25 Days to PAA
A grim grey London at 6 in the morning, as the flight tears through the soft umbrella of clouds protecting as it were the luminous glaze of the ochre lights of the city, about to open its eyes to another day.
I am in London, for the Head Injury Foundation Charity get together for HH the Maharaja of Jodhpur, Gaj Singh ji an enterprise that shall help those in need of this alarming act which apparently has the largest number of cases in the world in India.
I have arrived a day early and shall depart a day late, because it gives me an opportunity to promote the film PAA through the local media. Its been a busy first day after a 9 hour flight. We concluded 21 media outputs one after the other - electronic, print, radio - and one in Punjabi, which was wonderful; my Sikh antecedents being tested as I speak in the language of Punjabi Balle Balle, the name of the programme.
The brain has been drained to an extreme, the body fights the pain relief drug and the system that shuts down the body for the night has been in operation for the past 3 hours. It is a wonder then that the fingers are moving, involuntarily though, in the formation of this post.
Allow me then to recuperate, to refresh and to liven the memory and brain cells, depleted as they are from the desired break …

Hello Mr Bachchan
Hope you have nice time in london.
BTW chelsea defeated Man u
yes cool..
Dear Amitji,
When i showed my friends your picture from paa
No one believes me that this is you.
Even after they saw the promo they still sayed it can’t be you.
I’m sure you will have a lot of success with paa.
By the way, i liked you very much in the song ‘you mey be’
from Aladin.
all of love,
Sigali
sigali thank you .. it is me
The “Paa” promos are really building up excitement.Cant wait to watch the film..Wish the release day comes faster.
sir paa looks awesome. eagerly waiting for it. all the best
How are you doing Mr Bachchan ?
Hi AB,HOPE all’s well in london is it raining?get enough rest and recuperate well to get your neurons some exercise once you get up tomorrow…cheers for the head injury charity…great effort for a great cause love vikas

24 Days to PAA.
I still watch the promo where you say ‘ PAA ‘. It’s something that still touches my heart. The extent to which you’ve undergone to achieve this look, the character you portray and the vocals is beyond anything ever done in Indian Cinema. It is hardly surprising then, albeit gratifying that the media response to the promo’s is rapturous.
The media / electronic medium is fickle though as can be people and like any industry appraises when all is well and closes the door on you when they see failure. It’s just the way of the world and we have to move with the times. Your optimism for establishing an ombudsman is to be applauded also. You embrace change and progression within society.
The member of the PAA forum has posted a comment which I’d like to share with you. The comment relates to the Guinness Book of World Records. Question, Has anyone as young as you ever played a teenager ?
Quote :
“The Oldest Actor” to play a “Teenager’s Role”?
The point I wish to highlight is the diversity of your ability ( not just acting ) to reach out to all ages. You have an unlimited reservoir of talent.

Yo first one? How are you doing Mr. Bachchan?? Still no posts about Allahabad specifically.

Day 565 - # 79 - Wisdom,
Please allow me give you some wisdom also. Don’t take this whole issue out of perspective. I am totally against anyone who is abusive and rude on this blog. NO ONE deserves it. We have no right to make special requests to Mr Bachchan and have no right to get aggressive to anyone who say’s something we may not like.
Everyone is entitled to their views. If we disagree we should still show them respect.
If you use a pseudonym ( correct spelling ) that’s fine. There’s nothing in the ‘ rule ‘ book saying you can’t do this. But why are you doing this. If your that bold, use your real identity and have conviction in what you write. I will respect that.
If you personally don’t care what I choose to do, MY CHOICE, MY FIGHT AND MY LIFE, why bother to write anything directed at me.
Furthermore, my commonsense prevails, I won’t ignore you. You provide great wisdom.
I await your reply. Eagerly.
Love always, more so each day ..

Mr.Bachchan,
Have a great time in London.

Dear Amitji,
I read your blog everyday and enjoy a lot. I think I am one of the first one’s to read it as I am in New Zealand and as you know we are ahead in time from rest of the world.
This is my first time that I am writing to you. Many of the phrases from your blog have become a part of my forwarded mails to my dearest friends and they too enjoy a lot.
Thanks for that and many regards
Smita
love to you smita .
Amitji, thank you for connecting with us, despite being so tired.
Please, rest and relax.
Wish you a wonderfully productive, satisfying and happy stay in London.
Love and regards,

Dearest Buddy,

Dear Sir,
I am waiting for this Movies so so so anxiously…..its a great concept and what a treat for us to see Abhi as your Father in a Movie…most unique experience !
Love you more and more, day by day, second by second…
Your no2 Fan after ABHI,
P MANAV
ha great ..
My lovable Auro,
WELCOME TO EUROPE!!!
The grey skies will now disappear hopefully with your arrival. I know this is wishful thinking, but nevertheless wishing you find enough time to rejuvenate and have some “YOU” time.
Oh yeah, you do sound extremely tired and exhausted which isn’t really a wonder after all you have been accomplishing the last days. Have a peaceful rest and wishing you all the best at the charity event.
PAA is going to break records, so no worries there really. But it is highly commendable at the efforts you make to do all you can in helping market the movie. Rest assured, all will be fine.
I must hit the sack now as another early shift beckons. The good old alarm clock rings at 04:30 a.m. (nasty!) and I will venture out to the dark streets while the rest stay tucked in in their warm beds. Well, can’t have it all, can I?
Lovely to have you in close proximity…well, almost. Lodoners, it’s party time.
Love-Lily D’Penha-Frankfurt-Germany.
love to you lily ..
Well-earned holidays in London!
Enjoy yourself.
Hi,
Rest well. Happy stay at London

Hi Mr Bachchan,
London? when?…how? … 
Take care of yourself, we will never say it enough

Love and regards vikas
interesting and good vikas..
How did a beautiful concept like PAA came to your mind?
not my idea it was R Balki’s thought …
Your brain cells work better in this depleted state than mine do after enough rest!
I love your first sentenece describing the London morning.
Good luck for the get together supporting that charity.
I can’t believe all you have done for the promotion of ‘PAA” right after a 9 hour flight! I wish you didn’t have to go through yet more pain. And I hope your body isn’t actually fighting the pain relief drug!
Thank you for posting and keeping us informed of your whereabouts and activities even in your tired state. Please get enough rest to thoroughly recuperate. I hope your pain disappears and you feel refreshed tomorrow.
Love,
Rochelle
at it again and working round the clock .. love to you as ever
Hello Amitabhji and jayaji,
Wish you all the Best for Paa.
Looks like working hard in Lonadon for the Foundation.
Wow. 21 media outputs including one in Punjabi for the promotion of PAA.
Please take enough rest.
Our Hello to Jayaji.

ॐ श्रि अमितभ बच्चन,
नमस्ते, प्रनाम,
I wonder if I could be bold to ask if I could meet with you. Are you able to spares anytime for me. Please let me know.
To yeh hai London. Yes, London today is in overcast, it is windy and cold. Nothing more than a normal day at this time of the year. Still you could warm my heart and soul for that matter and meet me.
Love always,
Manish Parmar, UK.
Welcome to London Amitji,
Please, please spare the Uk EF five minutes to meet and greet you if possible.
Regards
Naresh
very tough .. busy as hell … soon if premier takes place ..
Your first sentence is so poetic, Amitji.
I am reminded of the “Har ik pal ka shayar” Amit in “Kabhi Kabhi”.
That image of you singing in the auditorioum of a college, with a radiant Rakhi mesmerized by your performance, has been indeliable in my psyche over the intervening decades!
She was not the only one mesmerized. No sir.
Love and regards,
Jasmine J
Dear Mr Bachchan,
I am proud of your support to one more noble cause. Its pretty alarming to know India has the highest number of head injury cases. Please let us know how this charity would help the needy. I am bit surprised why this event is being conducted in London by a King from India. Shouldn’t it been organised in India rather ( if the cause is for India). Anyway, may be there is something I dont know.
Also nice to know it gave you an opertunity to promote your next film PAA , which will definitely be a super duper hit. Enjoy your stay in London, rest well and keep us updated when you get time.
love
Arun
CORRECTION *THIS MOVIE ” AND NOT *MOVIES”, sorry for the error..
Sir, I want to tell you about something very close to my heart..when I was a very small kid..and after watching Sholay, I forced my Parents to call me “JAI”…and also forced/requested my friends to call me “JAI’…I was and still so much in love with SHOLAY and that character…Even here in USA, my AMERICAN friends call me JAI, as I told them its my nick name and some people find it very easy to pronounce as compared to my real name..he he..
Normally nick names are given by Parents or Uncles or Aunts, but I chose my nick name after watching SHOLAY…I am 33 now, still in love with YOU, JAI AND SHOLAY, the same way I was when I was 4 and half years ols..
LOVE YOU AND THE BACHCHAN FAMILY + EF…
-P MANAV
i am honoured and blessed ..
I really hope you guys put together a special dvd package for Paa, something with an extended making, not the typical 30 or 45minute one that we usually have. Also, you, abhishek, and balki should definitely do a commentary because the promos seem like it will be a special film that deserves a special dvd package
wil keep that in mind …
Hello Mr. Bachchan,
Waiting eagerly to see PAA. Wish you all the best for all your projects.
Always in awe. Wish you a good stay in London.
Love,
Jyoti
Dearest Mr. Bachchan, I am happy to hear from you and glad that you are taking the much needed rest.
Take care of you. Love you more.
Paali
Happy that you had arrived London safely, great to hear from you… Take care of your precious health.. stay warm my dearest dear.
Wish you all the best , i admire and respect how you are giving time and effort for charity causes.
Wish all he best for PAA’s promotion in the local media, 21 media outputs one after another after 9 hours flights, seems not only busy.. but sounds hectic and tiring.. wish i could listen to you talking in Punjabi, you must sound wonderful.
It always scare me to know that you are in pain.. you’ve been taking pain relief drug for a while and it is so worrying that you have to take it.. thank you so much for posting this while you are so tired and after a busy day.. so sorry, worried to see you fatigued and pained.
Please take rest and a long break, your system does need it, listen to your body’s needs please, i must say that i love to read a long post from you, but what is more important to me, is to know that you are not suffering from any pain, and that you are well rested and relaxed…
Have a very good night dear.. sweet dreams.. and have all my love, affection and more… much more.
taking rest too do not worry …
Dear Amitji,
Have a nice time in London.
London always reminds me of you
It was the first time that I came to London to visit
the unforgettable show.
Good night
all of love,

Hi Amitji,
I must have a sixth sense as I was waiting for your blog today to write that I felt you would be coming to London any day now. Can I take you out for a spin in my Ford Focus with EF as the first part of the number plate?
Regards to all the EF.
Naresh
Dear Amitabh Bachchan,
I am sharing with you a grim grey day - it’s the same here, but I finally have a day off and I rested enough..
It sounds really good that you are also promoting “Paa” in London and I hope to hear more about the Head Injury Foundation Charity get together and I thank you for writing to us this nice and descriptive post despite your exhaustion ..

Rest well and please, take good care of yourself. And all the best for all your plans and functions.
May God bless you and yours.
Much love to you.

After watching promos of Auro the” paa ” the members of your growing EF have bonded with you closely . They now identify themselves more with Auro than Amitabh Bachchan
COME BACK SOON AURO

Evening Sir! We all love the song you sang titled Eer Bir Patte. But I have not been able to find that song anywhere in the web world, nor have any other fan of yours. We love you, and we love that song. What happened to it. Do write about it. Me and many others would like to know about that beautiful song. If possible please bring it back on the televisions.
Love you always.
ok will soon remind ..
Sir,
Best wishes for Paa. Hope it receives great response in UK and all over the world.
I wish that you win an Oscar which you truly deserve.

Love you Mr B & your dedication to keeping your FmExt informed..Hope you do manage to squeeze in some rest and wake up all energized for another beautiful day… All my love as always, Archana Detroit.
P.S: Paa will be an amazing success.. So, keep smiling always!!
Dearest Mr Bachchan
That is the most horrendous schedule straight off a nine hour flight - TWENTY ONE different interviews… I can barely form a coherent sentence after a long flight, never mind promote such a wondrous and emotional and complex film with such extreme diligence and endurance.
And then you expend your very last atoms of energy sending us your late night message, with your body clock already crying out that is is waaaay past bedtime in Mumbai.
But this is film so richly deserving of promotion that I can only be hugely moved by your efforts and pray now that you have the most restful and restorative night, ready for your charitable endeavours of tomorrow, and then by the sound of it, even more publicity work. The need for painkillers also troubles me greatly, so can only send extra sympathy and love.
All fondest love, Daisy
all love my dear .. got to do it got to do it ..
Good to hear you are in London. Keep well
Voila, voila, voila !!!, 2 lines and there is always an inversion of lettres somewhere!! sorry, sorry, for my previous comment, that is precisely why I didn’t comment since 2 days, enough of that! I think I’ll never get used.
sorry it’s : Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa Paa
I hope I will not make a mistake in this comment if not it’s better for me to stop the damage and stop writing

Dear Sir
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and including us in them. Your acheivements with your humity and dignity are a great lesson for all of us. Please continue your writing. I hope you publish a book of all your daily blogs for us to keep them in print form

You always plan your overseas trips gainfully. Your present visit to London will serve dual purpose—arrange for promotion of ”paa” in addition to your association with ” Head Injury Foundation Charity” .
Dear Amitji,
Since PAA is coming..So it would be nice to have PAA’s on Blog Main Picture…Instead of one from RANN.
Thanks
Wish you all the best for PAA

After the release of ”paa” your name and fame will spread in all parts of the World.
Promote ”paa” effectively in UK.

Dear Amitji,
Aap ka swagat hai London mein. The grey morning turned into a sunny afternoon.Telepathy - I guessed you must be travelling to London. How and where to meet??
Why/When/How come both you and Abhishek support Chelsea? Are the Chelsea team aware that you are supporters? Have you been to a live match in UK?
Speak when you are refreshed and rested.

dear sir
we will definitely watch paa, here in adelaide.
”paa” will be successful in Gulf countries,Africa,USA ,UK and various other countries. ”paa’ may be dubbed in differentent languages with sub-titles.
WISHING ”PAA” GRAND SUCCESS IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD
Respected AmitJi,
What a great work you are doing by writing these blogs. It has given a chance to people like us (specially people who live outside india) to get in touch with you and become part of your extended family.
I have read quite a few of your blogs and you may have cover this in one of your blog but i keep thinking about this. “You are one of the best Hindi spoken person in hindi film industry but why you decided to write this blog in English. ” It might bring you close to more people if this is published in Hindi also. Just my 2 cents.
Anyway I hope Paa will become another blockbuster for you. Promos looks very promising.
Thanks,
Have a good rest, Mr.AB and see you on the next DAY. Take care of yourself.
Love,
Renate
Dear Amitji,

You are also the chosen one by god, god has given you so much. But Amitabhji you are stretching too far. This is what I sense, if only you can take rest and then go about doing your work, I will be very glad to begin with and then happy that besides your profession you are also enjoying life as its meant to be.
Please do not take this post in a sense of negativity. This is written with tender care, affection and love.
Your’s very warmly…
Hello,
Being the wife of a Amitabh fan, I just have a few words of suggestion and a question.
Suggestion:- Homeopathy doesnt work for everyone, but being a victim of headaches myself i have tried them, did you give them a try?
Question:- I would like a hand written happy birthday note for my husband from you, for his birthday on April 14th. in his owrds,’ If God had a voice it would be yours’. So I know he will appreciate a note from you. How do I go about doing this? Just mail our address or voice this request to someone else?
Indeed, Goa this is not! The thought of you landing into ‘this’ really made me sympathise for you when I woke this morning and it was at about 6:30-7! You usually bring the sunshine with you on arrival, but something is amiss this time round! It IS very grey, dank and just miserable at the moment and I am sorry you have had to come to this under such trying circumstances!!
An immense amount of work to do in an extremely short time - a three day turn around for a nine hour flight is torture Mr. Bachchan, I really despair - your poor system! Very sorry too that your awful pain has returned, I do hope you are able to sleep it off.
Well, in spite of all that a very warm loving welcome back to you in the hope in deflects the cold… I did tell you to pack you winter woollies!
An Indian newspaper had printed your name among the list of special guests at the Head Injury Foundation’s event unfortunately, that is how I came to be certain you were here; but the charity’s advertisement and website had preserved your anonymity. Many Hollywood actors are patrons or supporters I noticed Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker among others, but its your presence the event is in eager anticipation of as always! I do hope the evening and associated work goes well in the morrow.
Most excited to see evidence of your PAA press promotions and will I endeavour to find some too. Its lovely to know you are attempting to spread the magic of this particular movie this end the globe. I do feel as though we miss out on the build up at times, even though so many scenes from Hindi films are shot over here.
Best of luck and I really hope tomorrows schedule is not as stringent for you.
Even though you sound thoroughly exasperated to be here… I will wish you a very pleasant night and I hope you wake up refreshed and pain free.
Wrap up well and sweet dreams of brighter climes… Just spare a thought for me would you, ensconced in this for the duration of the winter!
All my love and warm affection,
Jasmine

Mr. Bachchan,
“Yeh Akashwani hai. Ab aap Devki Nandan Pande se samachar suniye” or “Vinod Kashyap se samachar suniye”.
These were the lines and the voices we grew up with. They were heard daily twice at 8.30 am and pm on our radio. The depth of those voices was enough for us to go suddenly silent and listen to what they have to say and inform. Those voices were synonym with the News…the Real News. They could convey the news about the entire country and the world within 15 minutes precise, in well drafted words and moderated voice.
A writer somewhere on the net writes about Devki Nandan Pande as ‘Father of News Broadcasting in India’. He further writes, he was a newscaster par excellence and a great exponent of the art of communication. So was Vinod Kashyap among the female broadcasters. There were many others too, but I remember these two names and voices very vividly.
Facility and the medium were limited those days as compared to what is available today. But it is anyone’s guess to judge the quality of News and Views of today on television. Pathetic are the presenters and the reporters and equally pathetic are their views and the news, and the worst are their high pitch speech delivery. Story is no different on the print media.
Is the consumerism a reason behind this bad state of affairs in the news media. As a matter of fact, it should have been other way round in a competitive market environment. Consumerism should have actually made them improve their quality rather increase volumes of their delivery. Story in the print media is equally pathetic. Quality of news and the language has constantly been seen deteriorating over the years.
I write the above taking clue from the initiative INDIA TV has expressed to you to improve the quality of news and views to better standards….and the respect too…at least towards the viewers.

