in SANGAM theatre.
I think Mr.Shanker who always comes first in most of your blog has developed some software so that his pre written message is posted to your blog immediately after you post your blog on the web. If you carefully read his comments, those comments will not have any realted stuff to your post.
Regards,
Dear Amitji, Good Morning. Bigg Boss ne akhir aapko achchi tarah pakad hi liya. Hope the programme gains in stature after becoming very popular. This time the contestants will love to be with you as their anchoring mentor and hope the jappis and pappis will have more Dabur Honey in them.
Your photographs posted above remind me of my mamaji’s son. Mangat Ram Sehgal. His style and tastes were like you. Hair-style like yours suites longish ones due to height. The most important similarity was the loose white pant you are wearing in one of the photographs. He was a hobby photographer and an excellent one. Many decades ago he had photographed a foreigner couple outside gates of Red-Fort in Delhi. They were eating water-melon Indian style.The photograph travelled to the cover page of a leading Indian magazine of those days.
The story of the white pant does not end there. I was CR of my college class in the second year engineering. We had a programme organised where Industry big bosses were made to interact with students through a programme called Brains-Trust. It was a very successful programme. My cousin Mango bhaiyya had also come to Pune with his wife. He dressed me up in his clothes and packed me off with that borrowed vanity of his. Everyone from the Industry asked this student which Industry he belonged to. That day I learnt the power of clothing the naked emperor or human-being. Today your white loosely fitting pant brought back memories of 1973/74 era.
You rightly said Bigg Boss programme will be just different under your leadership. Hope you create another historic small screen presence after KBC success. It was a turning point of your life and now this programme can become turning point of TV viewership. Packaged humanist entertainment with hot bitter sweet faught contest of real life.
Hope I was a celebrity and someone would have hired me for the show. Because the real life I lead also is like that big house isolation. No TV no news papers no outside entertainment. Ofcourse my blogging is there and writing to Bigg Boss on almost daily basis unless the moderator thinks of keeping me out of the EF big house due to my pungent or emotional self centered writing. I never regret loss of my writing because I cannot rewrite what I have written once with spontaniuos flow. So no regrets if the wall/Deewar says remain on the otherside today.
My sincere regards to those who will be watching you and the programme. I will get the filtered news through my wife who will remote control the proceedings of our Big boss house. Right now also we are here in Chennai hotel and every channel is screaming your dialogues. Rishte me to hum tumhare baap….etc etc and I as usual shut from the noise concentrate to write on your suspense lifting issue of TV Anchoring. Writing on this blog 501 pataka blog is more fun than anything else. Hope I can make her happy with a few silk sarees for my loss of honey-moon time.
Have a wonderful housefull time on the Colour’s BIG-BOSSing. Let the media have stories galore and let the wheels of entertainment industry keep turning.

Dear Sir,
U r most welcome & All the very best on small screen as big boss. . . . .
Hi Sir’
Good to know that u will be back on small screen for sometime but honestly sir’ though I am too small to give any advice ,but still would like to say that PLZ BE CAREFUL as whatever I have seen of Big Boss in past is not too pleasing …I mean it was just too much drama and nuisance shown to raise TRP….I would definately not like u to be drawn in any sort of controversy due to any such kinda show.I mean you as a person are far too superior & a Clean humanbeing and I definately do not wish u to be dragged in any controversy by these Channels for their profits…
Take care
Respected Bacchan ji,
This is for for the first time that I have read your blog & this is post no. 501. I am glad to know that you are coming back on samll screen . Your pics that you have posted are very good. I have liked many of your movies espically shenshaah, zanjeer, anand, chupke chupke, desh premi, amar akbar anthony etc. &some new ones also like mohabatein , srkar & sarkar raj. Last night I watched first time Sarkar raj & I just want to say that this movie shows the best part of your acting except Zanjeer. I hope to see the next sequal of this movie too.
With a lot of respect
Your little fan ,

For AB & all my dear EF,
Archana, Lakshmi: Yes I can walk in Kannada, I can talk in Kannada because Kannada is funnny language!
My mom was from Karnataka. She was the District Inspector of Schools for Belgaum/ Hubli before her marriage. She graduated in Kannada Literature and Mastered in Psychology! She was close to Sarojini Maheshi and B. D. Jatti (who later became the Vice President of India).
She moved to Pune with my Dad after their marriage and adopted an Ordnance Factory school. I am the only one in the house who learnt Kannada. Mom stayed in Pune for forty years but could never learn proper Marathi! Instead she taught the milkman, housemaids and local grocer to speak in Kannada with her! I can remember our local UP Bhaiyya who brought milk everyday on a bicycle calling out in Kannada from the gate! Haalu togotira, Madam!
The conversations in the house were usually in multiple languages at the same time. Marathi & Hindi amongst the siblings, Marathi, English and Kannada with Mom and Dad!
I was born in Madhya Pradesh, brought up in Pune and completed my education in Karnataka, and have worked so far in Pune, Gulmarg, Ladakh, Mumbai and the Middle East!
===
Abhaya ji, kaun kehta hai aapka quiz aasaan hai? Rishte mein to aap humaare EF lagate hain, naam hain Shahenshah! Very good quiz. I will try the answers over the week.
BTW, the Dean and the Vice Chancellor are only administrators. They do not need to be masters of the subject! BigB is our Vice Chancellor here and I am sure even he has no clue about some of the questions! Dr. Anshu (Ph.D -> BigB) is surely better than all of us!
And I have a complaint to make. Someone from behind the class is throwing ink on the back of the Asst. Professor’s shirt! The laundry is refusing to take his shirts for cleaning every day! I think the name starts with A, C, J, L, M, S or V. I had installed a close-circuit camera but I was instructed to remove it by the police because someone connected the camera outlet to a transmitter and the class was broadcast live on big Boss. The police say the contents were not good for children below 10 and above 70.
===
Friend Renate at 142 has come up with a brilliant suggestion for recommending participants to AB’s Big Boss!
I support Renate if Big B is permitted to select the right mix of EF members. Renate is German, working in the US and far more dynamic than some we have seen on Big Brother! If she can speak the mumbai lingo that would add the necessary masala!
Imagine, “Kya bhidu, iss ghar mein sab thakele rehte hain kya?”
===
Finally, Sanjith, Archana and Co… Please let me be. Hasino is dillagi duur ki achchi; na unki dosti achchi, na dusmani achchi! I have untied the knot. I am happy!
Regards,
Sudhir
Dear Ab,
Nice Pics , you looking handsome, eagerly waiting for big boss.

you have still taken time to write and post the blog after a long day of interviews and meetings. thats amazing… where there is a will there is a way.

Dear Mr.Bachchan,
Your idea of getting involved with Bigg boss is quite enigmatic and its already making me excited about the possibilities of the fun that i can expect from the show.
However, as you know the celeb-inmates would be anyhow people who are controversial,dying for publicity,or even fresh-faces from down south or eastward-wile. To quiz them would be a tough job on the elimination. ALot of these celebrities cross limits during their stay in the house, and the embarassing questions have to be put up by the host i.e. You.
Though I am too young to say anything,and i beg your pardon for that. But i still want you to think of a method or devise one to get rid of such questions. As they would just not suit you at all. Something like ” Mr.XYZ, what was happening inside late night with Ms.ABC ?”
Mr.Bachchan, just not your type ! Please do something about it. It doesn’t go hand-in-hand with your grace..
And yes of course, i guess more than half of India is now looking forward to Bigg Boss - 3. I am sure You will do a good job. =] ! All the best.. for everything that comes your way..
Warm Regards
Ishana
An idea or a concept should be unique and not copied from others. Big Boss is more like apeing the west.
Photo No. 3.. Gorgeous!!!
Dear Amitji,
Its indeed a great pleasure in knowing you are going to host the Biggboss ……. The TRP going to increase……….. And congratulations for the National award being given to Last Lear………. And todays blog was more interesting to read because of insertion of your snaps in between. it made a difference sir..Take care all the best for the new show..

Dear Sir,
This is my first mail to you, dont know where to start…
Actually My complete family loves you a lot, rather my father looks like you only.
We are in to business of THERMAX products. Company situated at pune.(Hope you know)
I dont know to share or not but once i ran from my house at the age of 15 i think. I dont know where to go, so came to mumbai. In mumbai i dont know any place accept your house. So i reached there from Railway station directly…as if i know you personally…its seems kidish today. Even the taxi driver staring at me like anything. Atlast i drop dowm at your home and gone to the gaurd and enquired about you and pleaded him like anything to meet you once……but for the purpose they are there, they were fulfilling that for you.
But after 2 hrs you came out driving a golden santro and you gone in front of me. I was waving you, shouting that pl see to me.
But no problem after all you are AB. I am now married with my beautifull girl. Her name is SWATI. Her height is 5.2 and mine is 6.1. My freinds always discuss about this height contrast. So i always give example of yours and Jaya aunti.
request you to kindly reply if you got little time for me.