I’ve been meaning to say this before but I love the countdown you’re doing on the blog for Paa.
To add to something I said about Paa on yesterday’s the reasons why many including myself have been so excited with the film I’d like to be a bit schematic:
Inasmuch as you are a screen legend with an enormous history of films and central roles and as someone who continues to get these opportunities (despite your ongoing protestations!) your supporters wish to see you do roles that are worthy of you. This does not mean box office success nor does it entail the expectation that you will adhere to an older screen image, just that you will do something that genuinely moves your audience or impresses it or both.
Since such is not possible with every film perhaps there should at the very least be central roles that even if not path-breaking satisfy those of us who basically go to see an Amitabh Bachchan film in the theater for Amitabh Bachchan, as long as this has been promised us. One might go to a Karan Johar film not expecting it to be a ‘Bachchan show’. One might therefore go for other reasons, that’s a different matter. But attached to this is still a question: why does Amitabh Bachchan see the need to do inconsequential roles in films like KANK or what have you when at that very same moment and at every other such moment he is also able to do interesting leads in interesting films? It would be one thing if you had as you always insist no choice in the matter. But what explains all those leads in countless films this decade?
But even if you cannot always do such quality work as a commercial actor why not do a lead in a relatively mediocre film where the audience sees nothing ‘new’ but not a deconstruction either? Allow me to be a little impolite, and more than a little blunt here. Because the likes of Karan Johar appreciate you so much and revere you so much in films like Black and now Paa that they offer you roles in KANK?! Does this make any sense whatsoever? How many of these directors have ever made films commensurate with what they claim to believe of you? I will grant Aditya Chopra this. Your character in Mohabbatein was grandly constructed and was the point of the film in many ways. Even Johar’s K3G I can sort of accept (it’s on the border line!). But not KANK. And I don’t mean to zero in on some of these names. The others aren’t much better. Because Farhan Akhtar was such a massive fan of Don he decided to remake it in the most unworthy way possible. Because he has idolized you all his life he thought that a 10 min guest appearance in Lakhya was really a valuable use of your presence. I wouldn’t be against every such guest role by the way. Yash Chopra, when he still used to be a director once upon a time, had Sanjeev Kumar for one scene in Kaala Pathar and it was a fine fine scene. So it’s not just about the footage. These roles don’t justify your talents or your history or your continuing (and I hope everlasting) relevance in any way imaginable. But these directors nonetheless claim to be huge fans of yours. Well if so you deserve better fans. There is no other way to say this.
So your audience could live with a relatively mediocre film in which you nonetheless had a central role. Because this what many film-makers haven’t understood, what you too have not been able to fathom if one takes all your utterances seriously in this regard (and I sometimes have my doubts) — no one, NO ONE, goes to see an Amitabh Bachchan film with the expectation of NOT seeing Amitabh Bachchan! In other words no one is that absurd. If they didn’t want to see you they wouldn’t show up for your films. But in many cases they show up and they’re disappointed because the film isn’t interesting but to add insult to injury you have a short role in it. Sometimes you might have a longer role, even a central role but this role and the film overall are so deconstructive to your place as a star and an actor and certainly the elevated position in which your audience always places you on both scores, that people just don’t dislike the film, they are deeply depressed with it. I can assure you I am not being hyperbolic in the slightest here. People are dismayed and depressed with certain choices. Yes commercial stars always have box office disappointments and bad films, that’s the name of the game. But what they cannot comprehend why certain films come about at all. A Lal Badshah does not dismay people because they get some of your iconic history here, they don’t like the film but there are saving features. With a Black they might not get ‘Vijay’ but they see a great actor attempting a great role. With Waqt they at least have the solace of knowing that you have been central to a somewhat decent film even. The proof here is the different sorts of films you have been successful in this decade from Aankhen to K3G to Baghban to Khakee to Black to what have you. Paa looks now to add to this list. Ironically this is a film where paradoxically there will NOT be Amitabh Bachchan on screen at all, in any recognizable sense of the word. Not in terms of gesturality, not in terms of even the slightest physical resemblance. And yet this short promo has created such buzz, such unprecedented interest. Why? Because people again can spot a great star, a great actor attempting a role proportionate to his abilities. People are impressed by what they’ve seen, they’re moved by what they’ve seen.
If I translated these into ‘Abhishek language’ (somewhat appropriate given the subject is Paa!) there is no problem at all when a D6 does not work as its expected to. One Drona like failure is also allowed. The problem would be if we kept seeing Drona-like projects from Abhishek or too many films like Laaga Chunari mein Daag (though I like this film) where he wasn’t central to the proceedings. So a certain mean can be found especially so when one is indulging in a certain volume. Certain roles even on paper can be instantly rejected for these reasons. It’s not a good or a bad film even. Certain roles even from the get go seem like bad ideas.
If all this were not true what would be the reason to celebrate Paa. If one cannot sense the distinction to be made between Paa and Aladdin why is one even excited with the former? I have this quarrel with many fans also. I don’t doubt their sincerity but why does such come at the cost of thought? Why cannot one be a fan without being totally blind? If one is going to praise and get excited about Aladdin and Paa in the very same ways using the very same language hasn’t one deconstructed the authentic film completely? Would one praise Deewar and Besharam the same way? Would one have equal regard for Khuddaar and Trishul? So on and so forth. To be true to the authentic one has to reject the inauthentic. There is nothing revolutionary about what I’m stating here. Bhootnath (which I saw in the theater) is deconstructive to your legacy even when it works. Because it renders your larger than life image, your extraordinary screen presence and most importantly your seminal history and legacy into something non-serious. It converts ‘Vijay’ into a ‘Disney-esque’ character. No one could endorse this attempt and I pity those who do in the name of loyalty or as I would see it misplaced notions of such. I can watch Anupam Kher do roles that I cannot accept from you even though I know you can do anything better than he does. That isn’t the point!
So I celebrate Paa. I am thrilled about this role. Utterly thrilled. Totally excited about the reception and what I think are its box office prospects. I am delighted that you will have another authentic moment in the sun and one that will extend your signature. I wish you to do this more often than not and if anything your age allows you to do this today far more than might have been possible ever before.
Dear Uncle,
I am eagerly waiting for PAA. We already made plans to watch it on first day. You had a long day today. I am enjoying weekend at home with family. Just thought to see if you have posted something or not. Enjoy your time in London. Please plan to be in Toronto soon too.
Write you more later.
Warm regards.

Dear Sir.
Enjoy your stay in London. And please do tons of justice for the cause you
have gone for; Head Injury Foundation Charity. The first few bleedy and mirky
cases I had first seen as a Surgery intern were head injuries and surprisingly
in our country the law has to fine you for your own safety, may it be helmets
or seatbelts. Please do something MORE for this cause. Not everyone is as lucky
as Lord Ganesha to get another head.
Best of Luck for the PAA promotion; Auro. The promo shall speak more than words.
Have fun and please take adequate rest.
Lovingly yours.
Dr. Prashant K. Naik. Surat.
Amitji,
You finally here, unfortunately…its turn Awfully cold and the winter has truly made a grand entrance..glad to see the PAA promotion activities have began in the UK too..really hope you manage to get a Premiere for the movie in US, UK and MUMBAI, I feel it will work wonders for the movie, as it did for Cheeni Kum, I remember attending the premiere at Empire Cinema Leicester Square..it was awesome sitting in a pack sold out venue to 1300 people and having you present amongst us:)
Hope it really works out..
I start my new job tomorrow morning so going to get shut eye for an early start..finally after so many months of health problems, I guess its time for me to turn a new leaf..and get back to what I do best, WORK:)
All the best always

आदरणीय श्री अमित अंकल,
मैंने आपका यह ब्लॉग कल से ही पढना शुरू किया है और मुझे यह पढ़ कर बड़ी ही हैरानी हो रही है की आप इस उम्र में भी इतने उत्साह और जोश के साथ कैसे काम कर पाते हैं, भगवान से मेरी यही प्रार्थना है की वे आपका स्वास्थ्य इसी तरह अच्छा बनाये रखें|
‘पा’ के प्रोमो देख कर मन में उसके लिए उत्सुकता और भी बढ़ गयी है|
“पा” के लिए ढेरों शुभकामनाओं सहित,
जयपुर से आपका एसी,
अभिषेक शर्मा
all the best!
AMIT JI, NAMASHKAR
HAVE A GREAT TIME IN LONDON AND PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH. LOADS OF LOVE FROM HERE!!!!
you deserve,and need a happy break—- and then, spring back with renewed energy [synergy would be more apt, actually!] vigour,enthusiasm and freshness!!
Dear AB,
Ma & Paa sound same in Hindi, English, Panjabi, Gujarati and other languages and still movie Paa deserves multi-lingual release. Is Paa (Abhi) listning?
Since the advert & teasers of Paa my brain cells seem to be in a state of wide awakning, renewed and charged! It’s counting days, hours, minutes and moments…
hi mr bachan looks like i am the 1st one today, the promo of paa is beyond expectations just waiting for the day it wl be realeased i just show yr interview on headlines today its always pleasure to see u on tube. hope u r taking good care of yrself with regards hemi
Salaam Amitji
paa is Academy Awards Calibre movie, without a Doubt. It should be Nominated for BEST MOVIE & for Leading Role for BEST Actor as well, the award should be given to none other than “Auro” Amitabh Bachchan. Can’t wait to watch this Master Piece.
Good Nite
Good Morning Mr. Bachchan,
Your jet-lagged mind and body wouldn’t be really sure about hour or day. It’s Monday morning in India here - 3:30am! At this hour, a short and sweet post from you feels like a quick call from someone in the family itself. Thanks for this post!
I have lost a few close ones to fate due to this fatal injury. Their lives were trimmed earlier than they should have been. Head injury is so common and it breaks my heart to see the careless youth protesting against the use of helmet in India. We fail to understand the value of what we have when we possess it dear. I am glad you are involved in this cause.
Well, I am going to be on field for a couple days. It feels me with sadness that I will be away from this blog hence for a couple days. I will miss you.. and I will miss this place. But I will be back.. will catch up..and hopefully will get to see a couple (i)s as well.
Take care and have fun..in London. Have a lovely morning and a great day ahead..
love n more..
Swatii
Hi! Thank you for the great cause you have undertaken.
Your PAA promos are amazing . Wish you all the best .
Is the story similar to English movie “Bejamin Button ” ?
That will be interesting.
Why are you not coming to LA to promote your movie ?
Wish you health , peace and happiness.
Looking forward to see your acting in PAA.
Take care.

On a related note incidentally I think Abhishek currently has a very strong line up with Rathnam above all else, Paa currently of course, Gowariker’s film, Rohan’s next, the Bourne remake, rumors of an Italian Job remake with Abbas-Mustaan, Dostana 2 at some point, and I was particularly pleased to see confirmation of the Neeraj Pandey film today. This is not only a fantastic line up but also one which features some strong roles.
Dear Amitji,
I hope your trip to London is successful and I can’t wait to hear about the press events for Paa on your blog and watch in the interviews.
Lots of love,
Kunali Shah
p.s. please come to LA
Dear mr. bachchan,
I re-re-re read your blog and by the end, started feeling sort of guilty !! for no aparant reason…
Here’s a man who is,well,not so young—–has just travelled thousand of miles, is in a foriegn land—braving biting cold-and to top it all—WORKING tirelessly there with a smile on face and few good words for every one!!!
as if this was not enough–he has to pen down his blog also!!!
kudos to you, dear sir—–
Good luck with PAA. So glad to read you are involved in the noble cause of head injury.
The break you desire is also the one you deserve so much. Have a great night and a wonderful day ahead.
love n care

Dear Amitji,
You must be totally drained after a long flight and intense promotional Paa interviews so I hope you rest and recover well. Sleep well sir and all the best for the day ahead and with the charity function.
Dear Amitji,
Hats off to you for connecting with us in spite of the hectic schedule plus the pains. There can be no one to match you in passion to keep the posts continuing whatever may be the condition. God bless you. And may Paa achieve the glory it deserves.
With best wishes

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
Hope you’ve had enough rest to recharge the batteries .Wish you a successful stay in London.
Wonder if incidence of traumatic brain injury is high in India from accidents involving two -wheelers. Many people are not prudent about wearing helmets either. That in itself would reduce the injuries markedly. Great cause for all to be aware of.
Had a low key Sunday myself . It was a perfect Fall day . Hmm……. perhaps after grey London you might want to hop over and spend some time here ???
Take care.Love.
Namastey sir,
Bhagwan aapko shakti aur bahut himmat de for the good cause.

Dear Amitji,
Welcome to London! Hope you had a comfortable flight with no turbulence like the previous time.
Its good you are getting the opportunity of promoting your film ‘PAA’ while in the Big City. How did you manage all those interviews and sessions with the media after you long overnight flight? Seems you dived straight into your hectic schedule after your arrival here.
With grateful thanks for sending us this post even when you are so tired, can imagine you must be exhausted and drained after your busy day, please have a restful night and good wishes for your day tomorrow.
With love & prayers,
Brenda
welcome to London, Mr B.
London is freezing! I’m beginning to think you enjoy being here in the winter. I vaguely recall our encounter last freezing winter at the CC2C premiere, when I nearly turned icicle waiting for you. Not being one to hold a grudge, i’ll be there for the Paa premiere this Dec, if there is one. Never fear! I’ve learnt my lesson. I have discovered and ‘acquired’ the trusty thermal undergarments. So this time round i’m fully prep’d. You had better run baby, i have a score to settle!

Take a break in London and give yourself the much needed rest after all the events for Alladin and PAA that you have been attending. Hopefully the jet lag will do its job and you will sleep enough. Your support to these charities is great. I am sure the blessings will transcend to you.
Love u always
Ritu
dear amitji, so sorry haven’t written in a while; has been a rough last couple of weeks. after my brothers’ wedding reception, my dadaji passed away the very next day; he passed away in peace. he was a wonderful human being and practically raised me and always wanted me to be a doctor; it is because of him and my mom pushing me that I am a physician today; very emotional time in our family. I am very excited to watch PAA soon; have been seeing the promotions-looks like very good movie; I haven’t gotten to see aladdin but will make sure to see that soon also. May God bless you and family always. Happy belated birthday to aishwariya. Hope all is well and please do get some rest. sincerely, dr sunir kumar from pittsburgh
Hello Amitabh!
You are in my favourite city!! Lucky you!! 5 hours ahead of Toronto! Hope you make it here too one day soon!
I wonder why India has the largest number of head injury cases? That’s sad. Hopefully the charity get together hosted by the Head Injury Foundation was productive and good things will come out of it.
They were showing the Curious Case of Benjamin Button on TV last night and i found myself watching it again. This time I liked it better than the first time I saw it. I know Paa will be a totally different story but I think the similarity is only in the uniqueness of both the stories. I found the latter part of the movie watching Benjamin’s regression into babyhood very moving especially when he dies in Daisy’s arms looking at her with that final knowing look.
That’s the beauty about movies. Many people say they’re an escape into another world. I don’t look at movies as an escape. Reality is too stark to escape anywhere! I find that especially good movies help you connect with different aspects of yourself or connect with different emotions, circumstances and things that could never be as a part of one’s entire life-time. I would not say the same about horror films though! Not sure why on earth anybody would want to watch horror!
Enjoy yourself in London and good luck with Paa’s media promotion. I am so sure the film is going to be a runaway success - I didn’t think you needed to promote it all that much as it will speak for itself.
I am the first one to comment!!
Dear Amitabh ji, wish you all the very best for PAA. The promos look amazing !
Hi Mr Bachchan,
Being your ardent fan, would like to see success on upcoming PAA. Just a suggestion, please pay visit to gujarat where “Bachchan’s” have always been loved. please visit cities of Baroda & Ahmedabad in particular to promote PAA. would make a lot of difference i feel..
i also live in london. Can I see you
Sirji…wishing you all the best for the good cause. Keep up the good work and also keep inspiring we all.
With love and warm regards,

Unfortunately, here in Australia, the pirated disc are available much before the movie opens and due to the quality of recent films, even they dont sell.
hats off to you for writing in inspite of the hectic schedule. bod bless
Dear Big B,
Is PAA a remake of the 2008 Hollywood movie. “The Curious Case of Benjamin Sutton”?

Dear Mr. Bachchan:
I had posted the below mentioned ‘news’ a couple of days back before the press started showering your ‘teasers’ for PAA. I hope the validity and seriousness of what I personally feel to be a disgusting act on the part of the media - or the said individual and company - is taken into consideration for a healthy discussion. It is particulary disturbing since nowhere, I repeat, nowhere, have seen a ‘professionally committed’ expert reviewer retract back on the ratings for a review.
Mr. Bachchan, you have seen more in the number of years you have worked than I have since the years I have been born. I hope, the praises for PAA do not dilute what you sincerely feel about the ‘business’ of media.
It might be cynical of me, but the praises for PAA are a calcuated move on part of the press. Agreed, there might be genuine ones, but most of them seem to have an agenda of raising someone to the skies and then gleefuly enjoying pulling them down when things turn out the opposite of what was promised earlier. This has been more than prevalent in your case. I am reposting the comment below for the last time. Hope to receive your thoughts on this act.
This is truly blasphemous; please visit the link below and open a discussion - the ‘conscience’ of the journalist compromised by the ‘business’ angle; much like your statements about RANN —

Hi Amitji,
Atlast I am the first one to comment today and I still hope I get an yellow line for the first time.Saw aladin on Fri night and you were simply too good as usual.When I asked my my 8 yr old son Srinjoy how is he liking the flick almost during the end and his reply was it is good but if Amitabh dies in the movie I will not like it. We are eagerly waiting for PAA too
OK for now eagerly waiting for the yellow line also please.