My dearest dearest Mr. Bachchan,
The emphasis on the endearment is to convey to you how happy I am to be here with you beloved Ones once again, after what seemed to be an unusually prolonged period of frightening, to say the least, state of affairs as regards my health. It had been brewing for over three months now, and I had been foolish enough to disregrded it, carrying on with my routines without a thought for it. Ultimately, things just closed in on me. The most worrisome was the severity of the reaction of certain drugs which were administered. It was tough and I hope I have learnt my lessons, though when it comes to spending time with you and our EF here, I have wonder….!!
Unfortunately, because my husband and I live by ourselves, there was no third person around who could have kept me abreast of what transpired here on the blog each day. But just like the good things, the not-so-good things too come to an end, Inshallah!!…and I find myself back in my chair, much to the chagrin of some of the EF, indulging in one of the most pleasureable and exciting routines that I may have followed in my entire life!!
Yes, I saw you on Headlines Today last night, speaking about your forth coming project with Big Boss. Though I have been particularly averse to this Show in the past, owing to very offensive nd unbecoming content, this time round, needless to say, it shall be a top priority! The way you have brought out the psychological aspects of it and explained what it was that prompted you to give it a shot, has completely changed my perception of it already. I have no doubts that this time, it is going to be a very classy and a very well conducted show…am really looking forward to it! I now understand why you had put up that questionaire for the EF in one of your recent posts…it had me wondering then, as to what might have lead you to talk of television at length and desire to know what we thought of the various reality shows that were being aired on the various channels! But do pardon me if I am wrong in my presumption.
Before I sign off for the day, may I Please offer my heartfelt gratitude to our FmXt who have been so wonderful as to remember me in my absence time and again, and send me their prayers, and their good wishes for a quick recovery….?
Dear Ramanathan, Pramod-1, Lakshmi Jag, M, Rose, Sharmishta, Jasmine Jaywant, Jasmine (London), Monalisa, S. Khan, Saroj, Kishore, Abhay, Tehreem, Daisy M and Daksha….
Such sincerity and affection may be forthcoming from those one has known but to receive this kind of sincere concern, warmth and prayers from those one hasn’t even seen, is something to be extremely grateful for and I acknowledge it in all humilty! This Divine Gift of friendship I shall treasure always, and I just hope and pray that I make myself worthy of it. May all of you and your loved Ones always remain safe and in good health!
Daisy, just taking this opportunity, very belatedly, to tell you that you seem to have missed my felicitaion msg for you the day Mr. Bachchan had mentioned you in his Brief when you came up with the right answer to the poll question.
My love and prayers for the others too…
Austere, Reshmi Philip, Lily D’Penha, Reeham, Gilga, Rasha Zayed, Dee, Tumpa Ghosh, Kavita, Rochelle, Bharati, Anu/Nikki, Preeti, Zhenya, Puneet, Lena, Carla, Jabela, Jazmine, Subhash, Naresh, Preeti, Bharati, Ravi, Deepak T , Raman….and all of the rest too.
With much love and blessings,

#363 Vijaya, How are u today? Have to check with Archana and Pettssy abt the whistling. In case the rockets are thrown back, we wont need to make too many! If not, banaathe rahenge! No prob!
Sirji…many congratulations on “The Big Lear” being slated for the National Award. I forget to wish you in my previous comment.
Plethora of comments against this show posted by fellow FMXT.
What I analysed and what I know about you on the basis of that I can say~
All that stands between you and your coming out as a champion is a decision.All it takes to dramatically raise your standards, work at wow, play at peak and generally be the person you’ve always wanted to become is a single decision to do so.I know you are going to execute this flawlessly until you win.
With love and warm regards,

….How could I be so foggy minded…forgive me my oversight, Mr. Bachchan, but I missed telling you how good the pictures of you above are…though in the full length ones, you do seem rather filled out…is it the effect of lack of accuracy and expertise or has Singa Pura done that to you?
Love always,
Kashmira
Dearest Mr. Handsome,
Do I need to tell you this? Loved to see your pictures and you look toooo handsome and young in your red flambuoyant shirt and ofcourse the jacket.. Brought an instant smile on my face which I am going to wear whole day. And happy to read 2 news.. Congrats for TLL and BB.. Now will be able to see and hear you for one full hour every week..
Love you
Ami

Hi Mr. Bachchan
So many happy moments on Day 500 !
The announcement of ur nxt appearance on TV screen as “pop philosopher” of BIG BOSS - 3.
Your film “The Last lear” slated to win the national award.
Thanks for the nice pics. U r looking fantastic, fresh & energetic. While the media present during the official announcement, will be busy writing their columns or editing the recorded footage you have already
given a clear picture of what to expect. And the most wonderful thing would be that each channel will show it as “EXCLUSIVE” !! The concept of “POP PHILOSOPHER” sounds interesting & novel. It would be interesting to delve into the psyche of contestants.
I just have one problem… How to manage my work timings so that I don’t miss catching you on the show. With no fixed timings & erratic schedules, its going to be a n uphill task for me !!
Take care
Love & regards
Anu Verma

Dearest sir,
I am so happy that I will get to see you more than often from oct to dec. Also I read a very interesting thing in a magazine called BTW that you are a reincarnation of the great victorian actor EDWIN BOOTH.
This is just one of the sentence of his description written on wikipedia
”SOME THEATRE HISTORIANS CONSIDER HIM THE GREATEST AMERICAN ACTOR & HAMLET OF THE 19TH CENTURY”
I HOPE YOU READ MY COMMENTS
Take care sir

I wonder how EF can write long mails . i appreciate their concern and writing abilities . Congrats for your choosing Film ” the last lear ” to act. Big Boss 3 mein aap ko dekhney ko milenga , sun kar abhi se curiousity create ho gai hai . Channel “Colours ” ka initial agenda successful raha , hope ki woh aapke aur viewers ki expectations ko pura karte huye programme design karen ge aur talented and well behaved participants ko hi call karenge . Please ask them to avoid nonsense / non cultural events as showed in Big Boss 2 .
WITH LUV
@@@***@@@####@@@*****@@@@**********
I have observed the first 10 to 15 people who comment are just too excited to comment on what you have written. They comment later.
You will rock as the reality host. Already a lot of excitement is generated.
Congrats for the national award for Last Lear.
For the last 2 days, entire Andhra Pradesh was in mourning because of the untimely demise of the charismatic YSR. He won the common man’s heart. His popularity was on par with any icon in AP. He was not just a congress leader. He represented telugu people more than his party. Thats why even his rivals like Chandrababu Naidu, Chirannjeevi, top BJP leaders, Yechury all came and signed the book. He did not divide people to win votes. He carried with him people of all faiths and people of diverse cultures within his state. He was not an uneducated politician. He was a trained doctor and served the people in that capacity. You have kind words for MJ, Gayatri Devi etc. Spare a few kind comforting words atleast for the sake of your Andhra fans.
Dear Amitji
Aj gurudivas ke esh subh din main apko hardik badhai .

Wow, you are again going to come on the TV, i am very happy and excited…..i just saw in on Zee news, they are showing it right now. mere to rongte khade ho rahe hain aapka naam sunke, aap bahut apne lagte hain ab, off course we are ur EF’s….congratulations Sir..
But we don’t have “Colors” in dubai in our cable, wondering how we’ll be able to watch ur serial……
All the best for the new venture…
Vandana Bhatt, Dubai, UAE
sir….. itz a real pleasure to hv u wid u every time….. mag god bless u wid gd health n fortune 4 ur entire life..
Hello Big Boss
That salutation suits u.. but not the reality show BIgboss… not of ur standard or dignity… If there is change in the pattern or way the show is going to be conducted… then it is fine,….but u deserve another KBC.. but not this…..
As other say.. we will stand by whatever decision u take…
By the way.. Apologise for no messages for last ten days… I was on holiday with my wife… to gods own country… kerala.. Backwaters… The resort where we stayed confirm that even u have stayed in that resort some 5 yrs back… I was greatly pleased to hear that… Had a great time… completely disconnected from rest of the world and enjoyed the time with each other…
Your pics are awesome… simply dashing and awestruck with ur pics….. Who decides your clothes and attire for the occasions…
many congrats on last liar…. You deserve it Big B….
Kudos to u…
With loads of luv

Dear Sir,
APOLOGIES!
Yesterday, I was not very sure about your doing the Big Boss, and hence wrote you a multiple of replies to pull back and not do the show.
But then, I had not read your blog by that time and was only following my own apprehensions about this show’s earlier versions…
Today, when I read your blog once again, and analyzed your point of view, I am CERTAIN that you’ve taken a VERY RIGHT DECISION in doing BIG BOSS!
The changes in the format and your role as a “‘pop philosopher’” would certainly make the show much more interesting as well as intriguing!
Am really looking forward to the 3rd season of Big Boss with Bog B!
GO FOR IT!!!!
The pictures posted above are out-of-the-world!!!!!!!!
Time spent in Singapore is showing on your face - you’re looking quite YOUNG!
Congratulations for The Last Lear!
And of course for the Big Boss which makes you the ‘pop philosopher’!
With love & regards,
Rajesh Kejriwal

Dear Sir,
The following is not an application for a job…but I must admit even to read your articles one must have good understanding of the “language” . I remember as a schoolboy in Bihar I used to read your 2 page interviews in Statesman or Times (daily) with lots of zeal and interest and now after so many years to find you on the net was so humbling…
All I can say you are a living example of the word “quality” synonymous to the word itself . Years have gone by but the richness of your thoughts and the style of your pen is still the colossal same.
May we be graced by your talent for many years to come….

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
Welcome back to the small screen!!!
Bigg Boss was never my kind of show… but with you being part of it now, i will most certainly tune in… atleast on the elimination days for sure!!!
Best Wishes,
Ravi Singh
Something seems to be wrong with the time stamp that we have on DAY 501. Please see the time when 501 is posted and the time when was it written, (taking into account the timing differences as well). Is the posting time India time or Singapore time or NY time?
Dear Amit ji
It will be a great pleasure to see you again on Small screen with a new flavour. You are a wonderful person and a perfect role model.
thanks/ regards

respected amit ji

Hmm… A, C, J, L, M, S or V…no P? What color ink is it? I dont remember doing it…I was so busy taking notes…promise!!
We are on TV?? Girls, guys, we need to give autographs, dont waste any more ink!
And sir, could u remove that paper rocket sticking up from behind ur left ear…ok…now u look fine! Sorry abt that!
‘Dis’obediently,
Aishwarya.
Great pictures. You look very handsome and younger.
Surprised to know that you will be doing the Big Boss. I have never taken these shows seriously and rarely watched them. Now that you have decided to be part of the BB, you will certainly add class to this show and change the fortunes of Colours. Looks like we have to change our stance and watch the programme. Paradigm shift.
Looking forward to the show.
hi there AishTVM, good morning, i am okay now.ususally i come out of those occassional bouts within hrs. Diversion is the technique i use at those moments. But yesterday i couldnot,somehow.!!! and today ,fresh as jasmine.(flower) thanks!!!!. sssooo where is sudhir the mastr?? u ready with armoury??????And what abt AK?????
As it is I used to love Big Boss…With you in it……………….. it’s going to be a no miss!
Dear Amitabh Ji,
Reading about your BIG BOSS publicity makes me think that it will take some one like you to push the creativity of Indian TV producers to bring something unique on Indian TV.
It is some what disappointing to see the copy cats. Even though I understand their short term goal of cashing in on something that is appealing and risk free in the contemporary era, it does make me think why can’t we have some one coming up with some Novel reality show in India. Why does it always have to be a copy ?
Is it the risk of failure that no one wants to take or is it the reluctance of BIG names who don’t want to be part of something that may fail ?
Why can’t some one think of something that can help our lovely country ? Or make difference in the lives of our people ?
Politics and Politicians are one of the area where India needs NEW BLOOD, new ideas, new principals and new people. Why can some one not come up with a reality show where the participants who have social and political skills can contest to win elections (real ones on the show but not official ones) and future MLA, MP, Minister or why not even a PM can emerge ?
Any thoughts ?
Thanks.
Respected Sir,
Congratulations for you on signing up the BigBoss. I would have wished you to do “Sach ka samna” on star plus. It would have teared all the sofas & chairs in the houses. Conagrats to you for The Last lear. I have to buy my own DVD to see this picture.
With Love & regards
Mohit
Dear Amit ji,
Aap to hamesha se hamare BIG BOSS rahe hoo..
Anyway, it will be really exciting to see you as Host of Big Boss,
Why don’t the give the voice of Big Boss to you also…
Still, we love to see u then,instead hear only.
Happy teachers day to u,Amar ji and family..
Love
Amit,neetu and Swarn
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
Great to read that you will be hosting ‘ BIG BOSS’ for Colours TV Channel. I am sure you will do a great job as usual and take the show to another level itself.
I have a request - Now that you have completed all your old assignments - Please come back clean shaven with your old suave look ! PLEASE !!! we love
you.
By the way, your attire looks straight out of your films - ‘ Kabhi Alvida …. and
‘ Do Aur Do Paanch’ ! And heartiest congrats for ‘ The Last Lear’ slated to win National award.
Best Regards,

WONDERFUL to have you back after your terrible spell of illness. The bad reactions to the prescription drugs must have been particularly worrying. So glad to know you are safe and recovered and can enjoy your favourite recreation.. I believe that in moderation (yeah right,Daisy) it can only be good for the health!
I worry though that your husband apparently isn’t trained to be your Blog monitor! Surely he can persuaded to learn this very vital role
Mind you, I do have the same problem with my cats… they show no interest in using the Mac (except as a head rubbing device) !
:)
And thank you so much for your kind mention many many days back now.. what a long time ago that seems, and how sad to think we were missing you here for such an age.
With love from Daisy
JD is very clever huh!!! she made vijaya the class monitor.. okay EF shuru hoja.. Dean will be absent, JD will be absent so.. its just masti masti and just masti… and wolf whistiling too .. Vijaya.. will treat u with lots of masala dosa.. dont mention my name to JD maam!!
haa sudhir.. mom is masters in kan and psy!! woww!!! nanna namaskaragalu to her!!!!( my pranams to her).. she made the milkman etc learn kannada.. ha ha.. so cute.. (yelladaru iru yentadaru iru.. endendigu nee kannada vaagiru
Hey and what was that clever shaayari on hasino.. let us see what sanjith has to say!!!