Dear Amitji,
I hope the funds for better expertise and treatment will not just be limited to the major multispecialty hospitals. Improvization in the setup starting from the primary centers and basic training courses by eminent neurosurgeons for casualty doctors around India could make a huge difference in saving lives.
Hoping to see a few pics from London too.
Sleep well and rest ur shoulder, although I doubt there is a memory or brain cell depletion in ur case.:P
Love,
Aishwarya.
AMITJI…..WHY YOU ALWAYS IN LONDON AND NOT IN MANCHESTER?????
Hi
Surprise…that you are in London…although you did mention in one of your posts recently, but I just forgot about that.
Must be very tiring and all these efforts of yours are definitely going to bear fruit and make Paa great success…
Have adequate rest and take care of your always pressurized body.
lots of love
Naresh Kapoor
Dear Mr Bachan,
May ‘Paa’ be very successful. Wish you all the best with your movies.
I lost my job in October and this is the 5th week of job search but still unsuccessful. I am very unlucky.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that my father who is 73 years old is your very big fan. He has seen almost all your movies.
Please do come and perform in Australia. We also would like to see and meet you.
Kind regards,
Shareen
Amitji…
its getting really late, have to be up at half six for work.
I saw Aladin yesterday and I loved it. My review in the morning.

Dear Lion King,
Have a good day in London Sir and a wonderful gesture to be part of this wonderful foundation. I would like to draw your attention to your friends in the media in case you missed it yesterday.
TOI’s Bharti Dubey has given a rather unflattering point of view on your “experimenting” with roles and taking what comes your way in your superannuation days. I winced while reading it initially and then laughed out loud at the juvenile analysis. Talk about the timing of this article,she has come up with this piece to coincide with your 40th anniversary and with Paa around the corner. I was quite expecting this from TOI but not a duffer’s analysis.
I would like to shred her so called ” above average “analysis on a piece meal basis on the day you so gracefully appreciate the accolades that are being showered on you and yet you continue to be in their line of fire. The diatribe has not really ended , has it? Cynicism at it’s worst. I would like to know what Dubey will be doing when she is 67? Probably chewing paan and rocking on a chair perhaps. Would the world even care? Dubey who?!So, we have the likes of Santoshi and Pradan guffawing at your experimental phase. I know you will have the last laugh on December 4th and your so called “experiment” is going to blow on the faces of folks who do not have the gumption to accept the fact that they continue to bite the dust of a 67 year old stud who does not have to strain himself to keep his nose in front. Hey Dubey take a look at what Mr Bachchan has achieved upto now, yes, a big chunk is from his “superannuation” days babe, show me another who has achieved as much or more at his so called “prime”?

As an audience Black was the start of a new era for you and for us to watch Amitabh Bachchan hidden acting skills And with paa it is continuing. I wish it will continue. But as an audience I suggest(baaki aapki marzi): You should start focusing more towards new challenging roles And start taking rest more often for good health And should edit meeting/s. When focus is towards multiple subjects I don’t know how one can justify the single subject i.e., art.
Hope you have a safe trip, as for me, my Sunday was not so good,we were planning to see the book fair and paintings by women artist presently on display, but had to cancel as my three year old daughter’s foot got caught in the bicycle, its swollen and turned blue. It was so sad to see her in pain there only we mother’s fail, at times like these it feels if only we had the power to transfer the pain over to us. She is sleeping now. Hope you have a good trip.
Hey sir, Okay first I have to admit, this is first time I am coming on your blog, first time I am thinking that perhaps this is the place you will listen to me. Ma be its Black or any other movie, you make me to think and now with this Paa. Actually I just read abt this in a forwarded mail by a friend and on thinking more n more my conscious compelled me to come here and write something for you and at-least appreciate you once, before I loose this chance. After checking the pics, I was amazed and afraid. I dunno why but I afraid wht if we loose a jewel like you. I mean you are precious and your contribution is priceless and I guess this is the only thing that called achievement. And today is first day, when like millions of your fans I also wants to say that yeah I wanna meet you; may be for a couple of mins, but I wanna meet you. But; but I know; I am still not in your fans list, who deserve much more then me and I know I will not come back on this blog to check the reply for this. But just wanna salute you once, for everything you have given to media, our society, to our culture and country.
In the last, as I m much younger to you, just wanna touch your feet saying Paripunna(Charan-vandana) and wanna hug you tight just for once, for sure, I need it more then you do……
Devkishin Vyasji: Message #390 on day 565 is for you. Just in case you missed it, please read. Thank you for your greeting, and I hope you have a wonderful Monday!
Anat Magen: So happy for you!!!!
Manish Parmar #10: Good job. Thank you so much for doing something concrete about the abuse here. Hopefully, an end can be put to the unpleasntness.

Glimpses of Amitji’s stunning and completely unparalleled box office prowess (Taran adarsh among the commentators):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dyFzOVt5jI
and here’s Komal Nahata some years ago:
The Amitabh Bachchan phenomenon
By Komal Nahta
Also see Amitabh special | Why is Big B such a big star? | Wish Amitabh!
“Amitabh is Amitabh”. “There’s no one like Amitabh”. “Nobody can match Amitabh Bachchan’s popularity”. These and similar statements are commonly heard. And not just in the film trade but also among the general public.
What is it that makes Amitabh so different from the others of his ilk? Why in the last 30 years have we never had any actor who has had the same fan following and who could clearly step into his shoes? What is it that really made Bachchan stand above all the other stars who’ve come after the superstar first made an appearance on the screen in 1969 in Saat Hindustani?
Quite simply, Bachchan’s string of box-office hits! One after the other, the actor’s films hit the jackpot with such alarming regularity that in the seventies and eighties, Amitabh Bachchan became the safest bet for producers, distributors and exhibitors alike. I use the world alike to differentiate the scene that existed when Bachchan was the numero uno and the one that exists today.
For instance, a Salman Khan today may guarantee mega-bucks for the producers of his films but there’s no like guarantee that distributors and exhibitors of his starrers will also make money. As in the case of most of his releases before his latest, Tere Naam. While producers of Salman-starrers made table profits, distributors of his films burnt their fingers rather badly when those films flopped. It was after almost two-three years that everybody associated with a Salman-starrer made money in Tere Naam.
Ditto in the case of films of other topline stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan or others like Ajay Devgan, Anil Kapoor, Sunny Deol or, for that matter, anybody else. Why, even current heartthrob Hrithik Roshan’s films such as Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage and Na Tum Jaano Na Hum entailed heavy losses to its distributors. That used to not be the case with Bachchan flicks.
Secondly, merely the superstar’s name was enough to draw in the crowds into cinemas in his heyday. Today, no hero can boast of such charisma as to lure the audiences to theatres on the sheer strength of their names. Shah Rukh Khan’s home production, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, could not even manage decent houses on the opening day, leave alone full houses. Anil Kapoor has never really drawn initial crowds; his starrers usually pick up by word of mouth publicity if they are good. Even action heroes like Ajay Devgan and Akshay Kumar had had to remain content with dismal opening of their flicks on more occasions then one.
But the Bachchan magic was one of a kind. Whether it was Prakash Mehra’s Zanjeer in 1973 or Manoj Kumar’s multi-star cast Roti Kapada Aur Makaan in 1974, Yash Chopra’s evergreen Deewaar or Ramesh Sippy’s all-time blockbuster Sholay in 1975, Bachchan’s first film with Rekha – Do Anjaane – in 1976 or Manmohan Desai’s biggest entertainer, Amar Akbar Anthony in 1977, the two common features in all these hits were Amitabh Bachchan’s towering presence in them and a bumper box-office initial draw. Don, Trishul and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar made 1978 a memorable year for the Big B. The following year may not have been as good but Bachchan, nevertheless, did deliver Mr. Natwarlal and Suhaag in the last year of the seventies.
The next decade was equally exciting for the superstar who did not seem to age at all. Today, when heroes find it difficult to hold their own for even ten years, Amitabh Bachchan ruled the box-office for over two decades as the undisputed Maharaja of movies with no close second! Ram Balram, Laawaris, Naseeb, Khuddar, Andhaa Kaanoon, Coolie, Sharaabi and Mard were some of the actor’s great hits of the first half of the eighties.
Of course, when Amitabh Bachchan reigned supreme, films did not have to face the opposition of video and cable piracy as today. Cinema-going was the only and cheapest form of entertainment for the masses who identified with the angry young man image of Bachchan. But where films of the great actor did not have to fight the piracy battle or even the opposition of countless satellite channels, the media hype too was far less during his days. He did not have every television channel covering him or his films because there were simply no satellite channels. He even went off press for a few years but for that, he had only himself to blame.
Yet another factor that went in Bachchan’s favour in making him the darling of all sections of society was his unbelievable versatility. It is not for nothing that the Big B became a superstar. Although he was adored in angry young man roles, he never let down his fans in non-action films too. Comedy, like action, was his forte and if he could represent the frustrations of the helpless youth of those times, he could as well play the comedian with equal élan. Chupke Chupke and AAA come to mind instantly when one thinks of Bachchan’s flair for comedy. With equal ease, Amitabh also played the intense lover as in Kabhie Kabhie and Silsila.
The range which Bachchan portrayed in his performances remains unmatched even today. Like the superstar’s fees those days. The actor used to command a remuneration which was more than double that commanded by the actor who was second in popularity. It was Amitabh who started the trend of an actor taking the distribution rights of a major territory like Bombay in lieu of his remuneration. And while distribution rights were, in those days, generally sold for ten years, the superstar bought perpetual rights.
Today, films do businesses of Rs 15 and 20 crores per major territory. But in the seventies and eighties, when Rs 1 crore was the magical figure, several of Bachchan starrers touched and even crossed the Rs 1-crore mark.
Amitabh is also the last star to have had a universal appeal that cut across geographical boundaries. Whether it was the man on the street in Ludhiana in the North or Latur down South, whether it was a company executive in Porbandar in Western India or a college student studying in Patna in East India, the fondness for Bachchan was the same.
Today, a Sunny Deol runs more in Northern Indian because of his action image, a Govinda is a hot favourite of U.P. and Bihar whereas a Shah Rukh Khan flick generally records dull collections in Bihar. That is to say, Amitabh’s charm affected the audiences in the North, South, East and West with equal intensity. Not just in India, but across the seven seas too, Amitabh reigned supreme for over two decades. His super-hit stage shows bore testimony to his immense popularity the world over.
Again today when jubilees are more manipulated than actual, Amitabh’s films celebrated genuine silver, golden and platinum jubilees. r Akbar Anthony in 1977 celebrated silver jubilee in as many as 9 cinemas of Bombay, a record unparalleled even today! In the year 1978, six of Amitabh’s films celebrated jubilees, yet another record which remains unequalled to-date!
Even after Bachchan’s downswing began, the actor managed to make successes out of ordinary films like Shahanshah in 1988, Aaj Ka Arjun in 1990 and Hum in 1991.
A three-year sabbatical in the nineties was followed by a disastrous comeback with Mrityudaata, a film which Amitabh’s critics condemned as the death-knell of the actor. But Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Major Saab thereafter gave him a breather. BMCM in 1998 might have crossed the average line because of Govinda’s antics but Amitabh Bachchan’s towering presence in the David Dhawan flick cannot be overlooked.
With KBC on Star Plus, the ageing actor’s fan following increased even more. Once again, critics derided Amitabh’s foray into television and predicted that this surely would be the end of his career on the big screen. But once again, Bachchan proved his detractors wrong! Rather than adversely affecting his film career, KBC actually gave it a big boost.
Did you know?
# No star has as many hits and super-hits to his credit as Amitabh Bachchan. Of the over 100 films in which he had full-length roles, more than 35 films have been either hits or super-hits!

# Amitabh has acted in 9 films directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, viz. Anand, Abhimaan, Namak Haraam, Chupke Chupke, Mili, Alaap, Jurmana, Gol Maal (only a guest appearance) and Be-Misal. With Manmohan Desai, he did 8 films – Amar Akbar Anthony, Parvarish, Suhaag, Naseeb, Desh Premee, Coolie, Mard, Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswathi – besides one with Manmohan Desai as producer and son Ketan Desai as director (Toofan). Prakash Mehra directed the superstar in a total of 7 films – Zanjeer, Hera Pheri, Khoon Pasina, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Laawaris, Sharaabi, Jaadugar. With Yash Chora, the superstar did 5 films – Deewaar, Kabhie Kabhie, Trishul, Kaala Patthar and Silsila – besides one, with his son, Aditya Chopra – Mohabbatein. Ramesh Sippy directed Bachchan in the latter’s (as well as the former’s) biggest hit, Sholay, besides Shaan, Shakti and Akayla. His son, Rohan Sippy, made his directorial debut with Bachchan’s son, Abhishek (Kuch Naa Kaho).

#92 Satyam very valid question you asked
“why does Amitabh Bachchan see the need to do inconsequential roles in films like KANK or what have you when at that very same moment and at every other such moment he is also able to do interesting leads in interesting films?”
I saw his interview with Ms Barkha Dutt where he says - not in his exact words ,pardon me for that - but some thing like this ” I am no more a lead - I fortunate enough to get some work at this age” - meaning I am 67 and still I am getting some work.
I would say to that nah - it does not matter, An ACTOR is AN ACTOR - and when that Actor becomes an Institution - the age barrier should not there at all.
AB Sir! - You always told us that all you wanted to do is act.
and thank you for Paa! that proves it -:) again!
Satyam - thank you for the great post, I agree with you totally! - as always!
Dearmost sir,
Your dedication to us is amazing - need to learn so much from you.
Inspite of your hectic travelling schedule - you don’t miss out on connecting with us.
Take care,

Dear Mr. Bachchan
Wishing you a Good morning and I hope you got all the rest you needed. Looks like you are still suffering from pain as you state you are on pain medication, no I am not going to say anything…..but wish you all the best with the promos and I am sure your brain is back to its full function mode. Have a great day.
Lakshmi
sir
londan se kab aana hoga
Inspiring to see your work regimen and ability to work hard committedly even at this age. Was just about to find an excuse to postpone my expenses work but was woken up after seeing your blog. 9hr flight and 23 promos non-stop and not enough time for jetlag and still bloggong ..Kudos. Keep it up doc . Its all up there and all you have to do is to keep doing it single mindedly. I guess the thought of getting tired is again a thought we are feeding the brain and it needs to be seperated from this feed to go above and beyond untill the body complains through some other means.
But do take care as enough time has to be given for recovery and it is these kind of single minded , mind-boggling reigimens which will affect the wind under the wings after a certain age of the machine we are flying in. You should demand and get your time after a certain period at this stage but not bow down to the so-called occupational hazards to fulfill the commitments without fail. Best of luck with Paa……..
I also need to recuperate from a painful Sunday evening consisting of a two hour root canal,thanks to the dentist having to investigate a fourth root, another horrendous loss by the Giants, which the dentist let me listen to while in the chair, and there always is the pain of the bill even with insurance. The procedure took so long that the anesthesia started to wear off towards the end, and every time I was told to open my mouth wider, I almost cried due to my tired jaws. I don’t know whhich was more painful-the dental visit or the Giants fourth loss in a row.
Now I must get ready for bed before the Tylenol wears off.
Enjoy London. The object that stuck out the most when I landed there a few weeks ago was the lit-up London Eye.
Love,
Rochelle
For AB,
I understand that London is a good city for creature comforts. I read in a magazine that many Hotels have replaced the old 12th century fire-place with an electrical heating apparatus. Progress, Progress, man… pinch yourself!
I hope London gives some respite after commuting between Delhi - Mumbai - Lonavala practically every day since your return from Singapore!
Ofcourse you know better. We only know what you did there last summer. Expect at least a few more visitors this time…
Have a great day,
Love
Sudhir

Thanks for the explicit details of your experince on the dreaded dentist chair, i am more than happy now not to go today, as i had an appointment today for ONE root canal, so after what you went through,i would rather take 1-2 brufen and wait for another day to sit on that bizzare looking chair, why cant they make it more freindly chair and more colorfull mask when they come so near to us……
Get well soon

Dear Mr B,
With the comments increasing everyday on your blog and seeing the timing that you devote for us I am keeping my comments very short since the last couple of days. The urge to comment is too great for me to just read and leave.
What is more important for me is your health rather than you dedicating unhappy hours to us inturn affecting your health. Please take care of yourself, you are more important to us than the blog. The blog is because of you not vice versa.