आदरणीय भाईसाहब
खुश तो बहुत होगे आज..
जिस आदमी ने कभी आपसे मिलने की इच्छा नही जताई..
जिस आदमी ने आपका आटोग्राफ या फोटोग्राफ नही मांगा..
जिस आदमी ने कभी आपसे पीली लाईन की फ़रियाद नही करी..
आज भाई, आज वही आदमी आपके ब्लाग पर क्विज़ पे क्विज़ पेश करे जा रहा है..
खुश मैं भी बहुत हूं भाई, आपके दरबार में इतना प्यार और सम्मान मिला है जिसकी ना मैने कभी उम्मीद की थी ना ही अपने आपको इस काबिल समझा था ..
चलो अपनी कसम तोड़ॆ देता हूं, कभी आपसे वादा किया था कि एक हफ़्ते तक कोई क्विज़-विज़ नही होगी, पर मैं मजबूर हूं, लोगों ने मुझे डॉन तो नही पर डीन बन दिया है ।
सारे कस्मे-वादे तोड़ कर मैं उस महान अभिनेता की शरण में कुछ एक प्रश्न लेकर एक बार फिर आ रह हूं, भाई अगर आपको अच्छा नही लगे तो आप मेरे उपर केस दायर कर देना, एक रिश्ता जो हम लोगों के बीच कायम हो चुका है उस पर मुझे अभिमान है ।
यह दोस्ताना या याराना तो नही लगता पर हां हमारे बीच मोहब्बतें अवश्य ही हैं, यह अपने नसीब की बात है कि हो सकत है कि मुझे जुर्माना भी भरना पड़ जाये, पर अब मैं लावारिस नही इस वक्त मेरे साथ इतनि बड़ी फौज जरूर है जितनी एक मेजर साब के पास हो सकती है ।
यह सिलसिला ज्यादा ही लम्बा खिंच गया है अब इसमें आनंद नही आ रहा, खुदागवाह है कि मैने कभी आपसे कुछ नही मांगा, चुपके-चुपके कभी खुशी तो कभी गम का इजहार करने के लिये कभी किसी और के लिये कभी कुछ मांगा भी हो तो शोले तो नही बरसाये हैं अपनी डिमांडस को लेकर ।
मन की मुराद मिलि तो मैं आज़ाद हूं नही तो मैं जंज़ीर पहनने को भी तैयार हूं, आप पर सदा ही अभिमान किया है, हमारे बीच की दीवार हटाकर अगर आप एक मौका दें तो मै साबित कर सकता हूं कि अगर मैं नमकहलाल नही बन सका तो नमकहराम भी नही बनूंगा, मै कोई मिस्टर नटवरलाल नही हूं ना ही ग्रेट गैम्बलर
सरकार के आगे देश-प्रेमी होने का नाटक मैं नही कर रहा, पर हां इंकिलाब मेरा भी सबसे प्यारा नारा है, और इसमे मै अकेला नही, अगर किसी कसौटी पर मुझे परखना चाहोगे तो मै पीछे हटने वालों में नही हूं मै एक अजूबा न भी सही, आज का अर्जुन भी न सही तो न सही मगर मेरा भी अपना कुछ ईमान धर्म है भाई ।
ठीक है अपुन एंथोनी गोंजाल्विस नही इच है तो क्या हुआ, अपुन भी साला फाईट कर सकता अपनी फ़ैमिली के लिये, अपुन का नसीब अच्छा होगा तो अपुन भी अग्निपथ पार कर सकता है पर फिर भी अपुन एक बात पहले इच बोल देता है अपुन शराबी बनने को नही मांगता, मालूम दारु पीने से लीवर खराब हो जाता है, एक बार दोस्त की शादी में गया था ।
ब्लैक हो या व्हाईट , बंटी हो या बबली, अपुन सब को आंखें खोल के कहता है कि अपुन तुमको हज़ार बार देखा है, थियेटर में देखा है, टेलीविज़न पर देखा है, वीसीडी और डीवीडी लगा के देखा, अपुन रोडशो तक में तुमको मिलने को सका, भाई, अपुन तुमको किधर किधर नही देखा, नही देखा तो आमने-सामने नही देखा, अपुन का मर्ज़ी भाई ।
गंगा की सौगंध खाईके हमहु बनारसी पान भी खा सकत हैं हम डॉन का माफिक नाहि है, कोनो अदालत कओ कओलङल है जो ई कहत है कि सौगंध खा लिये हो अब पान नई खा सकत हो, हियां हम कोनो शहंशाह की बात नाहि माने भैया, हम तो एक अजनबी ठहरे, हमका दो अंजाने ही रहने देब, हम तोहार से मिल के का करी, तुमही रोज़ मिलने चले आत हो हम सबसे ई ब्लाग पर, पर हमहु कोई इत्ते बेशर्म नाहि है भैया कि आप लिखो और हम ना पढ़िंहें, ई कैसे हो सकत है, चिठ्ठी पढ़त है तो हमका तोहार चिठ्ठी का जबाव भी देना पड़िहैं । झूठी शान नाहि बघारत है हम कोई सौदागर थॊड़े ही हैं, हां ।
जय हो राम जी की, बलराम जी की, अब हमार दिमाग में कोनो बात नही आवत है, हम का इजाज़त देईं भैया, हम चलत हैं, किलास का टैम हुई रहा है, इगारह सवाल बच्चन लोगो सें पूछने है, अरे भैया हमका माफ़ कर देई तोहार नाम भी तो बच्चनही है ।
बहुत भूल हुई गई, कोनो अदालत में ना ले जाई उहां सिर्फ़ अंधा कानून चलत है, हमार दो बीबी एक बच्चा है, नही, नही एक बीवी और दो बच्चे, अबहुं गल्ती हुई गई एक बीबी और एक बच्चा, सरकार का राज में ज्यादा फ़ैमिली रखना मना है, गुजारा हुइ जात है किसी तरह से । काला पत्थर से सर फोड़ने या त्रिशूल चलाने की अबहिन जरूरत नाहि आई है, परवरिश करे के ये ई दो ही लोगन काफी हैं, भैया हम कोई जादूगर तो हैं नाही कि बीबी-बच्चों का तूफान भी झेलें और मंज़िल भी पा लें, हम तो दो और दो पांच के बराबर हैं, पर वक्त है कि भागत हि चला जात है थमने क नाम ही नाहि लेत है ससुरा, अबहिन अलादीन को बुलाई के आर्डर देत हैं, जाओ सबसे पहले इस टैम को बंदी बना कर लाओ, फिर रिक्वेस्ट करिहैं कि हमरे साथ तीन पत्ती खेला, खेला भाई खेला, तब हम सत्ते पे सत्ता मारिहें दुनिया का सबसे ग्रेट गैम्बलर बन जाईहैं, कोई माई का लाल हमार माल को हाथ नही लगाई सकत, सिर्फ़ हमहु अपने मुकद्दर के सिकंदर है । एक गाना तो सुनते जाओ विजय बाबू ।
हमका ऎसा वैसा ना समझो
हम बड़ॆ काम की चीज़
हो बबुआ बड़ॆ काम की चीज़
कौन भला है कौन बुरा है
हमका है तमीज़
हमका..
कभी अलविदा ना कहना..

Dear Sir,
First of all i would like to thank you for regularly posting on this blog giving us a chance to interact with you. I have lot of intuitiveness for asking some questions about your past which i am writing now :
Sir,in fact i have been your admirer for a long long time. From my childhood memories i still remember when you were injured during shooting of movie Coolie.The whole nation felt a blow and every one was concerned and worried about your health.In fact my cousin sis not only used to weep but she went to a temple and prayed for you and offered bribe to the god that she would keep n number of fasts in lieu of your comeback.Since I was a kid so all this made a permanent impression on me in believing that you are a cult,heavenly figure who can never do wrong and is invincible.After that i started tracking each and every info about you.
By grace of god you made a comeback and gave several hits to the movie industry.And then you launched AB CORP,arranged a Miss WORLD Pageant but unfortunately things didn’t work financially and it was a big big disaster.I was shocked to read that all so called near and dear ones with whom you had worked tried avoiding you and such worst situation came that your house was about to be auctioned.Now this is something which is unjustified, people with whom not only you worked but made them earn a lot of money through your acted movies,how could they shirk a celebrity like you in lean times ?????????????Amazing human nature ????????????????
But rightly you again bounced back with help of some real helpful friends.And in fact after that you shut down every critic’s mouth and your celebrity status reached an all time high which is still unparalleled.Nothing could have pleased me better than seeing whole world admiring you. SIR, now i would like to seek answers to some thoughts that have been hovering on my mind regarding your lifespan :
1) Right from Breach candy hospital ( coolie’s accident) to AB Corp’s failure did you feel dejected by almighty and people around you.One day a cult figure close to being worshiped and the next day same person’s house on the verge of being put on auction.DISASTER.
2} I am sure that After you successfully came back the same people who tried to avoid you earlier during lean times might have again started hovering around you for financial gains. So did you adept policy of TIT FOR TAT or you forgot and worked with them again.
3) Most importantly i would like to know that what are your thoughts about your life’s journey especially with respect to almighty,your fans and friends who deserted you in lean times.
Sir, i know that i have asked some personal questions but it is only because i have been following all the news concerning you since long.And despite going through real harrowing times you have been able to bounce back like a real hero. So SIR, KUDOS TO YOU AND I SALUTE YOUR FIGHTING SPIRIT.
LOVE AND REGARDS
ROHIT SHARMA(CHANDIGARH)

Dear Amitji,
I was very fond of last year’s big brother. It made me realize the role of media in a very subtle way:) This year I will not watch it:) The house mates of last year was….well…they do not even deserve to be commented. But, I am happy that you will be donning the hat of BB host. Take care.

नमस्ते, चाचा अमिताभ,
यह बड़ी खबर है कि तुम टीवी पर लौट रहे हैं|
चुना नाम बहुत उपयुक्त है|
मुझे लगता है, यह एक मानव ग्रीनहाउस परियोजना है.
हमेशा की तरह हमें यकीन है कि तुम दिलचस्प प्रतिभागियों का चयन करेंगे|
इतना कुछ है कि मस्तिष्क मालिश दर्शकों के लिए किया जाएगा|
यह आपको बताने की जरूरत नहीं है, लेकिन मैं तुम्हें पता है कि कभी कभी जोड़े परिवार के दर्शकों के लिए awkwardly व्यवहार करना चाहते हैं|
सब जी आप को सबसे अच्छा,

Hope the show turns out to be even a bigger success than KBC1

Hi,
Yesterday it was a shock…I was watching cnn-ibn & it was a breaking news at around 9.15pm… I was quite aware something was in the pipeline,but…may be I have much difficulty in understanding ,& know even less how to react….
But I have strong belief in you,it must be a thoughtful decision I know..& I respect you,so I respect your decision too. But still …..I am a bit nervous….why..do not know.
ALL THE BEST from the bottom of my Heart..
Take care