Mr. Bachchan,
My Dad passed away five years ago. My fondest memories of my Dad are our family outings together to the then Milan theater in Santacruz but only when they played an Amitabh Bachchan movie !! Those evenings were special. We were very ordinary middle class folks and money was reserved for the essentials. However Dad always made an exception for Amitabh Bachchan’s movies and we watched Sholay 11 times — a luxury in those days , in the theater !! The years have gone by…..my brother and I are well settled in life, my Dad has passed away , my mother is with us but the memories of those special evenings lingers in my memory to this day. Thank you for being a part of our growing up.
I do want to comment on two things 1 ) friends and movies will be here today, gone tomorrow. But what about your health ? If you don’t take care of it now, you may be the only one that is saddled with it — the good and the bad of it. So why not be saddled with only the good part of good health. Please Mr. Bachchan, it is my earnest request to please cut back on a few of your commitments and try to take some time for yourself. 2) I am simply amazed at the regularity and dedication with which you maintain and update your blog. Kudos to you now and always.
Take care,
Elizabeth

Respected Brother
Sadar Pranam
Here am at the request of Deepak Taunk.. Where were you all this while.. I have breached my not calling names at the blog.. for otherwise it would be considered impolite and if brother and others read this piece from me the probably would not find reasons for it bein there in the first palce…
I agree with you..There were other names to as well as the DD news of the beginning years too had the similar story.. that they were good composed, brief, to the point and complete in almost all aspects of news coverage..
A few days back I did bring a radio.. a simple rado so to say for no speakers no. hulaa bulla of woofers, DVD players or cassette players attached.. Besides the news I find television does not present music as best as it could.. nothing in n numbers of music channel can beet chhaya Geet that I used to rate higher than the Sunday movie.. something that was quite a collection..
The radio is also not the same yet with soem of the channels the degradation is not so deep.. I listen to FM Gold mainly.. Vividh Bharati used to be the main channel.. though on radio too.. radio ceylon and Amin Sayani’s Binaca Geet Mala was most exemplary than any of the top of the charts music programs that are being provided..
I think it is time hat we do realise that people do not have so much time to be wasted on Television with lot of garbage being dished out.. my worst enemy is advertisements.. I know some of it may be important.. some of it even necesaary but an overdose goes to kill my interest..
If I share this information with you people you may first not seem to agree.. yet the fact is that I do not even watch News channels on Television. I know I may be less informed..I may miss some of the important events.. I may miss something that could actually be essential.. yet tha fact is that I seldom watch News channels.. it would be far more true if I say I rarely watch Television.. and I sometimes feel what good is it that I ahve two Television sets between three of us and two different connections to cater service.. yahi Zindagi jee raha hoon main.. spending on things I may not be using.. Mobile phones and Internet expenditure (especially the VOIP - I pay for it w/o having used it for months together) is another example.. but Deepak bhaiI think I am not alone in my kind of living.. there are far too many who feel disgusted with what they are doing with their money and still doing what the probably would not have liked..
If there is someway to bring back sanity on News around us feel I would still go for hearing the news on radio than having to watch it on television.. someone said excess of everything is bad. ati sarvatra varjayet..
Love you and Love you all
Abhaya Sharma
Naresh Kapoor wishing u too, a very happy week.

Hi,
आपकी बाते करे
या अपना अफसाना कहे
होंश में दोनों नहीं है
किसको दीवाना कहे
आपकी बाहों में आकर
खिल उठी है जिंदगी
इन बहारो को भला हम किसका नज़राना कहे
राजे उल्फत जिंदगी बार राज रहेना चाहिए
आँखों ही आँखों में ये खामोश अफसाना कहे
Take care
love you
Manisha
My dearest Amithji,
How are you ? & how is London?
Please post some pictures of London. Anything will be ok, you can post the picture of the hotel you stay,the way you see london from your car, just about any picture, but please post, ok? Love to see places you visit thru your eyes.
Your writing prowess can be seen in the opening line of today’s blog.You have described london beautifully! Wow, after such a long flight, you have immediately started promoying PAA! Such stamina!
PAA has already become very popular, everybody , to whom I am showing the promo, their mouth does not close at all , after watching you, how is this possible!?They are all simply spellbound.Needless to say I keep watching the promo thruout the day several times!
If this film does not break any record, then I’ll loose faith in God, that’s for sure!
This week Rohit should be nominated & evicted.That’ll make me really happy. However I can’t imagine you interviewing him! He does not deserve to sit in front of you!let alone chat with you !Wish colours would give some reason & skip the ‘aakhri salaam’ with rohit. Wishful thinking , I guess.
bye for now,
take care,
love you to death,

अगर रख सको तो एक निशानी हूँ मैं,
खो दो तो सिर्फ एक कहानी हूँ मैं ,
रोक पाए न जिसको ये सारी दुनिया,
वोह एक बूँद आँख का पानी हूँ मैं…..
सबको प्यार देने की आदत है हमें,
अपनी अलग पहचान बनाने की आदत है हमे,
कितना भी गहरा जख्म दे कोई,
उतना ही ज्यादा मुस्कराने की आदत है हमें…
इस अजनबी दुनिया में अकेला ख्वाब हूँ मैं,
सवालो से खफा छोटा सा जवाब हूँ मैं,
जो समझ न सके मुझे, उनके लिए “कौन”
जो समझ गए उनके लिए खुली किताब हूँ मैं,
आँख से देखोगे तो खुश पाओगे,
दिल से पूछोगे तो दर्द का सैलाब हूँ मैं,,,,,
“अगर रख सको तो निशानी, खो दो तो सिर्फ एक कहानी हूँ मैं…
Hello Sir************
At # 187 here I have put up two stories (one video, one text) that talk about Amitji’s extraordinary box office track record. Here I offer a couple of examples from the media’s bias against him, completely in evidence even at the very peak of his career:
http://satyamshot.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/some-examples-of-the-anti-bachchan-media-at-bachchans-peak/
At the point of his greatest dominance others were being asserted as the top stars. This would be completely laughable or ‘mad’ if it weren’t so insidious. Amitji here once referred to that notorious Illustrated Weekly of India cover where in 1989 he was called “finished”. he was later offered an apology for this many years later as he related here at some point. But even that cover came about at a moment of some vulnerability for him. These two covers however are printed in his annus mirabilis (’78) , even by his lofty standards possibly the single greatest year of his career and though these magazines were printed at the beginning of the year they were clearly trying to set the terms of debate since they knew what his lineup was! And plus he had been going from strength to strength for quite some time. Again these are but two examples of the garbage the media has regularly churned out at every point of his career.
Umesh.. thanks for your attention.. much appreciated..
Jasmine.. as always… THANK YOU!
Good Morning Amitabh ji.
you are genious person.
Amitji,
Good to know you are in London.
Am hoping PAA is an original story, and not conceived from the 1996 William Robins and Coppola’s JACK.
Synopsis for JACK:
Jack is a 1996 comedy-drama film starring Robin Williams, Diane Lane, Brian Kerwin, Jennifer Lopez, Fran Drescher, and Bill Cosby, and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Williams plays the role of Jack Powell, a boy who ages four times faster than normal as a result of a disease similar to progeria.
I was trying to convince my son, that he should go with me to see PAA when released, and was giving him a general idea of what PAA’s story is, and right away he said mom JACK had a similiar story line. “Would BOLLYWOOD ever come out with an original idea,?” thats what he questioned me???
I do really hope its an orignal idea rather a borrowed story line from HOLLYWOOD.
Have a safe and a very good stay in LONDON.

Hello…How are you? Thanks for you link.
I read your comment at #69 DAY 564 and you write about ‘Thirupura Sundari’ as your Blog name. I read about ‘Thirupura Sundari Temple in Agartala in Tripura, North East.I read a article about “The Tripura Sundari Temple”
For our all our EF maily members
The Tripura Sundari Temple
**********************************
Spread elegantly on a beautiful hillock, standing as an example of female beauty, divinity and sacred energy is the famous Tripura Sundari Temple near Agartala in Tripura. It is located at about 55 kms from Agartala and at about 3 kms from Udaipur, in a place called Radhakishorepur. The temple is regarded as one among the famous 51 pithasthanas which are of immense importance for ardent Hindu devotees. It is believed that Mata Sati’s toe from the right foot has fallen in this place. The temple, because of its religious importance has become a famous tourist destination attracting lakhs of devotees from across the globe throughout the year. Tripura, the state has acquired its name from this famous landmark, ‘The Tripura Sundari Temple’.
History of Tripura Sundari Temple :
The history of Tripura Sundari Temple goes back to as early as 1501 AD. It was originally built for Lord Vishnu. As the story goes, Mata Kali appeared in the dream of the then king, Maharaja Dhanya Manikya and ordered him to shift her from a place in Chittagong, now in Bangladesh to the present temple premises. The structure got damaged heavily due to continuous strike of lightening and was again rebuilt by Maharaja Rama Manikya in 1681 A D.
The Temple Structure : The temple is built more in the typical Bengali-hut style. There are two identical images of goddess Tripura Sundari inside the temple. One idol, which is about 2 feet in height, is referred as ‘Chhotima’ or ‘Chottoma’. The other statue is 5 ft in height. The word ‘Sundari’ refers to being extremely beautiful and attractive. The goddess is a symbol of this incomparable female beauty and unending attraction.The shape of the temple resembles that of a tortoise and hence it is also called as ‘Kurma Pitha’. The statue of Ma Kali is made of reddish black Kasti stone. The goddess is worshipped in the cute little form of a 16 year old budding beauty titled ‘Soroshi’. It is said that the idol of Choti Ma was being carried by the Maharajas at the time of hunting (locally called as Mrigaya) and also during wars.
It is advisable to reach the temple as early as midnight as the temple locks are opened at 4:30 a.m. A puja (Mangal Arati) is offered with a dry sweet offering to the goddess at this time. At around 8 a.m, there is a holy bath, followed by a grand decoration with new clothes and ornaments to the divine mother. It is a treat to see the goddess Tripura Sundari in her fully decked up version. There after the puja is carried out in detail from 10:30 to 12 noon wherein various animal sacrifices like goat (only male), buffalo, pigeon etc are offered to the mother. ‘Anna Bhog’ consisting of rice and variety of curries are offered to the goddess and a part of are distributed among the devotees as the prasadam. The temple re-opens to the public at 3:30 p.m. An evening puja or the ‘Sandhya Arati’ is offered at around 7 p.m which will go on for about an hour. The night supper or the ‘Baikalik’ is offered to the divine mother before she retires for the day at around 10 p.m.
The beautiful lake ‘Kalyan Sagar’ next to the temple is a huge attraction to the visitors with its treasure of fishes and large size tortoise.
A mela is organized on a massive scale during Diwali festival every year. The event attracts lakhs of pilgrims for the special puja offered at the temple. According to the information given to us, the temple administration is currently with Revenue Department of the State.

Paa: The mother of film promotions
Aminah Shaikh / Mumbai November 9, 2009, 0:13 IST
From teaser ads to the Big B visiting schools – the producers are pulling out all stops on marketing.
PaaThe teaser ads last Thursday showed just a bald head inside a cardboard box with a caption saying ‘See you in December’. But that was enough to make Paa a part of everyday conversation.
Such teaser ads, normally associated with an FMCG product, are being used for the promotion of a film for the first time, that too more than a month before the actual release date. Paa, in which Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of a 13-year-old boy with an extremely rare genetic defect that causes accelerated ageing, has many other firsts to its credit.
For one, the Big B is planning to visit schools to educate children about the disease called progeria which makes a person look five times older than his actual age. Says ad veteran R Balki who has directed the film and is the brain behind the campaign: “The story is sensitive, so we have to avoid the usual razzmatazz associated with a Bollywood movie”.
But Balki, who had directed Bachchan in another movie called Chinee Kum, is thrilled with the response that the teaser ads have generated. “The noise level has beaten our expectations,” he says.
It’s also the first time that Aishwarya Rai (Bachhan’s daughter-in-law) will take on the role of overseeing the promotion of the film, which has been co-produced by ABCL Ltd (making it a home venture) and Reliance Entertainment.
In yet another novel experiment, instead of the usual credit titles, Jaya Bachchan will be introducing the cast and crew of the film. Though used in Hollywood, this is the first time that a Bollywood movie will do this.
The content of the film, a emotional story of a father and son, itself is unique – apart from Bachchan playing a 13-year old boy, his son, Abhisek, will the play the role of his father — a big enough reason promoted subtly to generate curiosity.
And all this has been achieved without much cost, says Balki. “Everything has been taken care of by the novelty element which has got people talking. More than making an expensive campaign, our idea was to design it in such a way that more than Bachchan, it’s his character that people talk about,” Balki says.
In any case, the most expensive element in the Rs 16 crore film (the low budget is understandable as it’s a home venture of the two main stars) was Bachchan’s make-up which cost 10 per cent of the total budget. No wonder it used to take four hours to put on the make-up and two hours to remove it.
Analysts say the clever campaigning has done exactly what Balki wanted – Brand Paa has become bigger than the superstar.
Hiren Pandit, Managing Partner of Group M, thinks it’s a brilliantly executed campaign. “The production houses know that the high point of Paa is Bachchan’s character and look in the film. So the campaign is a build-up to that selling point. This has been backed by great PR initiatives which are creating a huge curiosity,” Pandit says.
The other important contributor to the fim’s promotion is its highly interactive website – paathefilm.com. The question – Do you like Amitabh’s Paa look? — has got record response over the last four days.
It’s also for the first time that the Big B is promoting any of his films on his blog.
Film promotion, clearly, has never reached such heights before.
Respected Amitji,
So u are in London for a noble cause and also promoting Paa.. i am sure ‘Paa’ .. is going to be the best movie for another decade!!
Sirji was away for a day to attend a concert and with ur blessings went off very well. I missed posting my comments.. Thanks for those lovely pix with the media… They all must be elated now!!
Haaa sirji ur first line in today’s post is really poetic.. cld get a wonderful glimpse of the wonderful country. I only wish u cld spare some time to meet our friends like Manish etc..
love u lots and with pranaams
archana(bangalore)
Jasmine J - Good to see u rocking. just be urself urself
Manish - thanks for another good initiative . May ur wish come true- ur meeting with ABji.
Sharmila - the list is really amazing and m sure ‘paa’ will have another 20-30 more to its credit.
Vkas - puzzle was veyr interesting .. have saved it.
Saroj, naresh bhatt & naresh - Thanks a lot for ur wishes.
Oh Big B you are all over the world even at this age which is a tribute to your fitness ,hardwork and dedictaion.Ombusdman is a must for Media as we all know how biased their reporting is favouring some and ridiculing others who dare to question them.IBN7 is a very professional channel and their reporting is always unbiased unlike channels like Times,NDTV,Star etc .I think they should come into print media soon also as I believe most print media(especially times group) are also very biased and bought over completely and we all want sincere and honest opinion.
Wheeeee………………..what a pace!Slow down Amitji.Good that I am not ur doctor or else you would have ended up being locked in ur bedroom for ur much needed rest.
DEAR SIR,
I HAVE JUST STARTED READING YOUR BLOG. ITS REALLY GREAT. I SAW TEASER PO ‘PAA’. YOU LOOKED AMAZING.MY GRANNY COULD NOT BELIEVE IT IS YOU. HOPE YOUR STAY IN LONDON IS NICE. ALL THE BEST FOR ‘PAA’.
LIVE LONG LIFE!!!
YOURS,
RADHIKA
My dearest Mr. Bachchan,
You are on a roll once again!! It is your professional hazard, I know, and it has to be done in order to keep the wheels of your profession well oiled and ever poised for unforseen and immediate action! BUT, your health….how does one expect it to understand why it has been so traumatised? Pls do take care of your shoulder pains…it is really worrying to see that it just refuses to go away and you are popping the pain killers still. And don’t you pls write in your brief tomorrow that ’some EF are unduly worried about my health and I wish they would stop doing that’ or something to that effect! Do you really expect us to look the other way, while you suffer so much? If you do, then there is some serious communiction gap between us Mr. Bachchan! And a gross misconception of your relationship with your EF.
You have a very fruitful and a happy trip to London….I wish you a very successful promotional exercise there for PAA too….but all said and done, I think Little Auro is well set to leave a trial of oooooohing and aahhhing hearts behind him….even some broken ones I may add. Cannot remain patient till the 4th of December…wish the release could be preponed…just this once?!
Here’s hoping for your safe return back home, and have you back among us. Take care and remain well….
With love and blessings,
Always,
Kashmira

PAA on Facebook
Respected Amitabhji, i wanted to inform you that i have joined a fan group of the film ‘PAA’ on Facebook. This fan site has many photos and promo clips from the movie and already 6000 plus fans are members of this group.
Sir, i have two sons (twins) 4 years of age with behavourial problems (autism), but we are fighting destiny everyday and i’m sure i’ll be able to pull my children out from this situation which they are going through everyday.
I say this because the tag line of your movie ‘a father son son father tale’ is very inspiring for a parent like me and many others in the world with ’special’ children.
I pray to God for you and your family’s well being always.
Yours truly,
Vinay Bhatia

Hi Sir,
Hope the flight was not too bad even though it was quite lengthy. But, for the noble cause you have arrived for I am sure the flights length is of no comparable significance. Such noble causes are heart warming to hear about and reassuring for those that turn towards the foundation. On the other front, hope all goes well for you in the promotion for PAA in London.
Regards and Love,

Hello Sir,
I just wanted to share this in computer terminology we say “Multi-Tasking” i.e doing more than one tasks simultaneously. I can site that perfect example from what u keep doing so many things at one go and all’s done so well. That is really the spirit which I think inspires everybody.You r such a gr8 acotor,such a gr8 writer which I could get to know after I started reading ur blog. A good singer,a gr8 anchor….My god the list seems endless. But one thing is above all u r such a gr8 human being,so down to earth when we hear u. Waiting for all the release of PAA to see it.
Nivedita
sir its nice to see the paa promos….
you work with so much good actors like, sanjeev kumar, sasi kapoor, vinodkhanna, dharmendra, dilip kumar,

Your short posts at such late hours are touching, but really I dont think anyone here will mind if you skip a day or two and rest…whenever the need arises…please take care!
i forgot mr bachchan you look really sweet in paa but i can tell its you you are such a versatile actor this would be a difficult part to play - but our amitabh can do it i think you will get awards for your performance ! do not worry dec 4 is soon upon us ! i do not think your blog picture is depressing -you just look so deep in thought its a wonderful pic of you dignified handsome aah forget it theres not enough accolades to describe you .enjoy your life .

DEAR MOST SHARMILA,
For today’s comment no: 16.2
Thanks a lot for educating us on our LION KING.
Lots of love
Sonal & Simran
Dear Amitji, Good Afternoon from India and a very good morning in London. Your trip to UK for a cause like you mentioned about head injuries is very much in accordance to your commitment to social causes. Hope such injuries can be minimised and protocol for their management be documented in a way that maximum survivals take place with no after effects.
Paa must be having lots of inquisitive viewers in UK. Your shooting of Paa in UK also must have been a good experience which now you can share with the people because the suspense of Paa face is over. Now the substance of Paa will be tested after its release. I think Paa has lots to enrich the minds of people at large and surely Auro will have his special fan following.
Have a wonderful day and hope you rested well to be fresh for your commitments. The best of a person comes out of his relaxed mind. My regards to those who save lives because of their presence of mind in critical situations. Anticipation also plays a big role in saving lives so also experience sharing and deep knowledge about a subject. I am certainly now having images of you lying on a bench after Coolie incidence and unit members mistaking you of taking rest. Vital minutes lost can change a life forever. Hope one is always lucky to find someone handy who can save vital minutes and life of an injured.
Ravi P Malhotra
Dear AMIT JI !
Hope you are enjoying your visit in London and above it, your work and promotion of Paa is going well !But much important ,Please take great care of yourself and do only that work which your body allow to do.Hope you read this,if not,then there are a lot of comments on Blog regarding your health.Hope you read few of them.Live Long Dearest AMIT JI !
Love you very much and always,forever ,
Take great care of urself ,

My dearest Mr. Bachchan,
Ripples of discord and animosity continue to surface and I so wished to share this with you and our EF here, at this juncture. I hope you and the others will spare the time from your rushed schedules and to go thru it.
Be Love In Action
Love is your Source connection and it is your gift to the world. Through love, you express your divinity and share your Light. Without love, the Earth is in darkness and fear, as those are the energies of the third dimension. When you put your love into action, by loving yourself and others, you bring the energy of higher dimensions to raise the earth’s vibrations. This is your purpose as Emissaries of the Light, to bring love to the earth, and yet, you feel that you have failed because you look for love from the Earth and do not find it. You have forgotten that you ARE love, and putting your love into action is necessary for ascension and transformation.
Your karmic journey is one of seeking love from others, to prove to yourself that love exists on the earth. It does exist, but only because you and others are its source. Love comes from The Source, but it is expressed through you. Until the earth can hold a vibration of love on it’s own, it is necessary for you to express love at all times. It is not enough to love once and expect the love vibration to continue, you must Be Love, in all ways, to all people and in all things. Love yourselves first, because this acknowledges the divine within you, and then love others, which will re-mind them of their own divinity.
You are wounded by others when you expect them to return your love in equal measure. You look to others for love, forgetting that an unlimited love source already exists within your soul. If there is proof of love in the world, it is because you have worked for eons to create the vibration of love for the earth. But this vibration needs maintenance and support and constant replenishing by your willingness to be love in action, to express the vibration of love in all that you do. You are here to teach the Earth about love by being its source.
You are love in action, when you express love from your divine center. This is not love based on the emotions, karma, your obligations or commitments. This is the same love that allows the beautiful flowers to bloom, the sun to rise and the stars to shine. This love is the creation that flourishes all around you, that creates the beauty and splendor of the earth. And it is a gift to you from The Source Of All Things, and those who know and are connected to this love, gift it in turn, to the Earth. Spend each moment expressing love, being love in action and allowing the earth to be supported in its transformation and ascension. This is how you will create heaven on earth, turn fear into love, chaos into peace and show the world its light!
-Jennifer Hoffman
Wiht Love, Light and Rei-ki,

Dear Mr Bachchan,
I’ve been wanting to write a few comments on your blog ever since I heard of it…trouble is, what do I write that you haven’t heard before…does what I write matter?
However different and heartfelt it may sound to my ears and eyes, it will still be trite for a man like you, who’s seen and experienced so much…and if I delve deep down inside, I realise that however non-conformist I wish to be, I too, like the millions, no, billions, in the world, want to shake your hand and congratulate you for achieving all that you have….
I will just share an observation about you that comes across, to me, in the many interviews that you give the media…..
…..I notice you help them get their questions right, as some of then are overwhelmed in your presence….
…..you are extremely charitable in your comments and thoughts to people who sometimes lose their sense of proportion in your presence (esp in the house of Big Boss, a show that you have elevated the standard of, by your unbiased observations, though sometimes if you could request them to admire, respect and love you, and not to be so much in awe (awe to me signifies fear, and distances the people involved rather than bringing them closer) of you, as I think they all are extremely brave in risking their personal relationships, reputations and careers in agreeing to go in there, whatever the compulsion or motivation…
…I think I have said enough…I wish you, more than success, which I think you have moved beyond, tremendous happiness, and extremely good health….
I remember, as a child, how much I regretted being born after the greats of India–Mahtama Gandhi and Nehru had passed away…I want my grandchildren to continue enjoying your movies and public presence, so, like you always exhort us to do, do take very good care of yourself, Mr. Bachchan!
With deepest regards, and warm wishes, Smita Sahay
Amitabh Hello,

24 Days to PAA
I write here, some intresting matter. In movie PAA your Character name is Auro, right ? In Gujarati language 2 meanings of Auro !! One is name of Vegetable ! in ‘ Auro ‘ vegetable, there in a crushed Bringle, and Garam Masala. It’s a verity of Gujarat, Auro ! and another meaning of Auro in Gujarati is ‘ Near’ ! ‘Auro Aav’ means ‘Come Near’ ! what you tell about this ?

Dear Amitji,
Wouldn’t be nice if the movie gets or even the performance gets an Oscar in Paa.
A complete Indian movie, made by Indian diretor, indian production company. Even if Indian govt doesn’t selects this movie, i would wish if ABCL independently takes it to the oscar.
DEVKISHIN VYAS !
Hello and my love and good wishes with you too

Dear Amitji,
Trivandrum sounds pretty much like ur first words today - grim and grey - actually dreary and dull too. Add on my Monday blues to it. Plus my hubby leaves again tomorrow.:(
The morning started out well actually. I saw our kitten, Lim, curled up on the rug outside with her siblings. Such a pleasant sight! Ever since the rains began, they have temporarily camped out under our car. Its either that or the rug - so we either have to carefully maneuver the car out OR jump across the sleeping kitties to get out of our home!
The unwelcome guest was a snake I just spotted, coiled up on our verandah when I got back from work now. Not too big, but enough to scare the life out of me. The rains does bring in a lot of unwelcome creatures too. No more talk about snakes for a while. Ewww…
Hope ur day is going better than mine.
Love,
Aishwarya.

Amitji, I finally got to see Aladin.
I honestly must say I really loved the film.
The digital and special effects are absolutely awesome.
I must admit Sanjay Dutt’s negative role did not do much to my perception of his capabilities.
Your acting was superb as ever as the genie or the genius. Ritesh could have done better with his role, as in some scenes he seemed to be just narrating dialogues with very little passion and ethos.
Jacqueline Fernandez was fantastic in her role. She seemed to ooze out her simplicity when narrating the dialogues. She will be a star soon. Great performance from her.
Now suddenly you are in UK for charitable work once again. And also for the promotion of PAA.
I have read some reviews of PAA and they all seem to be very positive.
All the best in London.
Regards to you and the Bachchan Family.

Zainab, Manish , Naresh kapoor ,Jasmine J - thank you for your comments yesterday.

Sadar Pranaam
Today discovered that you actually are elder to our first Superstar by a good one month and some 18 days..
I was watching the debut film of Rajesh Khannayesterda Raaz, and I found him looking quite different quite unusual than his image which probably got up later with the baharon Ke sapane..
Well, I did read somehwere that Kaka is likely to be part of Bigg Boss 3 that would be some what interesting.. though I already feel that with the entry of Rana.. I did not know him but found him interesting.. and later Vinod Kambli.. so you did finally you did get a cricketer along.. and if Rajesh Khanna enters he maybe allowed to have his ways.. if his drinking is essential for him to keep himself happy and if it is limited to what keeps him in order.. nothing wrong.. in fact you need not show that onscreen.. if husband wife can smooch around why someone who finds a drink a day keeps him in fray is not allowed.. I do not think moderate drinking is bad.. anything in moderation is never bad.. not even cannabis.. no, no, I am not supporting any such acts.. I am not here to propagate the young ones to experiment with these.. yet I would say that labelling someone is not good.. vo kya kahatey hai hindi mein.

प्यास कभी मिटती नही
एक बूंद ब्ही मिलती नही
और कभी रिमझिम घटायें पीछा करती हैं
इसमें कॊई शक नही कि आपकी यह फ़िल्म बहुत ही जानदार थी, कुछ मायनों में बेहतरीन ।

काँच की बरनी और दो कप चाय - एक बोध कथा
जीवन में जब सब कुछ एक साथ और जल्दी - जल्दी करने की इच्छा होती है , सब कुछ तेजी से पा लेने की इच्छा होती है , और हमें लगने लगता है कि दिन के चौबीस घंटे भी कम पड़ते हैं , उस समय ये बोध कथा , ” काँच की बरनी और दो कप चाय ” हमें याद आती है ।दर्शनशास्त्र के एक प्रोफ़ेसर कक्षा में आये और उन्होंने छात्रों से कहा कि वे आज जीवन का एक महत्वपूर्ण पाठ पढाने वाले हैं … उन्होंने अपने साथ लाई एक काँच की बडी़ बरनी ( जार ) टेबल पर रखा और उसमें टेबल टेनिस की गेंदें डालने लगे और तब तक डालते रहे जब तक कि उसमें एक भी गेंद समाने की जगह नहीं बची … उन्होंने छात्रों से पूछा - क्या बरनी पूरी भर गई ? हाँ … आवाज आई … फ़िर प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने छोटे - छोटे कंकर उसमें भरने शुरु किये , धीरे - धीरे बरनी को हिलाया तो काफ़ी सारे कंकर उसमें जहाँ जगह खाली थी , समा गये , फ़िर से प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने पूछा , क्या अब बरनी भर गई है , छात्रों ने एक बार फ़िर हाँ … कहा अब प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने रेत की थैली से हौले - हौले उस बरनी में रेत डालना शुरु किया , वह रेत भी उस जार में जहाँ संभव था बैठ गई , अब छात्र अपनी नादानी पर हँसे … फ़िर प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने पूछा , क्यों अब तो यह बरनी पूरी भर गई ना ? हाँ .. अब तो पूरी भर गई है .. सभी ने एक स्वर में कहा .. सर ने टेबल के नीचे से चाय के दो कप निकालकर उसमें की चाय जार में डाली , चाय भी रेत के बीच में स्थित थोडी़ सी जगह में सोख ली गई … प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने गंभीर आवाज में समझाना शुरु किया - इस काँच की बरनी को तुम लोग अपना जीवन समझो … टेबल टेनिस की गेंदें सबसे महत्वपूर्ण भाग अर्थात भगवान , परिवार , बच्चे , मित्र , स्वास्थ्य और शौक हैं , छोटे कंकर मतलब तुम्हारी नौकरी , कार , बडा़ मकान आदि हैं , और रेत का मतलब और भी छोटी - छोटी बेकार सी बातें , मनमुटाव , झगडे़ है .. अब यदि तुमने काँच की बरनी में सबसे पहले रेत भरी होती तो टेबल टेनिस की गेंदों और कंकरों के लिये जगह ही नहीं बचती , या कंकर भर दिये होते तो गेंदें नहीं भर पाते , रेत जरूर आ सकती थी … ठीक यही बात जीवन पर लागू होती है … यदि तुम छोटी - छोटी बातों के पीछे पडे़ रहोगे और अपनी ऊर्जा उसमें नष्ट करोगे तो तुम्हारे पास मुख्य बातों के लिये अधिक समय नहीं रहेगा … मन के सुख के लिये क्या जरूरी है ये तुम्हें तय करना है । अपने बच्चों के साथ खेलो , बगीचे में पानी डालो , सुबह पत्नी के साथ घूमने निकल जाओ , घर के बेकार सामान को बाहर निकाल फ़ेंको , मेडिकल चेक - अप करवाओ .. टेबल टेनिस गेंदों की फ़िक्र पहले करो , वही महत्वपूर्ण है … पहले तय करो कि क्या जरूरी है … बाकी सब तो रेत है .. छात्र बडे़ ध्यान से सुन रहे थे .. अचानक एक ने पूछा , सर लेकिन आपने यह नहीं बताया कि ” चाय के दो कप ” क्या हैं ? प्रोफ़ेसर मुस्कुराये , बोले .. मैं सोच ही रहा था कि अभी तक ये सवाल किसी ने क्यों नहीं किया … इसका उत्तर यह है कि , जीवन हमें कितना ही परिपूर्ण और संतुष्ट लगे , लेकिन अपने खास मित्र के साथ दो कप चाय पीने की जगह हमेशा होनी चाहिये ।

–MALE–
Yeh hawaaein zulfon mein teri gum ho jaaye - 2
These winds get lost in your hair
Ho, choome nigaahon se chehra tera
Oh, they kiss your face with their eyes
Honton se chhoo le phir daaman tera
They then touch your shoulders with their lips
Apni panaahon mein tujhko bhare
They fill you in their arms
Meri aarzoo ko pareshaan kare
They distress the object of my desire
Yeh hawaaein zulfon mein teri gum ho jaaye
These winds get lost in your hair
–FEMALE–
Yeh hawaaein zulfon mein meri gum ho jaaye
These winds get lost in my hair
Haan, choome nigaahon se chehra mera
Yes, they kiss my face with their eyes
Honton se chhoo le phir daaman mera
They then touch my shoulders with their lips
Apni panaahon mein mujhko bhare
They fill me in their arms
Teri aarzoo ko pareshaan kare
They distress the object of your desire
Yeh hawaaein zulfon mein meri gum ho jaaye
These winds get lost in my hair
Hm, yeh hawaaein zulfon mein meri gum ho jaaye
These winds get lost in my hair
–MALE–
Chhodo bhi ab dillagi
Let go of this mischief
Khwaabon ki yeh zindagi
This life of dreams
Dekho meri aankhon mein
See in my eyes
Chaahat ki deewaangi
The madness of love
Maheki umange, jaagi tarange dil mein mere
Enthusiasm became fragrant, urges awoke in my heart
Yeh hawaaein zulfon mein teri gum ho jaaye
These winds get lost in your hair
O yeh hawaaein zulfon mein teri gum ho jaaye
Oh, these winds get lost in your hair
–FEMALE–
Chhookar tujhko hi aayi hai
Only touching you it has come
Dil pe jo laheraayi hai
That which has waved upon my heart
Chanchal natkhat yeh hawaa
This restless, mischievous wind
Khushboo teri hi laayi hai
Has brought only your fragrance
Rangon ki mele baahon mein khele sang sang tere
A festival of colors rejoices in my arms along with you
Haan yeh hawaaein zulfon mein meri gum ho jaaye - 2
Yes these winds get lost in my hair
–MALE–
Choome nigaahon se chehra tera
They kiss your face with their eyes
Honton se chhoo le phir daaman tera
They then touch your shoulders with their lips
Apni panaahon mein tujhko bhare
They fill you in their arms
Meri aarzoo ko pareshaan kare
They distress the object of my desire
Yeh hawaaein zulfon mein teri gum ho jaaye
These winds get lost in your hair
O yeh hawaaein
Oh these winds
–FEMALE–
(Yeh hawaaein)
These winds
–MALE–
Zulfon mein teri
In your hair

In my hair

Gum ho jaaye
Get lost

Amitabhji,
Gosh, you sound exhausted. I will be the trillionth person to say to you, please take better care of yourself! I hope you got a good night’s sleep last night, the kind of sleep that “knits up the raveled sleeve of care.”
This Sunday afternoon at 3 pm I went to see Aladin, it was “first day, first show” for Austin, Texas; I took an friend along with me as a blind test, as it were, an American who was not familiar with Indian movies nor with you…but he is someone who likes many of the same foreign movies I do (other than Indian) and who also has gone to see many science fiction and fantasy movies like “Lord of the Rings”, etc. with me.
Well, we both loved the movie. I found it captivating from beginning to end. You were a wonderful Genie! Delightfully boisterous, NOT over the top! just the way one would want a genie to be! Everything worked in your various visual looks also, from the kohl lined eyes to the many different suits. We both found the total effect to be quite aesthetically pleasing.
I liked the subtle way we saw you won over to Aladin’s side…from being impatient to grant the wishes and leave, to taking him on as a personal project. The best thing about this was that it was not a change of heart that was over acted (in the over-sentimentalized way some American actors like Robin Williams always do, which I have no patience for).
I found it gratifying that my friend, who was not predisposed the way I am in your favor, liked the movie and your performance every bit as much as I did. I told him about those would be critics who carped about your fighting all those villains at your age as being unbelievable, and he thought as I did that this was idiotic.
Who questioned the formidable battles fought by Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings? No one. Your battles were analogous to those, and every bit as believable within the framework of the story. In short, you kicked ass, sir! With style!
And for people who thought the plot was too convoluted or hard to follow, good grief. I’m sure not a single ten year old who saw the movie had any problem with it. And when one goes to see a fairy tale like this one should always remember to suspend disbelief and become young at heart again.
I think this movie will become a dvd classic, one that children (of all ages, counting myself as one - ha!) will enjoy watching over and over again. Little girls will love the hapless Aladin, and everyone will love the cutest damn genie in the world!
Love ya lots!
Phyllis
hii mr. bachchan ji i m your big fan so
i alway’s see your all movie’s
so sir i pray to god live long life
Dear Carla, Renate Claudia (Yeah! from Bigg Boss3) and all Other German brothers and Sisters and Friends.. (Michael Willig !)
May I extend my heartiest wished for the twentieth anniversary of the reunification after the Berlin Wall was undone.. God bless the Germans for being able to show the path of reunion in todays world where differences are more easily observed amongs the races than realising the commonalities in all our basic needs in life..
Have a great wonderful day and pray that some day India and pakistan too coud reunite and present a similar story to the world where Love and affection are far too important than small differences that may exist amongst us..
I had been a member of max Mueller Bhavan in my college days in Delhi.. I did like German literature.. Franz Kafka and Herman Hesse were my favourite ahead of Sigmund Freud.. I do not want to beleive in some of the theories of Freud.. I will always differ with him on hat one strongest Freudian statement- Sex is the basis of all our actions.. I beg to differ.. I love Carla and Renate and thousands of other women (and even men) it does not and can not always be right.. I definitely do not consider sex to be an important act at all.. maybe I am wrong.. maybe I am absurd.. maybe I am not as social as social may mean to be.. yet I know atleast for me it is not important.. yet I also will have to agree that Freud was right on some of the counts quite well.. and that I did read about him too..
someday I may or may not be ale to speak or understand German in near future yet my love for that country shall not diminish in any way.. and the love is not even one bit for Hitler or Nazi German.. it is for the progressive, hard working and determined Germans..
Yet my love for Germany comes after the love for my own country.. understandably.. and after United States of America not so understandably..
Liebe und Gutten Tag

Dear Jasmine Jaywant,
I think I know now who this “commonsense” is. He is one of the regular EF. His grudge against you dates back to few weeks ago when he did not approve of WOMEN idolizing Mr Bachchan on the blog and you strongly disapproved of his views. That is why he targets you.
You have my support.