***JASMINE JAYWANT*** Happy Teacher’s Day, Jasmine! It’s 6:21AM here so I have to rush off to work (P.O. still delivering mail on Saturdays, for now…) BUT
I shall return this afternoon… HAVE A GOOD DAY, MY FRIEND!!!!!
Dear Amitabh
I saw in the computer what you wrote to our group from israel. I cried from excitement.
I cant believe that AMITABH BACHCHAN he himself wrote to us.
Amitabh ..our next step it is to see you and we hope you will can. We plan to save money and to fly to India in order to meet you. I very hope you agree and we realize our dream that extend for 30 years.
Love and admire mazal cohen from Israel.
Dear Amitji,
Living out of India has its disadvantages…never heard or got to see the earlier versions of BigBoss as I now discover were hosted by Arshad Warsi & Shilpa Shetty respectively !
We have confidence in your ensuring that the next version under your care does not turn out to be a cheap gossip show, so go ahead with all our GOOD WISHES !!
Dear Sir,
I did watch Big Boss 1 & 2 (a little bit). But somehow, at this stage, I cannot imagine YOU hosting the show.
This show had alsways highlighted the meanness .. the low points of the personalities of the inmates.. And I have always looked up to you sir as OUR Ideal ..
Suddenly one day I get this news that Mr Bachchan will host the show ?? Really I am not able to digest the news at this moment !! (Pardon me if I may have offended you by questioning your decision)
Sharad
Dear Amitabh Zibbu!
I respect your confidence.. and yes.. I am not aware of the answers to none of your questions.. tumne to bhai professor ko hi fail kar diya..it is all right.. did I ever claim that I am an authority on him.. in fact I have admitted I know very little of him compared to Sudhir and Anshu and now your name has been added to that list as well.. I am sure there are many more of your kind on this blog who would much ardent follower or fan of Amitabh Bachchan sahab.. for me.. he is just a brother.. another human being who has extreme talent as an actor.. who is highly jumble and human in his approach.. who is also honest and a man of high integrity.. hsi probity is beyond doubt..
If I ever said that I have more knowledge of him than others it must have been one of those times when I was out of my senses.. I have not only little knowledge of him.. I have almost no knowledge of this fast paced world.. and science which is my field I am almost a duffer in that.. how could I then be an authority on Amitabh or Pitaamah as you fondly like to refer to him..
Zibbu you can take pride in the fact tha your knowledge has been accredited by ZEE Television.. 8 or rather 9 correct answers out of possible 11 is close to excellent grading.. I would have graded the ones who answered 5 as good, 6 to 7 correct as very good.. eight and beyond excellent and 11 out of 11 extraordinary.. I don’t know if brther himself could come to be extraordinary on the quiz.. without the help of the answers provided by you or others.. it is difficult an for me it is nearly impossible..
If you could wait for two more days.. you would know where you missed what.. I don’t want to keep you in waiting yet I have no other alternative available to me.. You have done wonderflly well is what I can sat for the moment.. good luck and love to you.. and for your information I have failed in the quiz posted by you miserably.. and I accept that without any arguments.. your questions are very intelligent..
By the way did you get to read the Hindi version of khush to bahut hoge bhaai.. did you like it or not.. everyone of us has limitations of one kind or the other.. these quizzes are not to be used as an index.. these are for fun and for exchange of information.. I have learned a whole lot more about brother from Sudhir, Anshu and now fro you.. so cheer up brother.. I want to see the pink on your face.. from your beautiful city..
Love and regards

MR.BIG B,RETURN 2 TV REALITY SHOW BUT WHEN U RETURN KBC ?
hello Amith ji,
Nice to know about ur idea on reality shows.I did watch bits and pieces of last years big boss .So are u going to be a part of it? .I’m sure u’l bring a different height to the show if ur a part of it.
as u have mentioned if any show make the viewer think and move a head,the show has done its job. But unfortunately most shows don’t.
The pics are really nice dose give an idea of how the shows gona be.
wiashing u a Happy onam .
Take care,
With loads and loads of love and affection,
kappu girl,
chennai.
Generally in such (pre-scripted) “reality” shows, participants debase themselves to great extent to get publicity. Most participants are those which could not make it big and became minor celebraties. Hope you would not have to regret your decision.
Respected and Dearest Brother

I am enjoyin the time on your blog as never before.. I have been blessed to have a possible interaction with quite a few of the fellow bloggers.. some have unforsseable passed their judgements on my abilities as too good.. I know where I stand and you do understand..
In my enthusiasm for keeping the confidence shown by FmXT I have been present on the blog for last two three days a little more excessivley than I actuallt should have been.. it is all right.. I rarely regret my acts.. especially the acts which were commited in my full senses..
It is indeed a very good step to make an appearance on the mini screen.. some have raised that it is not the medium for someone as big as you.. it is OK.. if you have done so well in the past on TV screen I really wonder what is the basis of the fellows who object to it.. due regards and respect for their concern..
Television I have always beleived could be a natio building tool.. it could easily be one of the medium where one could design and execute some well crafted scripts for the good of the country and mankind.. yet what we get to see is the serials and other news channels which beat about the same bush and do not make effort to rais their standard..
Yet despite my unhappy state of Indian Television.. I would say cricket lovers were far too happy to watch the games sitting in the comforts of their home.. the housewives and children enjoyed the highly entertaining Ramayan and Mahabharat in the yester years and not too far in the past.. your first Avtaar on KBC show was extraordinary by any standards..
I expect that I would be able to see what Big Boss is all about for the first time.. I only now came to know that this would be the third series of the show.. Zibbu are you reading this.. and yet I dd not quite like all the reality shows.. especially sach ka saamna.. what great end is served to rake up such issues which could hurt many..
I woud love to share a story of a Rishi.. The rishi in question always used to speak the truth and nothing but the truth..
One day the Rishi saw that a cow was running madly in all directions and too frightened of some inadvertent event to follow.. soon the Rishi saw a group of weird and dastrdly looking humans.. running with spears and spades in their hands.. shouting where it has gone.. where it has disappeared.. go look that side.. go and search on that road.. when they appraoched the Rishi.. they stood for a moment.. paused and ordered.. hey sage! have you seen a cow running down this road.. The rishi did not take long to understand the situation.. he too paused for a while composed himself.. his conscience reminded him of his love for speaking nothing but truth.. yet he closed his eyes for a while.. then his mind was made up.. he decided to speak to the chief butcher… yes, gentleman, I did see a cow running some while ago.. the chief asked.. then why don’t you tell us immediately or else.. which way did it disappear..
Rishi once again closed his eyes.. composed himself to give an answer.. then as if in a state of trance.. he indcated the directon reverse to the one that the cow has actually taken..
Moral: Telling lies is not always a bad thing in itself.. one must weigh the odds of telling the truth and its consequences.. Rishi who had never told lie all his life did use that moment to tell a lie.. he considered the sin of telling a lie of much less significance than commiting the crime of cow slaughter..
No, no, I am in no way propagating a philosophy to tell lies.. telling lies in itself indeed is not a good thing.. but to always tell the truth is also sometimes not entirely a correct decision..
Mai chhupana janata to jag mujhe sadhu samajhata
shatru mera ban gaa ai chhal rahit vyavhaar mera…
(Dr. Bachchan: My sincere teachers day greetings to you sir, I hope you must still be reciting the Madhushala to Indra et al.. )
छोटे-से जीवन में कितना प्यार करुँ, पी लूँ हाला,
आने के ही साथ जगत में कहलाया ‘जानेवाला’,
स्वागत के ही साथ विदा की होती देखी तैयारी,
बंद लगी होने खुलते ही मेरी जीवन-मधुशाला।।६६।
or still better
कहाँ गया वह स्वर्गिक साकी, कहाँ गयी सुरिभत हाला,
कहँा गया स्वपिनल मदिरालय, कहाँ गया स्वर्णिम प्याला!
पीनेवालों ने मदिरा का मूल्य, हाय, कब पहचाना?
फूट चुका जब मधु का प्याला, टूट चुकी जब मधुशाला।।१२४।
Please excuse me my foreign and non-hindi speaking friends.. I am not able to provide the direct translation to these two beautiful verses..
Love and regards

Namaskaar Amitji.
It would always be a moment of elation if we suddenly hear that you are on TV once again.. but this time my heart is happy but my mind says NO..Cant imagine you being associated to a show which does no value addition to society or anybodys intellect.Having seen the last session of BigBoss on On and off basis it came across as a bitchy,abusive and in parts vulgar too..Dont want to see you associated with it in anyway..
I am sure the contracts must be in place so all I can do is hope that there is something different-challenging”and interesting in the coming session.
Your fan always..

Sir, have been wanting to read your blog for a very long time, but it has been only today that i have read the entire site at leisure.
It is wonderful to have you be so articulate of your thoughts and it gives a perspective to the man himself.
My extreme disappointment has been with the fact of you hosting the Big Boss show. The show is more of failed people who will go to any lenghts to get publicity. You linking your respected name to such a show has been very surprising. Would like to express my total disagreement to this decision of yours.
With all due respects,
Flavia
Hello Sir,
Its a great news that you are making your comeback to the idiot box…and BIG BOSS is a good choice…but i want to see you again in KBC interacting with people….
But i think BB is a popular show because of its controversies…i have seen few episodes of last season…i don’t know what to say about that…full of drama…
but whatever..this time i am surely goin to watch…if you are there its automatically a big hit…i really appreciate the people related to colors,that they have acheived so much in such a short span of time and they have made their place in this competitive world of television..really they know what viewer wants and you are there…waiting eagerly for your show….
Mr. B
You look absolutely great in those pictures! Really happy to hear about your return to reality T.V, I’m sure it’ll be a huge success
Love you lots
Yerishna
hi….lots of luv….U LOOK SO HANDSOME IN ALL THE PICS….WOW ONLY U CAN CARRY THE SUITS SO WELL…..v dont get colors here but i’m gonna watch it on you tube just b’coz u vil b the host…..god bless u always………………..loveeeeee uuuuuuuu