Dear Amithab
Had been a fan of you from my teen days who turned 40 this April. Its been very uneasy to read your state of health and pray up upon Allah to give you strength and recuperate soon.
However, always had this in my mind of what the media is being after, regarding the association of Rekhaji with your name. I had seen some snaps of an award winning function where people accusing you of avoiding to greet Rekhaji.
I look upon you as a perfectionist in the industry above all respect should be given to a colleague of you who had worked in lot of good films of yours. Did you really avoided her??
Wish you all the success with PAA.
Love & care
Asif

Wow, what an honor or should I say a priviledge to communicate with you. Thank you for this. I have been a fan since the 80’s when I was just 6 or 7 years old.

appreciate your affection …
Yesterday, my neighbour gave me the DVD of VIRUDHDH with strong recommendations. I watched the movie in one go. Never for a second I felt bored. The direction is tight and competent. There is no cheap commercial input in the film yet it was all absorbing and your lead role dominating all through. Thank you very much for giving such sincere depictions of each role.
Wish you all the best,

Dear Lily - Thank you so much for the warm welcome. After ages I just happened to visit the site yesterday to quickly see what all was going on. To me it looks a diiferent world now. Many unknowns…I have been so much out of touch with it . Yes I have missed the Blog for months due to pressing personal work. Otherwise all OK. Good to see you and other friends in pretty good shape and active here as before. My best wishes to you and all the rest.

Dear Amitabh ji,
I watched your dialogue with Barkha Dutt two days back and realized a great shift in your conduct of ( It seems you were conducting and hence ‘of’ instead of ‘in’ ) a discussion with a media journalist of her stature. That you had transcended all limits in acting is history and I thought Black was the ultimate ( though we know ” Next” as an answer from an artist to a question ” which is your best film ? )
This is my first post on this site, and I must appreciate thoughtful and sugarly intimidating replies from you to evey query from Barkha Dutt. Such videos make good case studies for managment institutes. One always has a common problem on top, media wants to catch you wrong , but with evolution as yours, you command the show !
Wishing You complete 100 Healthy Youthful Years of life, and great success in release of Paa !
grateful and touched by your observation …
Dear Mr Bachchan,
Since you are in london…can you please say hi to my daughter Neha who lives in london.
Thank you,
Madhu.
hi neha .. love ..
Morning MR B!
Sorry to hear about the grey start in London,it is that time of year as you probably know,not very appealing i know ;( But im pretty sure your presence makes up for it! It would make my day bright! I have just come back from walking my dog in the Gloucestershire fields,so foggy you can hardly see! I find it very soothing though no matter what weather.
Hope you don’t mind me chatting about myself?! Just nice to think that the most greatest star may read it..
I’ve only started to write on here. You see im studying computers so one day came across this website and the fact that your highness comes on to chat too so i thought why not!
I was wondering maybe you could say a quick hello? I know of course you get asked that all the time but i do believe in the saying (if thats what it is?) you don’t ask,you don’t get.
My name is Yasmine but the system seems to have chosen jasmine but just in case i catch your eye you know who to address the “hello” to.
Kind regards
Yasmine from uk

Dear Amit Ji,
I am Suhani from Dubai. My Husband is a big fan of yours.He respects you a lot and says if any day I got chance to meet this legend I would touch his feet and take his blessings. He really wants to meet you. Will it be possible for you t0 give us some minutes of your life in India or Dubai? we are planning to visit India somewhere in end of December.
i am not worthy of feet being touched but i do hope we can meet sometime …
Dear Amitji,
Head injury is a common condition given the way we drive and the condition of our roads. Plus the way we disregard all instructions including wearing helmets. While medical science has evolved to manage this condition, I always believe that prevention is better than cure.
I am glad you are now associated with another worthy cause. What are the main objectives of this promotion programme that you are endorsing?
Anshu
to make awareness and to collect funds for this noble cause ..
# 1, 37 & 282 - Anat Magen,
I was online whilst Mr Bachchan was replying to comments. You blessed with two replies. Well done !!
Thanks for your comments. My only wish is for this family to contribute positively and provide a warm hospitality to all, esp new comers to this family.
Thank you for your contributions which I also read with pleasure.
Keep it up.
Love always,

My Lovely Dream…………..
U r there in London for a wise mission. Hope the mission gets success and should be helpful to the really needy people.
What should I say about PAA. I am showing it to anybody, no one is able to recognize u and all r saying that U will definitely get the award. Believe me, I know that U don’t work for awards. U want to do Ur work and love from people all over the world. Don’t worry, this time U will create another milestone. I am sure.
Take care Urself. Eat well, rest well, sleep well. And one more thing, never think that Ur family is not with U. in every corner of this world, U will get Ur EF waiting for U to hug U. we r always with U and will always be with U, my Lord.
Ur one and only
Tumpa
with lots of love and pranam

Hi,
Aaj jane kyu jee udas hai…..
मै अधुरिसी एक उदासी हु
मै ख्वाब हु या ख्वाब की प्यासी हु
भूरे भूरे बादलों के पीछे से
आये कभी मुझे उडाये
कोई पानी का गोला है
आँखों में घोला है
मै अधुरिसी एक उदासी हु
खुशबू सी निकलती है तन से
जैसे कोई गुजरे बदन से
आँखों का सपना है
बोले तो अपना है
मै अधुरिसी एक उदासी हु
आसमा का एक कोना एक उठा के
चूमता है नींद से जगा के
जैसे कोई सपना है
वैसे तो अपना है
मै अधुरिसी एक उदासी हु
मै ख्वाब हु या ख्वाब की प्यासी हु

Dear Sir,
You are in London! Welcome home Sir! A privilege to have you with us. Enjoy your stay and kindly let us know if you need anything.
Day 565 Post - You gave an audience to the journalists, kind of a lesson in journalism I would assume. It would have been a learning experience for them as much gratifying to be able to be in your company and interact with you. This talk of Ombudsman..one would hope that it would not be too difficult the plan into practise, to make it effective, to make it work. I would hope that bribery and corruption amongst those who are elected to run the programme would not interfere with decision making.
As can be observed from the photos, you have interacted with many presumably at various locations. I can sense your concerns that Paa gets the exposure and the justice it very well deserves. The fact that this is a home-production perhaps adds to the anxieties…have none! It will do well! The concept is unique, the casting is unique both in terms of the real-life relationship of the main characters as well as the age factor of the person
playing the lead role. The other thing that is unique is the huge volume of responses and the tremendous support received from the public and media alike when the first promo was broadcast. All the positive signs are there. Of course it will do well!
I hope the charity function goes well for you and all involved. Such deeds of humanity bring satisfaction to oneself in spite of the storms weathered by the mind and the body. Are you going to be resting for at least a few hours? Do you have any plans to seek advise on your persisting shoulder pains from the specialists? Are you then going to call at any one of your FmXt for dal roti? No? What if I add bhindi? Still no? Yes!!! remember now.!! Are you coming to tell us about Paa? We are so…so…eager to learn more about it…Auro is coming home? (reminds me of “ET go home..”) Make a wish come true you Genie! Genie is laughing now…
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Love,
Daksha
Dear Jasmine ji,
I read your little message to me a couple of days ago. No need to say thank you. If we EFs really think about it, out of 566 days that Mr Bachchan has been blogging, how often have we disagreed with him? I would say 99% of our comments we have shown we carry deep respect and love and affection for him. Is it ever possible to have a genuine interaction with the other without a difference in opinion? Nahin na? Our interaction with him is as sincere as genuine and I am proud of it. Sincerity is not a quality that all carry. I have noticed flattery for Mr Bachchan on one hand and the same person poking a needle into the skin of another person time and time again. I really fail to understand why they behave in such manner when one has never even looked in their direction other than in their hour of need..I can only wish them well.
Love and best wishes,
Daksha

Dear Amitji,
I am happy 2 know U R in London right now. At this moment I recollect an old sweet memory that in 2003 I had a golden opportunity ( by the grace of God ) 2 meet U personally on Hithraw airport, London. We were returning 2 Mumbai in the same flight : British airways. I had a nice talk with u & had taken ur autograph, too which I have preserved carefully till 2day. I cannot forget that event throughout my life, Sir…I am a great fan of urs. I have seen & enjoyed most of ur films & I am proud of U that U R still active in spite of ur some health problems. Besides being a private medical practitioner, I am a poet & a writer in Gujarati. Sir, I am from Surat , Gujarat, a city of a big actor Sanjeev Kumar ( Hari Jariwala ). Hope U R fine. Ok…Bye…Take care & keep in touch.With Warmest Regards, Very Truly urs…DILIP MODI ( MBBS )

Dear Amitabh jee
Im one of the biggest fan of yours and have all the movies in my collection which are available in any form and my whole family is your fan even my 9 year old son ahsaas and my daughter tamanna. PAA seems to be a fantastic movie and we all are eager to watch it. we wish you all the best and may god give you a very long life . Ive just lost my mother a few days back so wishing you a long life. God bless you and your family.
dear amitji, i look forward to Paa and its like the release is not soon enough… and… wonder if youll look at this..
but why not at least take in one theatre play? im sure youd do great.. like jayaji was great is Ba retire… we gave her a standing applause, she was great… and i think you too would be great to see on stage… really sir.. do it… looking forward to that decision.
kind regards.
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
I want to follow you on twitter. Can you please give me the details (username and/or profile name) so as to enable me to search your profile and follow you on twitter too.

Hello, sir!!!
Did not you forget about me?Thank you!!!
One is only exhausted when ones spirit flags. You are looking better than ever, have also put on some weight and in your mind you have decided that you have miles to go before you sleep. I add my good wishes to that. However, your family & fans would like to see you around alap so do not overdo it. I was in a freezer of a place a fortnight ago & realized that one needs to have a lot of warm liquids to remain rehydrated in artificial heating.
There is a line in Jaane Bhi Do Yaron - thoda khao, thoda pheko. If all of us followed that by doing our bit for the less fortunate even whilst in pursuit of ambition, it would make a decided difference. So more power to your elbow. Goreyan nu dafa karo!
amithab sir,
iam krishna.boddapati of 24 years old just completed B.Tech from hyderabad till yesterday i have great confusion about my future and my strength to achieve success in my life.
yester day in my uncle home i had seen ur starred movie trailer of ”paa”.
then i was totally shocked by ur getup and acting.the next minute i got answer to my question which are eating mind, now i am very much ready to face any problem in my life and i got confident about what can i do.thank you sir. and i am saluting to your quest in desired and loved proffesion. if all of our youngsters can have a glance into amitabs life we can really make our mother India in a penacle of world senario, which swamy vivekanand dreemed about our mother India. i am wishing you have a long live.i have little idea about bollywood, from now i turned as a big fan of bigbee.

Thank you for taking time out from your round the clock schedule and giving us so many replies today. My work day has now started on a much happier note.
Good luck on making a London premiere of ‘PAA’ happen. I now wish i had postponed my London trip!
Love,

Dear Amit Uncle,
I appreciate your thinking of contributing towards such social issues. Its very important. But these days the news channel have changed the trend and way of showing news. The television news today has become so virtual and fake. It is entertaining rather than being serious. Even news has suspense. News merged with animated footages of destruction and war with those heavy voice overs. Uncle, I think it is time to change the trend of the Media again. And I have the gut feeling that you would do it for sure.
I am an aspiring film maker but am presently working in the Telecom Field. I often write. I would like to tell you about the script which I am writing. The title of my script is POWER IN DUST.
A few lines from Power in Dust
Where a soul begs for mercy,
And the Satan says I am Christ,
So to live a life is must,
Where there is Power in Dust
Thanks uncle. Take Care
With Respect and Love

So you are in London, as we could figure out. You can’t hide from our virtual eyes. They follow you all over, except those places where no man has ever gone before.
9 hours flight, J-lag, all day media conferences , replies to their questions with a focus on giving everyone the due diligent attention, presenting yourself in finest of your look, are good enough reasons to drain the brain to an extreme without a doubt. But I guess, your fingers are somehow working on different mechanism and invincible attitude , where they get energy from your Mac’s battery and gets refreshed through its CPU clock cycle and not to forget our immense love can be blamed for this magic.
I wish you all the best for Head Injury Foundation Charity get together for HH the Maharaja of Jodhpur, Gaj Singh ji. Kindly share your inputs with all of us to educate us more on this front.

Read with interest a few suggestions on “tracking.” As am in the field. Thanks to our Reliance Web Worlds in every nook & cranny, Bigadda might end up tracing pseudonyms to it’s own computers! IF such tracking were possible, that is …or permissable by law. Also, if you ask me, I don’t think I have come across Abuse as such on this blog for some months. 9-10 months back or so, it was bad. I remember some punk writing about keeping Ash’s picture in his jockey etc. Why did nobody take up cudgels for the lady then? Obviously there isn’t even moderation done here. Anyway, I’m only what is called a “floating” customer now. Read it sometimes when there is a mention in the newspapers.Couldn’t stomach the ranting…

Dear Amitji,
How are you doing ?? wanted to share a lovely email with you and all EF so posting it here.. hope u will like it ..
Source of problem…
A man feared his wife wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.
Here’s what you do,’ said the Doctor, ’stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and s o on until you get a response.’
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, ‘I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens.’
Then in a normal tone he asks, ‘Honey, what’s for dinner?’
No response.
So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, ‘Honey, what’s for dinner?’
Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, Honey, what’s for dinner?’
Again he gets no response so, He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. ‘Honey, what’s for dinner?’
Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her. ‘Honey, what’s for dinner?’
‘James, for the FIFTH time I’ve said, CHICKEN!’
………………………..
Moral of the story:The problem may not be with the other one as we always think, it could be very much within us
love adi..
WELCOME TO LONDON!Dear Mr AB,lovely to have u here,enjoy the lovely winters….may your stay b warm n comfortable.Paa promos look nice,u r once again at your best!love n warm regards-Dee
Dear sir,

I have lost my young brothers just before last week from fatal Head injury age appx 35 years( only son of mother’s widow sister) .
Thank you again sir! for your effort to help to victim people.

kaha ho aap .. mujhey notification kyo mil rahi hey ?
Sandip #301: Thank you so much. You have hit the bull’s eye. It is quite easy to connect all the dots, and others on the blog have written to me personally as well to say they think it is him. People are catching on. It is quite transparent that he can’t let go and move on with his life — he is on a mission to take revenge.
The truth shall prevail. It always does. My conscience is clear. He will be exposed, sooner or later. Even if not, we all know the truth anyway.
Thanks again,

Dear Bacchan Sir,
You are the only (ONE)actor on this planet, whose movies I watch like rewind & play, rewind & play…. I try and practice your dialogue, right from movie Zanjeer till date, even today I can’t get 10% of your dialogue delivery.
We as an Indian are blessed to have MR.AMITABH BACCHAN., who himself created one of the landmark in our country (INDIA) and in film fraternity across the globe. Even in overseas we feel proud to say this man is from my home country.
ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR UPCOMING FILM —- “PPA”
MAY THE CHOIEST BLESSING OF GOD ALWAYS BE SHOWERED UPON U AND UR FAMILY

yehi site kyo hang ho jaati hey baki kyo nahi hoti ..

hello koi hey vaha ?
ye site kyo aatak jaati hey ?
Dear Amitji,
Its great to see thru your blog and greater to see the replies to you by your beloved fans. I want to thank you for the commendable work you are doing by enlightening thousands of Indians and others throughout the world.
PAA is SIMPLY G R E A T !!!. People’s memories are short lived. The very same guys who were passing those unhealthy comments on ABCL will be eating their own words this time. Hats off to you and the whole Bachchan Family for continuing ABCL inspite all the ups and down it went through. Since I too run an industry, I know how it feels to be elevating the once bankrupt company to a higher level inspite of all the odds. PAA is going to be a very BIG HIT and ABCL a very BIG Entertainment Business. !!
I lost my father few years ago. I didn’t have good interaction with him about anything in this world. But, I feel you are much closer to me than he was. Infact, even my brother Vijay. We both love all your movies and used to go and watch them together many times. We were and are Crazy about you.
Just LIVE ON & ON OUR DEAR AMITABH BACHCHAN.
sir,
The life war has been over, no need to say that u r a legent because its fact.
Some times I became my self as AMitabh Bacchan , and i try to feel that what is the struggle in real life. that running here and there any trying to be away from each and every controveries which are related to be nation . Sir we better Understand you , U r at that stag that if u r having a feeling for the nation but that also u cannot express in front of people because it takes the face of controveries and the stupid party get the way to say you .
When in news , something wrong is said about you , i cannot sleep in the night because i think that what that man has done . Unnecessasry he is getting blamed by certain people. U r The Pride for Our Uttar Pradesh n For the Country
Respected, Sir If u Read this message then please just closing Your eyes for 2 seconds i will understand that u r thinking about me, sir plzzzz, WE all r such people that we cannot see you but we can express our feeling through this mediam…
Amitji,
Your simple one word reply will shake the whole world for me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awwwww Auro, I LOVE YOU TOO>>>Thank you for the doodle!
Hello Again,
I wanted to mention this for a very long time but kept forgeting.
Firstly, I watched the trailer of PAA and it is amazing.
I think this movie will touch everyones heart. This movie is an extra mile something YOU will leave everyone including your contenders way behind people will wish to do something like this but if they do it will be said as copying the original the Big B.
Secondly, this concept is not new - I am not criticizing or anyything.
If you have watched the movie called “Jack - Starring Robin Williams” same concept and was a good movie very touchy also. But I believe Paa will be a lot more better because it is based on realistic approach with your outlook where in Jack Robin Williams was just in his natural look.
Thats that.
Above all I am hoping and wish that this movie breaks all the records, and not financialy but critcally makes all the gongs GONG and there remains no one to Challenger THEE.
WHo cares for Oscards. I don’t give a damn. But they say some times you have to glitter to get noticed so hopes on first the movie to succeed then to be nominated for all the awards and IF no Politics play around the movie should go to Oscars and you get nominated and WIN……….I am asking for a lot ain’t I.,,,,,, Well its ok sometimes you have to ask for everything.
Good luck
Auro, why r u not doodling to me..??? wwwaaahhhhhhhhhh
dear amitji
Hope your pain is better today.Your inner reserves of strength are really limitless.your determination to follow a gruelling schedule is a source of inspration for all of us.But please do take care.
this is the second time that I’m writing to you.I hope someday you find tme to read my letter.That will really make my day. Reading and hearing about your blog made me want to read it too.now I am hooked to it
bye
Dearest Mr Bachchan

My day, which started on such a high after seeing your generous reply to me has turned into a nightmare. Just before my shift was scheduled to begin, I was called into the office, and as a 50th birthday(2 days away) present was told that my job has been terminated after over 25 years due to the loss of the Florida sports service. I am too upset to type any more.
We love you too dear ‘ AURO’.
What can weeeee do for youuuuuuuuuu…..FMXT.
I looooooooooooooove AURO’s photos to be displayed on the home page of the blog.. This incredible lovely angel had totally reigned my emotions… love HIS lvely hand writting… just imagine him saying these words ” Hi, FmXt.. it is me Auro.. LOVE YOU ” with his amazing, angelic voice.. WE LOVE YOU TOO AURO… LOVE YOU SO MUCH.. xxxx
Thank you for your precious reply… you made me happy.. you always do.. that is why i adore you.
Respected Sir,

Dear Jasmine Jaywant,
If he is the guy and that is the reason he is doing this to you then this is pretty serious. I think he intends to break you. His views on women suggests he seems to be going through deep rooted psychological problems. BIGADDA ought to take this matter seriously.
Sandip
Thanks for changing the top photo. Hi Auro. This is one of the FMXT. Love,
you too. You are just too cute!!!
Love,
Rochelle
Thank you Mr Bachchan for the reply,
; the photo on the blog has shrunk (or rather cropped) is it normal? Nothing serious, it’s just the visual habit 
I have a tiiiiiiiiiiiiny Remark
.
# 416 Rochelle, sorry for what happens, I hope things will get better very quickly. Wholeheartedly with you.
Love
Merci lovely note from AURO
Now, I understand why the picture had shrunk at first, … to be the size of Auro.
Hello Mr.Bachchan,
Just saw the promo of Paa. Found to be excellent and eually curious to watch the movie. I only hope childrens do remember Auro after watching the movie as they did after watching Taare Zameen Pe.
God Bless & Take care.
With all due respect to you Amit ji,
Dont you think the looks has something to do with “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” ?
I am sure that the movie is totally different but I find the looks very similar.
Hey Auro
I am twice your age! So don’t play hide and seek with me 
?! once you’re on the photo once you disappear? My comments will seem crazy! ha ha ha 
Sirji…very much delighted to see the new poster of Paa…Auro’s writing is great….:)
Clearly I am seeing light in the tunnel and success is going to happen with leap and bound.
For your as well as for FMXT~
Its sad to see the ugly behaviour of 4 elected MLAs of one party manhandling an MLA of another party who was taking Oath in Hindi in Maharasthra Assembly.Now the level of Politics has gone down to such a low level where politicians are doing rajniti of lang, caste, creed. Why they are not concentrating on other big issues like drought, hunger, infrastructure, education, housing, roads…etc. Why always they try to mislead the normal janta on this kind of baseless issues???
I don’t know Sirji or any of our EF having its answer…..
With love and warm regards,
MANOJ KUMAR OJHA

Dear Rochelle,
Sorry to hear about your job getting surplused. Shocking news! !
There is a reason for every event, as Amit ji emphasized in last week’s BB3 on Ismail’s eviction, thus keep trust in you.Things will turn better again.
As I asked ‘Auro’ , I will ask you as well:
What can we do for you?……FmXt
Dear Sir,
How do you keep yourself fit with this erratic hours ?.. Sleeping late at nights and then getting up early for work… Even we at such a young age feel dragged after a couple of days of late night hours… Hats off to you for managing yourself so well… Stay fit always
Was watching Agneepath (lost count of the no. of times) on television today… PAA tussi great ho …. Sir, how do you potray so much of anger when you yourself are a polite and modest person… ( Stupid question to ask this to the best actor in the world)..
Take Care
With lots of luv and respect

Dear Baboomushi,
I can’t believe that you are auro of Paa.Incredible & unbelievable. I am really looking forword to see this film. What is the secret of your energy & perfection?. Those 5 hours of makeup & 1.5 hours to remove it and then to give justice to the character. What good deeds you have done in the past so that god wants all these incredible things to happen through you. Please guide us to become & think like you.
Really, I can not believe this. Also i am deeply in love with your role in Baabul. And what a great & touching song ” Kahata hai Babul”. Honestly, you have sung better then Mr. Jagjit Singh (Especially emotional part). Also i liked you best in Sharabi, Hum & my most favourate film of you in recent time “Aakhari Rasta”.
I would like to share with us your experience of working with another my favourate actor Rajesh Khanna. What a film like Anand & Namak haram. Why both of you did not worked after Namak Haram?. We were deprived of definately great films with both of you together.
Have a nice time in London. Take care of your health.
Regards,
Rohit Kulkarni
Amit ji,
I have watched the Coffe with Karan episode hundred times where you and shahrukh khan were there and Jaya ji was guest.
Jaya ji was absolutely rite when she said that you two are very special people of God. Not everyone gets to deserve so much of respect and love from thousands of people.
I came to prateeksha and waited for 2 hours to get a glimpse of yours. Then finally had to go when my friends started shouting.
I want to tell u one thing. Pls cut down on your work. Do take rest.
ohho….missed u again today!!!!
love…muah
Manoj,
This is the same discussion with Barkha Dutt on twitter.
BDUTT fact is- not enough people in mumbai speak up against Raj ’s brand of politics anymore. he has managed to create atmosphere of fear
Sudhirstwit @BDUTT Whats new about that. This has been a tool since the days of the formation of states. Name a rogue politician who hasn’t used it.
Love
Sudhir
Dear Amit Ji
Recenly I was reading an article on happiness and a life full of joy. You being an icon, are supposed to be very happy in your life. I, out of curiosity, wanna ask what happiness in life means to you? what is your mantra for being happy and having a rocking life? Please do answer as it will quench the thirst of my curious brain.
thanks

Sir, I wish you a great success in life. I also wish a great success for Paa. You are a great actor and a non-controversial man. Just one advice to you sir ‘whomsoever it is trying to create a contoversy for you, just neglect them sir. Dont even give a reply sir’. Because ‘a person falls into a gutter or gutter comes on a man, there is a disadvantage for the man only’.
Hi Amitji,
All I can write is Balle ! Balle !; Shava! Shava! to you ,for making so many EF so Happy today,for your successful London sojourn , for a worthy cause, and for ably promoting Paa there!
And a BIG Shabash to Aishwarya Bachchan, for her very commendable contribution to restore ABCL to its former glory !!

Welcome to London Sir,
You seems to be everywhere, last week in Lonavala and now in London.
to me.
I am feeling good as I am in central london, writing this and you are closest somewhere in London
Have a Goodtime, winter has started here!!, I remember ‘Chini Kum’ movie and Lord’s ‘the Mecca of cricket :-)’

Hi Mr. Bachchan,
I am writing this on behalf of my aunt. She can’t read your blog because she can’t access it from work, but makes me give her a weekly update (daily sometimes) of what you have done. (she lives in another country from where i live) So on her behalf we are wishing you a wonderful day!
Love and Laughter,

Hello Big B,
Greetings. I think you are the one who can say in the big boss show and ask big boss to do something to expose the evil intensions of Rohit. And Big boss could hae again nominated 4 people instead of 2 so that Rohit could have been nominated.
Pls help the truthful and Voice against the evil.
Regards
Sumeet
# 441 - Rohit Kulkarni,
I so completely agree. This song, Kahata hai Babul is sung so much more better than Jagjit Singh. No discredit to him but the Bachchan version seems much more personal and emotional.
Strange that this is not on the Baabul CD ?? Where can I get it ?
Love always,
Manish Parmar, UK.
OMG.. Love the new Pics.. They are awesome.. & strike a chord in my heart. Love, love, love these pics. Really looking fwd to watching this movie on the big experience.. Hope you are enjoying London..
All my love as always,Archana Detroit.
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
I am a huge fan of your and you probably have heard this from many other fans. Me and my papa watch all your films and our favorite is Zanjeer and my personal favorite is NAMAK HALAL. It’s a great honor to have read your personal blog and to be able to reply to it. I am eagerly waiting for the release of PAA, this is film to look up too.
All the very very best for the promotion of PAA.
Thanking you for reading this, if you get to it…

Dear Uncle,
I need your help in a certain matter. I’m getting married next year. However pandits say I’m manglik.
We all remember how Aishwarya bhabhi, with all dedication, went ahead to perform all those rituals (before marriage) for the safety and well being of her husband and families. I do too. I only wanted to know how and whom to approach.
I hope you would pass on this information soon..
Thanks
Hello AMIT JI !

Dear Auro, I am jealous of you and also very much envious of you because you have the power of hiding one of the greatest actors of our life time. Mr Amitabh Bachchan has had the distinction of being inside you and totally lost his identity. You have absorbed him like sponge absorbs water. He is immersed in you and you have over taken him. Infact I am afraid he is about to loose his earlier identity of 40years. His track record is likely to be wiped out and a new identity of Auro is going to represent him. Already you have taken over his blog’s picture position as if you as a kid would take family head’s position on the dining table. I am afraid you would pose a threat to possesiveness of Mr Bachchan’s grand-children. I don’t know how one can steal himself from himself and Auro you are infact Mr Bachchan but still you have stolen Mr Bachchan from Mr Bachchan. How can you do this to a man of 67 years that you steal his identity forever and give him a new name. Auro Amitabh Bachchan.
Anyway I had predicted this would certainly happen a few days ago and now I see my words taking reality and something slipping from our midst and that is Mr Amitabh Bachchan being replaced by Master Auro. You are a child so we cannot say much to you but only this much that where were you for so long. For so many decades no one thought about you. And now all of a sudden when you appear we see our legend succumb his position to you. Hope you will do justice to his position and remain yourself a legend forever as long as people view cinema for many many more generations.
One little joke my new found friend Auro I want to ask you. Don’t you look or resemble Mahatma Gandhi ? Wish you a very happy journey of your life because you are born 13. Unlucky for many but may be very very lucky for you and also for the man hiding in you our very own Shri Amitabh Bachchanji.
My regards to those characters which were created by figment of imagination but lived to rule the imagination of billions forever after their birth.

aareyyyyy waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
kya baat hey ?
PAAAAAAAAAAAAA with us gaurav ji
Hi Auro,
Thank you for wonderful note. Can we be friends? I would like to know more about you. I guess I will have to wait till Dec 4th!
Dear AB,
Creative imagination and communication of it is very important and so here I am once again. Paa surely deserves all marketing power of Relience and personal touch and energy of Anil Ambani. Without Hollywood studio muscle to get proper & wide release here in US is surely a task and U will have to take that challange and provide an example. U boldly have taken the route of going alone and without any foerign big money/collabration and that must be appluaded and transumated into greatest sucess. We all are with Paa.
Sir,
Can I please meet you in London?
Only for 4 minutes. I can immitate your son too (never seen that on TV performed by anyone)
You can transform the life of a 25 year old by just giving away 4 minutes of your valuable time.
Or maybe you can just call me on 07854084863
I would be the happiest lad on Earth for that particular day you call me..
And, Amitji, another favour, please watch the movie - Zeitgeist Addendum (if you haven’t already)
THANKS!
Ajith
Auro..ji hI
hOw ArE You ?
Aap sooye naii aab tak ..
haai hamko miss kar rahe hey kya ?
i am sure that it will only do best to the promotion of Paa when you take the time you are there to promote the movie..i hope it will be a big hit there as well….its a good thing you do that…its allways does good to a film when ever you take the chance to promot it to other ppl and other states…i hope it will be here in israel soon…
i hope you will have a good night sleep and fill better…When i showed my friends your picture from paa
No one believes me that this is you.
Even after they saw the promo they still sayed it can’t be you.
I’m sure you will have a lot of success with paa.
By the way, i liked you very much in the song ‘you mey be’
from Aladin.LOVE!!!

After watching promos of Auro the” paa ” the members of your growing EF have bonded with you closely . They now identify themselves more with Auro than Amitabh Bachchan!!!Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
Dear Sir,
How was Abhishek as a father and when is the music releasing.All the best and waiting eagerly for the movie which I will watch first day first show.

Dear Amit Ji ,
Why is it that seeing u in PAA reminds me of Bradd Pitt of “the curious case of benjamin button” ? Does the similarity end here ?
hi rochelle hope you get a job soon,take care
Sir
Its a great pleasure to watch two people in the country - you and sachin tendulkar. you are an idol to everyone in india. Keep doing the good work and best of luck for your next movie.

Sir,
The promos of the movie ”paa” have been quite interesting and amazing.it makes us think , when we see the promos of ”paa”.One small request i would like to convey to you, sir ? could you help in getting some funds to the flood victims of people in andhra pradesh ? plz, sir.
Amitji
Namasthe
I remember at some program, which I watched on the TV. There was a young girl to give an award - Make a wish foundation - You just accepted the gift, I dont even remember you patting on the head. It was surprizing you said nothing to the kid. As you have been spontaneous with your actions. I also remember at the inauguration of BIG BOSS 3 you carried Bhakthiyar/Tanaaz kid.
Hope the Head Injury Foundation Charity program at London went off well. Presence for a good cause.

HELLO Mr.Аmitabh-jee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for congratulations. I am very very very happy and flattered. My nephew recklessly likes an actor your colleague and friend Mr. Shahrukh Khan. He is a little put restraint you to write about the request. He simply dreams to receive message ot him, but for him it is not such blog as for you. Would not you could to help my nephew??????????????????????????????????
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Amitji,
I am really surprised by your ability to work hard and that too with zest. You are a superstar but going beyond that you are a super human being. You are a gifted artist, but inspite of that you abide by the basic rule of Karma i.e. ‘Do Your act well, work very hard, give it 100% and then stop worrying about it, as any type of hard work never goes unnoticed.’ Dear sir you are a super celebrity, but even after that you work hard, you do not hesitate to embrace new things. You connect to the young and the old alike. If any actor studies you no doubt he will be a better actor, but what I want to stress here is that anybody, be it a doctor, an engineer, a clerk, a coolie, a rich industrialist, a poor fellow, a common man will be successful in his chosen field if he studies you. Because you spread the mantra of hard work and courage not so verbally but by your actions.
Love to you Amitji.
Uday Chavan.
Hello Amit,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!!
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
I do hope you are keeping well in the grim weather in London and of course keeping as busy as you always do! I do follow your blog frequently,but regrettably don’t write in as often.
I would just like to say (or rather repeat what millions say/think of you everyday), YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION and of course, thank you for what you do! It is such a delight and learning to see/hear you, be it Social messages/ads/TV/Interviews/films…surpassing yourself every day,with every thing you do/say.
Ever since the promos of Paa have released, my day isn’t complete unless I’ve seen the clip at least 4/5 times, and of course have the music and image of you in the scene with Vidya Balan running thru my head!!!
I would like to wish you and cast/crew of Paa all the very best for the movie, though its already a winner! And would also pray that God continues to bless you & family with health,peace, success & that (creative) urge to always better urself, come what may!
With respect & warmest regards, Nameeta
amitabh ji i want to know that you read comments by ur fan ?
i think u r buisy man u dont have time to do so.but still we write to u i hope that one day u will reply to us.
gud nyt!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Rochelle
I am so incredibly sorry to hear you are losing your job. I do know exactly how it feels because it happened to me, just over a year ago. I was devastated, and quite honestly still haven’t got over it.
If it is any consolation whatsoever, these media cutbacks are happening everywhere, and some of my most talented and hard working friends have been hit. In my case I was axed partly because I stood up to my superiors during a project I felt extremely strongly about, and was marked down as ‘difficult to work with’ despite all the many, many others over all the years who had said quite the opposite. So life is certainly not fair and it’s important to TRY not to take it personally, however much it feels that way.
But life does go on, I did find another job (after much searching) even though it doesn’t give me nearly as much satisfaction as the old one. But I’m still in the game, and can afford to keep my cats in idleness and luxury - and buy the odd cinema ticket!
You clearly have SO many strengths and enthusiasms and a huge amount of offer, and once you recover from the initial shock will discover that there IS life out there that can offer different and hopefully better things.
And at least you have SO many amazing Bachchan films coming up AND Paris next summer… definitely LOTS to look forward to.
With love and huge sympathy, Daisy
Sometimes the computer errors are a blessing

Well, when I want to see Auro’s pic in the top of the blog page, I use Fire fox or Internet Explorer, and if I want to see Mr BACHCHAN (the BigB with capital letter of course) I uses Google Chrome,… what dream!
This is the first time a technical problem delights me as much :))))

# 415 - Rochelle,
I too would like to offer my regret after hearing your news. I am in the same situation.
Love always,
Manish Parmar, UK.
Rochelle #415: I am SO SORRY! That is horrible. I know how you must feel. This is a terrible bow. Hang in there, Rochelle. It will be rough, but ultimately God will look after you. They say when He closes a door, he opens a window. (I know you don’t believe in Him, but I do.).
I can come to the city and take you for a cup of coffee, if that’s okay with you.
Love, and lots of it, and a hug as well,

With lots and lots of respect my dear Amit jee,
My wife was in the hospital yesterday for 7 hours, thank God she does not have Swine flu, they conducted all the tests and sent her home.
Amit jee , please somehow post the link, I have to hear your punjabi interview on Balle balle radio, I tried looking for it but could not.
Satyam brother you always find stuff on Amit jee , could you please find this one for me, I just want to hear Amit jee speaking Punjabi.
Lagata hai ab meri kismat mein aapse jawab paana nahin likha hai, pure 3 months in Singapore I didn’t get a reply from you and now you don’t reply and when you do, that would be the day I would not be able to write to you.
At home, taking care of wife down with flu.
Watched Aladin few days ago, it was’t bad as reveiwes were claiming it to be. My kids enjoyed it. It was like as if the film was shot infront of me, I could remember so many scenes how they were shot because when they were being shot, you were writing to us with pictures.
How about every interveiw, every event that you go to come to our blog. You do take your cameraman everywhere so post it for us Sir. Why do I have to look for your punjabi interview, I am your family , it should come to our blog first before anyone else gets to see it.
Little depressed and worried about wife, she has really bad flu. Thinking of God, my kids, her well being and you.
Ismail Darbar made me cry when he cried and asked for your blessing. Such a humble soul he is. I love people when they show respect for you. I will always wish well for him. Aaap hain pita samaan.