पहले बिग बी कहलाते थे अब बिग बॉस कहे जाएंगे। एक लंबे अरसे के बाद टीवी पर आने के लिए धन्यवाद। लोग चाहते हैं कि आप हर माध्यम पर आते रहें। जैसे आपने समय के साथ ब्लाग पर आए उसी तरह आज का एक बहुत बड़ा सशक्त माध्यम टीवी है जिसपर आपकी कमी बहुत दिनों से खल रही थी।
शो का इंतजार है भाईसाहेब
as u can see we r not happy with the news of BB show
channels kept on flashing BIG B to replace arshad warsi n shilpa shetty
how insulting
we can pray 4 u
HAPPY TEACHER S DAY
PRANAAM
Dear Sir,
Today I am lost for words because whilst I am clear in my views I don’t know how I should put them across to you.
What shall I do?
Shall I…
a) remain silent and not contribute to the blog at all
b)”kill” you/your reputation with kindness by “approving” your decision and writing flattering words and praising you?
c)try to “cure” you and avert your decision by giving you medicine which tastes bitter, like a mother would give to her child?
What right do I have to disapprove your action? None. Like many others who have disapproved of this particular decision I risk being thrown out of your heart..but tell me Sir, the idol we have revered all our lives, idol whom we consider to be a Man of Principles, how can we allow him to host a show that loves to portray a slow steady decline in human standards of behaviour and an ultimate death of moral standards? (I would, perhaps, have understood had you been suffering some financial hardship). You justify it by calling it “a science of philosophy”…no Sir, that is not what it is to say the least. If this is
an “experiment” then many have already been done and assessed and evaluated and conclusions reached and an overwhelming majority disapproved of it when you had put this up for discussion. Now I wonder what was the point of having a discussion??????
Your words…”daggers shall be pulled….no problem at all…we shall put out ours as well shall we not?”…no Sir I shall not pull out mine, my seniors would not have approved of the reason behind it…I am not sure yours would have either….
I shall consider you innocent until proven guilty. Contracts will already have been signed and I wish you well. Yes…there have been a few tears today…and am sorry for my views.
Well done for the “Last Lear.”
Love,
Daksha

मेरा एक प्रस्ताव है कि आने वाले दिनों में आप Big News के फॉरमेट में न्यूज़ भी पढ़ना शुरू कर दीजिए। मैं टीवी जर्नलिस्ट हूं और एक मीडिया कंपनी में सीनियर प्रोडूयूसर भी हूं। आप कहेंगे तो मैं न्यूज़ प्रोग्राम की डिजाइन कर दूंगा। बहुत ही हिट होगा सर।
Abhaya,
I wanted to add that a short of Amitabh shooting for the film Parwana was kept in the movie Guddi by Hrishikesh Mukherjee.
Sudhir, Have you already posted the answer to your musical questions yet?
I’m off to attend a Teacher’s day programme… will take a few hours before I can return

hi sunshine,first of all congrats for the award on The Last Lear.loved the film.
nice pics,you look fab.
i respect your decision of being a part of the reality show the big boss, even though i am skeptical of the show as such. i hope your presence adds some real dignity to the show.they are certainly trying to allure more audience by adding your name.i wont question you with a WHY.ITS YOUR DECISION..i wonder what the media has to say about it.keep your daggers ready..venturing in to the human psychology/behavior,hmn!wish you good luck.
with unconditional love.

Gr8 news.Now Big Boss will enter big league of super hit TV reality shows.
Big B has created history by hosting KBC.None of the celebrity reached the same kind of success.Also these clebrities were seen giving lame excuses like the TRP during KBC1 & KBC3,4 were different.Can these guys be humble & accept the shows hosted by them were disaster.These cleberities would go to any length to step in BIG B’s show but not ready to be humble dont to earth person just like Bachan sirji.
Mark my words BIG Boss would break all the records & would rewrite TV history again.
hello sir,
your persona have been a great inspiration for every one in india . apka gir ke utne ka andaj . apka es umar me bhi chalne ke andaj,apki wo garv bahri damdar awaj, apka har kuch india ko prbhavit karta hai . muje lagta hai ki nahi pidi ko apse sikne ke liye bahut kuch mil sakta hai . aaj kal to hum log do gaante kaam kar ke hi thak jate hai par apki energy dek kar to sahi me hum sharminda ho jate hai.
waise to sab yahi kahte hai ki wo apke sab se bade fan hai .me bhi usi list ka ek chota sa aadmi hu sir .
seriously bolta hu sir jab apne apne favraite hero ki baat aati hai to mere group ke ladko me mere pali aaj bhi bahri rahti hai or uska shrey aapko jata hai thak you sir an may god give you health so u can come more and more on screen.
your well wisher

“Enter the Dragon” was cool and so was “Snake in the Eagle’s shadow” starring Jackie Chan. Finally, India: 2, Japan: 0, China: 0 and in their own game (martial arts). I feel good because I won and my current world ranking (overall): 124.
As an MBA from an IVY league school, I have nominated a few to take GMAT (including you for London Business school: #1 in international mobility careerwise and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for Paris International business school: fashion capital of world). Rest as per plan of action and on Aamir Khan’s blog.

#499 Hi Sanjith,
Tsk…tsk…late for class again. Oh! It was u who threw the ink!! I can see steam coming off the asst prof’s ears! U have had it!!
Ok, if u can teach us how to wolf whistle, we can be a little lenient abt the punishment. Lets check with the other gals…
Aish.
it hurts a lot when you are hurt, i do not know why i am thinking it, perhapses anticipating some thing adverse for you because of big boss,even though i am sure you have reasons on agreeing to be a part of it .love.
Dear Sir,
This is my first post though I am quite regular with your blog.
I just wanted to share one info. The idea of shows like big brother and survivor traces back to the 1971 stanford prison experiment of Dr. Philip Zimbardo. The experiment was meant to study how much circumstances can distort individual personalities. Pls read further from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_study and http://www.prisonexp.org/30years.htm

Mahesh

For Sanjith, Aishwarya, Archana, Dr. Anshu, Fearless Abhaya and AB Quiz Mates,
I never wear my own shirts to the class. All of them belong to the Dean. Remember that white one with the high collar? That was the one he had left in the change room when we were teaching the Vice Chancellor to swim! I hear he wore the VC’s shirt later and the VC went home in his Aladdin’s Genie outfit! Both of them caused a riot on the streets that evening!
Abhaya, I think all Dr. Anshu’s answers are right except 6. Panch lakh dialogue is from Trishul.
I am off to the Yoga training for the evening. Back in two…

hello mr bachchan,
this is again a small request for my husband omkar.. i had sent you a comment on 14th august.. asking you for a favor .. if i can get your autograph on your autobiography.. or if there was some way i can get an autogrph for him…hi bday is on the 27th september.. when i want to surprise him with it..please let me know if there is ny possibility of getting this done..just hoping for your reply..
Also saw the news of you on BIG BOSS.. omkar earlier never like big boss.. though i did.. [:)].. but with you on the show.. i am sure we will not miss a single episode of season 3 !!!!!!!
Hope you have a good day ahead!!
My dearest Mr Bachchan,
You will never know how sweet it feels to type those beloved words!!! Terrible technical problems for most part of the day, my laptop broke but thanks to insurance cover I am back in action! I very nearly lost my sanity; and if was not for the efficient mumbai born technical sales person I would have! I told him I ‘must’ connect to Mr. Bachchan as soon as possible and understanding my plight - albeit with a very perplexed look on his face, he did his best. I feel obliged to ask for your prayer for him since he is new to the UK and informs me he is lonely! Of course I suggested, as any of our FmXt would have that he come online with us immediately.. and I hope he does and that you will join me in praying that Jeevan from Mumbai will find a saathi!
Anyway to the post…. you know there comes a point at which we can be responsible for loving someone to destruction! Evidently in thinking we are advising for their betterment we are in fact imposing further selfish demands on them. We can so easily hurt one another with our opinions and without due thought to the person at whom we offload them! I have always said the expectations on you to please and appease everyone are too great, and I just hope you are able to put yourself first this time.
Nowhere in the archives of my mind usually overflowing with blog related information can I remember a discussion on Bharti Dubey. I think at some stage the print media amalgamated to become one collective menace and distinguishing is not possible! I am however intrigued to know the exact level of naughtiness her journalism exhibits and will look out for it; although admittedly I find it difficult to muster too much enthusiasm about press interviews! I like to hear the news straight from you Mr. Bachchan. I am delighted you appear to be satisfied with the various interviews yesterday though…and I won’t make any jokes about Sameer the cameraman trying to get in the “big bosses” shoes! Hehe…
I do hope you are well today and have been meaning to ask if you have made any developments with the pedometer lately? Just thinking that October is very soon upon us and after such a considerable time away from work you might need to break yourself in to some discipline ..that’s all, and your pedometer stories do add a certain fun to our imagings! : )
I might be back again, just very dishevelled by the technical disruption! I was in such a state thinking I may not be able to write to you today; I’ve neglected to do anything else!!
Looking forward to reading you later – with the hope that yesterday’s euphoria will have settled – for a while anyway!!
Stay well and in good spirits Mr. Bachchan….
All my love to you…
Jasmine

Dear Dr. Anshu
Congrats! 10 out of 11 are right.. Zibbu you can compare your answer to make a guess of where you could have missed despite being cocksure of a 11 out of 11.. and one common answer given by two of you is wrong or atleast that is what the answer I had not been expecting.. you could all be guessing which is that question whose answer does not match with what I had designed or I had on my mnd.. probably there could be two correct answer to that one question.. yet I must say that you both are nearing extraordinary status.. Dr. Anshu is nearest to it.. Where is Sudhir probably he could put things in right perspective.. we shall not wait till 7th September with 10 answers already obtained.. You can expect it by tonight before or after 12 in the night..
And Dr. Anshu did you have to refer to the answers of Zibbu before putting the Sanjog.. it is all right.. there was some ambiguity in the question the way I had put it earlier.. a time frame could rsolve the issue immediately.. I am happy for you..(both)
Love
Abhaya September 5 2009 8:02 PM
Big Boss is a cheap show. It is not a socio-psychological experiment it is a game-show. That is what has made the format survive this long and it has a very peculiar voyeuristic audience base. That audience isn’t interested in the intellectual or philosophical framework of the contestants rather it focuses entirely on the lengths these contestants would goto leave their mark in their minds. The contestants realize that big money is not to be made by “winning” the show and that the political scheming that goes on leaves everyone worried about a small life. The contestants are therefore more consumed by the thought of doing drastic things so easy to capture the minds of their audience and that once they do get voted out that little “fame” of theirs takes them towards roles that could be fruitful for a longer period of time.
That is all there is to it. To compare it to the feeling of not receiving your newspaper on time is fair enough but it isn’t really what is happening. When you don’t receive your newspaper you don’t dress down in a bikini and start making out with four different people. Nobody does that because there is no newspaper in the morning. People only do stuff like that to grab attention. Nobody falls in love on a gameshow, people who seem like they do do so because they are on television. And that is all there is to it. There is nothing more profound happening underneath this line of thinking.
Why would you allign yourself to this show therefore continues to remain a mystery for me? Perhaps it is the paycheck which you didn’t mention but you’re in no urgent need for that. Or perhaps the reasons you’ve given us are the real reasons but then that would just make you naive. But so many years in the Industry would hardly leave you naive. Hence, my greatest fear is that you’ve been misled. Or you’ve been able to mislead the producers. Sleaze is the greatest factor for the success of these shows (not just physical but mental sleaze as well). If they’ve listened to you then they might have to curtail that sleaze and the show will fail as per its standards. If you’ve listened to them then you’ll regret being a part of a show that is so cheap. Your presence will most likely bring in more viewers but I expect that to be balanced out properly. So what remains are your expectations. And our expectations. You are our BigB and not their Big Boss. Would we want to see you in a show of sleaze? I think not. But a try will be made and if the scariest fears are realized then we’ll run away and wait till the show is done.
Respected sir,
The movie /show with which you associate, touches the heart and soul of people, because its your dedication to the work, your excellent treatment to the individuals those participate (Which we felt during KBC) and above all, its You sir, because WE, your fans wanted to see you on TV since very long. The main advantage for the show is that its a show for masses.
I convey my heartiest wishes for the show, and i am quite sure, with YOU, Big B - Big Boss will surely rule the TV and will create another milestone, bigger then KBC.
Best Regards,
Jignesh
hello sirji,
SHOCKED, SADDENED, AT THE NEWS OF BIG BOSS. I watched your interview last night. i really dont understand why someone of your stature should do BIG BOSS. i shall not ask ‘WHY’? i suppose you have made the decision after considerable consideration. THANK GOD SOME OF THE EF also think that you are not suited for BIG BOSS. i know why you asked us for our opinion. but i suppose even if you had an opinion poll, you would have still gone ahead and done BIG BOSS. i am personally very hurt with your decision. i have been a great fan of yours ever since i was a kid. i am all of 39 now and mother of two grown up kids. this is perhaps one of the saddest days of my life.
CONGRATS! LAST LEAR is slated to win an award. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN LIFE. I REALLY DONT KNOW IF I WILL FIND ANYTHING INTERESTING IN YOUR BLOG IN FUTURE. I dont even know if i will respond to your post. but here’s wishing you luck inkyji. closing with a very heavy heart. GUD NITE SIRJI.
LASTLY, LET ME TELL YOU THAT YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY STUNNING IN THOSE PICS, ESPECIALLY THE BLACK SUIT BUT, I DIDN’T LIKE YOU IN THAT BLUE AND WHITE. LOOKS VERY FILMY AND THE WHITE TROUSERS LOOKS SHABBY. SORRY SIRJI, HOPE YOU WONT MIND ME SAYING SO. YOUR SENSE OF STYLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPECCABLE. THE WHITE TROUSER WAS NOT UP TO THE MARK.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS. GUD NITE.

The quiz has been almost nearing the end yet there is one question that remains to be answered correctly.. Dr. Anshu in your afterthought you have actually discovered where you have gone wrong.. rest can all now rush to the net to find the answer to that question.. maybe you guys are big fan of brother and ignored the Jaya Ma’m.. that is not fair..
Brother (AB) your dig at the eighth question.. if you remember this.. I am sure you definitely would remember.. how can you forget a movie where Jaya was in the lead role and you were there yet not there..
Just a minor correction t the area for the marraige of the two super actors.. it was skylark building all right.. it is actually on Napean Sea Road close to Malabar Hills and my question had sought the area and not the building.. hope Zibbu is not about to hit me.. for being nasty with this..
Love to all

Roughly three and half hours before I announce only one remaining answer.. I think you all did enjoy it..
Dear Amitji
WOW !!!! Delighted to see the pictures,
You look great ; ) Congratulations for The Last Lear.
Take care of yourself.

Dear Amitabh Sir, I have two requests to be made in front of you. First is please do share with us the bringing up of of Jayaji, the most spontaneous actress I have ever watched enacting. Please do share with us about her parents and siblings. We know less about herself. The next thing is Sir, please let us know how you prepare yourself before any scene. This you have never shared with us. Please do not be modest and let us know how you prepare for the intense roles and what you do before every shot. I have read that you prepare a lot befor every scene by rehearsing many times and finish off the shot in one take. Please share with us Sir. Regards: Mukesh
An old man and woman hate each other, but remain married for years.
During their shouting fights, the old man constantly warns his wife, “If I die first, I will dig my way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!”
One day, the man abruptly dies. After the burial, the wife goes straight to the local bar and begins to party. Her friends ask if she isn’t worried about her husband digging himself out of the grave.
The wife smiles, “Let the old bugger dig. I had buried him upside down!”
Dear Jaya Madam (Jaya Bachchan nee Jaya Bhaduri.. nee Guddi)
How are you doing!
You see a question I asked about you remains unanswered.. I have even asked brother to take a dig at that.. what about you.. do you remember the film where you both were part of the movie yet he did not act there.. you saythat is easy.. maybe it is easy as you were part of it.. a beautiful movie.. that my younger sister Rajyashree’s most favourite movie.. (Hint it had Sir Harindranath C. in it..) I think I have disclosed the answer already to the large community who were struggling..
You can attempt the quiz.. I hope you would enjoy it..
Love and regards to you ma’m

Hello amitji,
sorry, just saw your comment on day 483 where you said “i hope i can never disappoint you”. but you just did by accepting BIG BOSS! BYE FOR NOW. Have to go now cos i dont want to miss the movie SHARAABI where a certain Mr.Bachchan is doing a comical scene. THANKS FOR THE COMMENT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. LOVE U LOTS SIRJI. DO TAKE CARE.

Dear Mr B,
Somehow I am not too happy with you hosting Big Boss 3. The behaviour of the paticipants last season is reason enough. Anyway now that you have signed up all I can do is wish you luck.
Lovely pics above. Love the ones with the masks on the wall. I am very fond of cellecting masks so the pic caught my attention more than any other.
Will be great to see you back on the small screen after such a long gap.

Dearest Mr B,
Only one question.. How do we get to see Big Boss here in the USA?? I do have Dish network.. but we dont get Colors channel!! Any plans of releasing these episodes on DVD?? Or maybe Colors can team up with Dish Network for us to be able to have access to this channel..
Your pics are awesome.. Eagerly awaiting your new films..
Don’t u get tired of answering the same questions by the media before every press release?? They somehow seem to be more interested in asking you questions on your personal life rather than the product that is being promoted… isn’t it hard NOT to show your irritation/ displeasure and to reply with a semblance of a sarcastic smile/ grimace?? I wonder what makes them think that you would bare their soul to them at a public moment like that???
Anyways, glad that you will be on TV again..
take care.. Love as always,
Archana Detroit.
Best of luck for Bigg Boss.
Oh thanks Sudhir!
Your participation helped my marking..
Not happy t know tha I overlooked a wrong answer from D. Anshu.. yu are right it is from Trishul.. so she too has only 9 out of 11 and you would be put at 10 out of 11 as you suggest that she is right in all her other answers.. yu tp the list right now.. unless brother (AB) and or jaya ma’m provided the crucial answer .. Guddi obviously is not the right answer.. that everyone would be knowing by now for sure..
Hope to announce it after a while.. in case my home PC or rather net is working.. this MTNL things give undue trouble.. kabhi phone na chalta hai.. kabhi triband to kabhi-kabhi mera PC bhi dokha de jaata hai..
Love to all

Hey Hey AB ji ,I mean this is one haluwa news in really long time.
This is such an pleasant surprise.
I’m thrilled.
This is such an Mind blowing combination of AB ji and BB.
I just can not wait for the October this year.
Lots of Love & Regards
Dear Sir ,
I heard about Big Boss -3 . But we would like you to see on an intelectual show rather a stupid show like “Big Boss”. I have never seen this and not sure who watch this one . I can only suggest that you should keep away from Big Boss and leave it people like Shilpa shetty or Arshad .

Ahhhh!!! These teachers seem to be bigger pranksters than us! Yeh swimming classes kahaan se aagaye?? This asst prof is bunking too many classes. He definitely has to treat us tonight…no dhaba, only 5-star khana! Sanjith can give us our gifts over dinner!
Since I did my entire schooling in Dubai, I think i can send a search party to all yoga centers right away. Better make a few calls!! Asst profji, u are cornered, better do extra breathing exercises!
Aish.
Sir,
what is your opinion about racism?.indians are suffering in america
and gulf cuntries
Hi Mr B,
You are doing Big Boss….? wonder why you chose that above all else!!
You must have your reasons, or else, hope Big Boss is undergoing a complete makeover.
Not in my wildest dreams did I expect you to join the reality show bandwagon.
All the best, nevertheless..
Wish you had done a poll on this one..

Do you mean Bawarchi… where Amitji didn’t act but plays the narrator?
Anshu
Dear Abhaya and Sudhir,
My teachers always taught me that haste makes waste. I had one eye on the appointment that I had to keep and one eye on my computer and everything went kaput! And I realized my idiotic typo just now. That answer had already been given by Zibbu and I just had to write the ones where I differed. I was thinking Trishul and typing Don! No that is no excuse!
BTW, why can’t Guddi be the right answer also, he wasn’t part of the film.
Anshu

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
Congratulations for the nomination for the national award , for the film “The Last Lear” . Your charakter role as “Harish Mishra ” was simply superb !!! ..it is for you Sir certainly again a great honour.
Many thanks for the gorgeous pictures, red is your colour (Well, actually every colour) Sir, you simply look breathtaking !
What for great news from you, reality TV, “BIG BOSS” certainly a challenge for you.
I can make no judgment on “Big brother” of other countries.
But in the German version, is absent absolutely , decency and decorum. In moment shall new candidates to searched.
Unfortunately the level has become always lower from season to season.
But this is only my opinion, and only for the German edition.
I think your presence can cause something special. Ohhh I wished can see in Germany too .
affection and Love always
Carla
Dear Amitg,
Welcome back to small screen….we are very happy that u will appear in BIG BOSS…..
Love u…
Regards,
Naresh Sharma
Dear Amit jee,
The announcement is SHOCKING to say the least ! I hope they improve the class of the show by leaps and bounds to even bring it to your level. I can’t imagine how they will do it as the show is based on pettiness of human nature and appeals to our lesser, baser self. Anyway sir, I have a lot of faith in you, your taste and abilities, so I can say with confidence that it is the best thing that could have happened to a program like BIG BOSS. Not sure if I can say the same about you. The show has nothing to give to you, only receive.
I wish you all the best. I hope you accomplish what you have set out to accomplish and it makes you happy.
Love
-pratima
One more thing Sir…. STUNNING pictures. Love the red shirt on you. And you take white high collars to new heights. VERY HOT !!
Hey Amit-Jee
* do ‘reality shows’ attract your attention
* what is it that makes it compulsive to view, if at all it attracts your attention
* is it the frivolous and titillating nature of the content that interests you
* if not ‘reality’ what other kind would you prefer to watch
* is the idea of something moral as content interest you or
* moral and entertaining
* should celebrities be an essential part of such entertainment, or not
* has the concept of the reality show been beaten to death
* and if so why is it that they still attract the maximum eye balls
So now we know where all these pointed questions were leading to!!
We do know you will do more then full justice to what you decide to take on and bring your own unique flavour to whatever you do, All said and done I have only ONe Question to the numerous you posed before us.
Are you absolutely totally doubly sure??
Health and happiness and Prayers always…. NIna
oh….the philosophy! how one wish only words are enough for life…Mr. Bachchan, life is way too real to live by words alone…you are going to be a pop philosopher on a 3rd grade show…have you started falling down from the cliff yet?
may God bless you….
Reshmi

Your capacity to extemporize on any subject matter at all is amazing. I am some one who finds it difficult to verbalize even everyday mundane things.
Your descriptions of the journalists was very funny. What a host of characters!
Thank you for the belated Onam wishes. Happy Onam to you too.
And, Congratulations on the award for ‘The Last Lear’!
Love..

Congrats on King Lear’s national award. Good u r enjoying ur stay in Spore. BUt ur decision to do Big Boss, I m not very happy, i was infact shocked that u agreed to do this show. A man of ur status, the living legend acting in shows like big boss . But if u have made ur mind, I will look forward to see it, hope it makes the show decent and ur colleagues are decent enough to be with u in the show, sometimes the show is a skin show.
But plzzz do consider ur decision. U R the best in the status of stars, the highest , the others in the show are c grade acors
Do take care
May God bless u with more and more of his blessings (best of them)
Love u always

dear Mr Amitabh,
nice to see you on your blog, you are as handsome as you were in Lawaris,It’s good to praise the Firang nations, Singapore has set a record in itself for being most neat, clean honest , discipiled country in the World I agree with you, the change is very clearly visible: even Vienna ( Austrian capital ) has the same Giant Wheel in Prater Amusement park. you must have visited? When will we be able to talk big about our own country? Delhi’s only amusement park Appu Ghar closed down.The city has become from bad to worse ; How & when will we be proud of our own Bharat desh? your comments please….
dear Amitji,
Nice to see you on your blog, I am first time on this site. Its great to read about Singapore City, It is most neat, clean discipiled,pollution free corruption free country. Everytime you go you find the change for good. here is saadi Dilli becoming from bad to worse, forget about Giant wheel , only amusement park Appu Ghar is closed down. Veinna has same huge Giant Wheel in Prater Amusemnet park. When will we be pourdly able to talk big about our Nation Bharat— your comments pl. with love from Delhi, Vimal Bhalla
Dear Sir,
I am a big fan of you, i am a 26 years old engineer working in Singapore. I want to meet you and talk to you. I know you have a busy schedule but hope you will fulfill this fan’s small wish. I am working at Millenia Tower. Thanks a lot in advance.

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
We as your EF have no right in denying you to do any show, film etc. but as your well wishing Extended Family, we hope you re-consider and not take on the BIG BOSS assignment. You are way better than this show and we prefer you in AWESOME ROLES on the BIG SCREEN.

dear amitji
ahem… dont really know what to say…..
you hosting KBC was a treat to all we fans of yours. you did it with style and aplomb and i am very sure that you will add that dash of yours in big boss too..
but having watched quite a few episodes of the same, i feel the show is just not up to the mark. it really feels sometimes one is watching a very well rehearsed drama and to be honest nautanki…it may be a very harsh word but truly speaking i feel the show takes audience’s primary iq level for granted or considers that audience doesnt really have an iq. we as an audience end up feeling that most of the incidents that happen on reality shows are pre-decided.
it is something like the WWF wrestling. most of my friends stopped watching the matches when they came to know that the results were predecided.
you coming on the show is definitely going to make people switch to colors channel no doubt, but i feel you can definitely add much more than that. with your grace and dignity you would be making a lot of difference in the viewership and mindsets of the audience for sure.
with your participation i sincerely hope that the show gets the much required decency and gets elevated in terms of transparency (irrespective of the umpteen number of hidden cameras).
i know i may sound harsh but i guess at least for me i have stopped watching t v and reality shows especially for the reasons mentioned.
i would watch the show but off course for you……
loads of love as always

That shot when he teaches her to throw her voice so it echoes in the ravine? Remember that? It will stay with me and give me goosebumps till the day I die.
BRAVO!
This is beyond Congratulations, isn’t it? I have a lump in my throat. silly senti me.
Am delighted by your impending TV appearance- sounds JUST perfect. No patience to sit through all the Big Boss episodes but your wrapping up episodes I shall devour.
Great photos. loved the one with the arched pillar that one there, yes.

No No,
this is not fair, you’v gotta tell me if you rectified that typo because of me,
I mean you can’t lie, it won’t be fair then!
was it?
this would go down as something memorable for me.
Cheerz.
Congratulations !!!
I am a bit upset that u r goign to be associated with Big Boss. I have followed last two seasons of BB religiously. First season was ok but last season I used to feel ashamed of myself after watching it, coz I used to feel that I dropped my standards to a limit that I have to watch such crappy show.
Since now u have already started working with them, all I will pray and hope is that u could change the way how they conduct their show and also in ur presence the participants will be more nice spoken and less abusive.