Dear Mr. Bachchan
How come I see the same old photo from Rann and not from Paa? Reading others responses it appears that some can see a different picture on top.
Lakshmi
Dear, sweet Auro,
I love your spirit — you seem to be such a fun-loving, masti-filled guy! Nice job of the handwriting too! Keep it up.
Can you please take a message for me to one of the world’s greatest actors, a man I respect immensely and love deeply? His name is Amitabh Bachchan. Can you please tell him not to be mad at me? Tell him that I’m very sorry that I upset him and put in a word for me that he should forgive me, as I am not really not a bad person, and I LOVE him so much. You see, he is not talking to me, and that is making me so sad.
I am about to cry.
Please keep dancing in front of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, Auro, till he throws his head back and laughs his deep laugh, relents and says he has forgiven me, and starts talking to me again.
Thank you, Auro. I know you will do this for me. You are such a sweetheart.
Love to you, and love and regards to Mr. Bachchan, aka my Amitji,
Sincerely,
Jasmine Jaywant
Dear and Respected Amit Ji,
This is the first time I am writing to u and my emotions are uncontrollable. I love the way u look in Paa and the way u say Paa in the promos. Its amazing to see u act like a child. I am going to have my first child in Jan. I am excited and at the same time anxious. Please respond to my mail.
Take care and thanks.
Love as always…….
gr8 to see the poster changed to have PAA feel everywhere….
YOU ROCK SIRJE………..Gud9t n swt drms….
post your blog in leisure…take care…
Satyam 92, just got through reading, and as always, finding very interesting what you have to say, but felt the need to reply, especially since I enjoyed the movie ‘Aladin’ very much, and, hey, it wasn’t just because it was my first chance to see Mr. Bachchan on the big screen.
Well, I have eclectic tastes for many forms of art, I have to admit, so maybe that’s why I am somewhat puzzled with your remarks “If one cannot sense the distinction to be made between Paa and Aladdin why is one even excited with the former? I have this quarrel with many fans also. I don’t doubt their sincerity but why does such come at the cost of thought?”
I cannot make remarks on the quality of “Paa,” since I have not seen the movie yet, only a minute or so of brief trailers. Yes, it looks intriguing, and even from those brief trailers I can see of course that it is a movie of a different genre than Aladin. I can sense that it is also a movie with a different tone, a different mind set, if you will. Other than that I will reserve all judgment until I have seen the movie itself.
I HAVE seen Aladin, and I sincerely loved it, but I don’t think a reader or movie viewer’s suspending disbelief when partaking of fantasy, fairy tales, myths, legends, in story, novel or film means that thought has flown out the window. Just because I loved reading “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell” didn’t mean I had thrown over my love for Tolstoy, for instance. Absolutely loving any given work of art for its own sake and during the time that you are there, living in the world which that work of art creates, to me is a creative act of perceiving. During that time one is allowed to disengage from historical baggage, from what the artist has created before in other imaginary milieus. I have loved watching “Twelfth Night” and don’t see that this in any way negates the fact that I also loved watching “Hamlet.” So why should enjoying “Aladin” or “Bhoothnath” negate the fact that I also loved “Deewar” or “Muqadder Ka Sikander”?
In response to your statements — “Would one praise Deewar and Besharam the same way? Would one have equal regard for Khuddaar and Trishul?…. To be true to the authentic one has to reject the inauthentic.…If one is going to praise and get excited about Aladdin and Paa in the very same ways using the very same language hasn’t one deconstructed the authentic film completely?” — I have to first say that I have not seen the movies Besharam, Khuddaar, and Trishul, so I am inferring (and correct me if I am mistaken) that you consider Deewar to be a better movie than Besharam, and that you are making a similar judgment call for the following pair of movies, although I can’t tell from the context which you consider the better.
But to go back to what I have seen: why should “Aladin” be considered inauthentic? It is what it is, and I think it does a very good job of being what it is. So why drag in a comparison to the as yet hypothetical because as yet unseen “Paa,” or to past glories like “Deewar” to the detriment of “Aladin”? Even if you’re just looking at them from the point of Amitabh Bachchan performances, I think it’s comparing apples to oranges.
That people may use the same language to praise the one movie and then the other has more to do with the current conventions/limits of critical language , or to the limits of any given viewer’s critical language skills than it does with the essence of any of these movies. Just because the language may be similar doesn’t mean that the excitement is similar…I mean, objectively, excitement is excitement, but it can subjectively feel a thousand ways, can spring from a myriad of different feelings and thoughts that at source are not the same. So I don’t see this excitement as necessarily deconstructive.
PS: By the way, I can’t help thinking that had “Aladin” been made in English, it would have gotten a much better reception in American than it did in India. There is a strong market for good fantasy, in books and films, in this country.
I give it kudos for daring to pioneer, like Drona, in India. That, however, is totally apart from the intrinsic values in either film (Howver, I found many things to like in Drona, although there the narrative rhythm did drag; I think it suffered from not adequate editing as much as anything)
Thanks again for an interesting entry, Satyam; as always, you make me think (as limited as that ability may be), and I love that!
With fondest regards, Phyllis
Love as always…….
gr8 to see the poster changed to have PAA feel everywhere….
YOU ROCK SIRJE………..Gud9t n swt drms….
post your blog in leisure…take care

Hi Auro,
Love the blog picture.
Cannot wait to see you for the premiere, please email details of how I can personally meet you and touch your feet for blessings from my big brother, it will end an almost 30 year quest to shake hands with you.
The closest I ahve got to seeing you was at Radio Asia/ Spectrum Radio near Brent Cross in 1992. I have photos but not sure how I can put those on, unless you can accept an email attachment.
Regards
Naresh
Renate, Vipin Sharma,Pettssy, ms.satinder, shakti,
Thank you for your kind words.
Dear Daisy M.
Thank you for the pep talk and I’m glad you found another job.
You have more confidence in me than I have! After 25 years in a specialized field and with no other experience, I’m not hopeful. I have no skills or talents.
I don’t take it personally because the woman who talked to me said she will be busy all day with these layoffs. And I know I have been there too long making too much money when people out of college who were raised on computers can do the same thing I was doing. The shock was that I had a glowing review a couple of weeks ago where my supervisor told me he was putting my name up for a promotion!!
I was thinking about those Paris tickets and wondering about affording the trip now.
The company is offering a free 2 day job seminar so let’s see what happens. Right now I’m remembering a ‘help wanted’ sign at the 24 hour Laundry King 2 blocks away.
Love,
Rochelle
For AB,
Signing off for the day with todays episode of BB3 - The Nomination Show-down!
I got my guesses right again for the third week in a row! Tanaaz and Bak-Bak repeated by the inmates with a bit of clever deviation by Raju - making sure this time that the count is staggered! Now the bawa is likely to ask bak-Bakhtiyar to start marching.
The game is still simple with a few obvious drop-outs still to be cleared out. One of the two, probably Tanaaz, stays back next week and gets voted out in the week after that, followed by Pravesh, Shamita and Rohit.
I misjudged Vinod Kambli - the marathi manoos!
My ‘pecking order’ is now:
1. Bak-Bakhtiyar
2. Tanaaz
3. Pravesh
4. Shamita
5. Rohit
6. Aditi
7. Vinod Kambli
8. Vindoo
9. Poonam
10. Raju
Wild Card Entry: None
Love
Sudhir
Dear Amit Uncle
Read your post. 21 interviews…your head must be reeling and you still managed to pen some beautiful thoughts and lines for FmXt. We are really indebted to you.
It amazing to see your energy, dedication and passion. What keeps you going sir?
Love as ever
Regards
YHFPG
Dear Rochelle,
Really sorry to hear that awful news. These are trying times for many. And what terrible timing to add to it! Approaching 50th birthday and after 25 years of loyal service. NOT FAIR. Wishing you loads of strength to go through the period ahead. And even if no sane reason can justify why you had to lose this job, someday you will look back and smile and understand why it happened. Life’s paths are mysterious, but there is a reason why things happen. Chin up girl and all will be well soon. Don’t lose hope.
On a lighter note: Maybe our beloved Mr. Bachchan has a fitting job for his most dedicated fan/blogger/admirer? Are you willing to relocate?
;) 
;) 
;)
Best regards-Lily D’Penha-Frankfurt-Germany.
My dearest Amithji,
For many FmXt it’s yellow day today.
Whenever you travel abroad, we can always hope for a reply.
I am eagerly waiting for your new post.
Thanks for the lovely photos of PAA. They are simply awesome.
There is not an iota of ‘you’ in those pictures! & that is thanks to the fantastic makeup. I am waiting to see hoe Auro walks. Just to see whether there is ‘you’ in that walk.
My husband, who is not very fond of hindi movies, surprisingly , cannot wait to watch PAA!!!
I am sooooo disappointed with the nominations at BB house.
That jerk, rohit, escaped this time too! The house mates are blind or what!!??? Shamita was the most sensible girl when it came to nominations. Vindu & rohit are discussing nominations sooo much , BB should punish them by nominating them himself. I really feel sad for bhaktiyaar & tanaaz.
bye for now,
take care,
love you always,
kalpana kakade
WOW!!! YOU REPLIED TO ME!!! YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!!! YOU’RE AWESOME!!!

We had a motivational traini session with a 25 min presentation slide about the man behind the silver screen and it’s world wide popularity.. Amitabh Bachchan.. Was thrilled.. You are simply great.. Well let me read your blog now and shall get back later….
Deepak: check him out speaking Punjabi among other languages here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uX50oIdqdI
and see here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHUeawGsrsc
finally and though I couldn’t find it on youtube check out the scene in Silsila where Bachchan after dancing with Rekha at the wedding approaches his Sikh friend and then his wife requesting her for the friend’s number. It’s total Punjabi here.

Hello Auro!!! I cannot wait to welcome you in my life! Kudos to ur team Sir. Regards, Sargam, United News Of India
Hello Mr Big B ,
I watched Alladin yesterday . The Movie is no way up to the mark .
This is neither a kid’s movie nor an Audult . A simple story could have made a lot of impact . But didnt get why the Genie has to be loud.
Wonder why you are choosing a movie like that. I watched “Wake up Sid ” and also watched “Ajab prem ki ..” . Felt like i got my money back .
I am still waiting to see something like “Bhagwan , Khaki ,Aks ” .
My Best wishes
-Krisna
Dear Amitabh Bachchan,
And dear Auro, hi to you too ! : )
The new face picture is so cheerful and touching .. And Auro is so lovable …
And him expressing joy - is so penetrating …
When I open my browser now it feels like we have a kid at home…
Can’t wait to see the film. I found out for sure - it will not be screened in my city,
but in many and many cities across America it will be !!
*
I am about to go for my day and I won’t see your next Day till much later …
May God bless you and yours.
My love and prayers.

Dear Rochelle,
I am sorry to learn about your job.. I know how it feels on my own skin, when the business I worked for was sold and all employees were let go … After that I worked in dry cleaners for a while : )
But I am sure it is not going to happen to you, as a professional with long experience in your field hopefully you can find another position soon.
Happy Birthday in advance and all the best to you ! With love.
paa is crucial fr ABCL. M sure it will take ur company to unscaled heights sir!
Have a good night and dreamed pleasant,
Always be happy,
Love you to no end

My dearest Mr. Bachchan,
I hope you are very well and all pains from yesterday have subsided.

Keep warm and well.
All my love,

Love you too Auro, big hugs!xx
Dear Amitabhji,
It just can’t be a coincidence - when I logged on to the Blog they aired “Yeh dosti hum nahi ….(Sholay) the timeless national anthem from movies….with your eternal presence- while listening I could visualize /feel your enegy…..
Thanks for always being there.
Trust me just your thought infuses so much of energy into my otherwise very much bland me…!!!
have a great stay at London.
Wish you all the success and luck !!!!!!
Take care.
With lots of love and gratitude,
Priyatam
Dear Amith Ji
All the very best for the gud work that you have been for at london.your new film flick PAA is jus too very appealing just waiting for the movie to hit the nearest theater.
All the best Amit!
Please GOD hear our prayers
Let Paa be a milestone in Amitji’s acting career and in box office collections too.
Warm Regards,
Nalini
Sorry if I will sound little rude, but … What for such beautiful and carismatic actor as You needs this odd looking and sentimental deformed being???
It seems interesting but…Leave me in kind of bad taste.Taste of Hollywood.Taste of property fake… For me…I will see the movie from curious. Aladin was one of your masterpiece, I love it very much!!!
A warm welcome to London despite it’s rather dull, grey, damp and cold atmosphere. I hope you have had a chance to rest and adjust. We were out at family functions yesterday so if you came on any of the local Asian radio stations in London then I am sorry that we missed you. Please try and have a premier for PAA in London. We will all come to support you, Abhishek and the rest of the cast and team behind PAA. Good Luck with the get together for the Head Injuries charity and all the promotional activities for PAA. It feels odd that we are not able to meet and greet you when you are in our country and it is this space that allows us to be in touch with you. Thank you for making time for your EF after a long journey and busy schedule. Most others would not have the same energy and commitment level that you have.
Best Wishes to You Sir.

Dear Rochelle
Sorr to hear about your job. With your skills I am sure bigger better things are in store for you. My job with an American Telecoms company was made redundant in 2008 and and my experience tells me that what keeps you going is the strength of your convictions and remaining to be who you are. It was tough times and I have only just found another job after being redundant for nearly a year and a half. Best Wishes to you. Stay positive!!
Rajesh

Guys wanted to share in my session we had discussed about some great personalites.. Yes sir was discussed.. I show the promo of PAA and have also taken mind share of 108 participants who are fully convinced that this’ll be a movie of it’s kind.. Have managed to do a little promo within my capacity.. We’ll all watcc the movie on the 1st saturday or sunday after the release and do a little con call on Monday to re connect and strengthen our bond.. The idea was great.. Got to want PAA.. Waiting eagerly.. Sir complements are getting embarrased when i think i’ll use them to praise my God.. Now what? How do i do it?

your EF..

The chemistry between the German beauty Claudia and the Indian hunk Pravesh is flowering in BIGG BOSS show. The couple had a great time in jail. They covered the door of the jail with a sheet during night to keep away the prying eyes of other inmates of the house,particularly Raju who was getting restive.
Raju, there is one suggestion for getting closer to Claudia.Just ask her whether she would like to converse with you in English in front of camera. You will definitely enjoy Claudia’s company in jail.
Rochelle, I think you missed #501: my offer for a hug and a cup of coffee. (Hope you are not deliberately not replying to me!). We can meet in the city and see Aladin again. Maybe over the week-end?
This too shall pass, keep your spirits up. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Jasmine
… Couple of spelling mistakes again. Am off to sleep for night.. Catch up with you all and Sir in the morning.. Love always and Regards Mondira
Dearest Amitji,
Glad to know that you are in London for a charity and also for the PAA promotion….. You are simply a wonderful human being and wish that such people should be always born and live for many years to come….
Definately Paa will rock the world and create history ! Please take care of your health. May Gold bless you for good health & longevity of life. bye for now…
Luv U Always,

Dear Mr.Bachchan,
I am on the blog after a week and have gone through all that I missed.All those video clips and the pics on the top,Oh my God !I don’t know what to say,tears prevent me from reading what i am writing.I don’t know whether you will understand what I am saying, but I see a kind of divine intervention in this role of yours.I got the same feeling or response that I feel when I visit a place of worship that I feel very very strongly for .Eashwar aapse kuch karya karva rahen hain,Sir,are you aware ?
I have always thought you are overworking ,but today when I read about the hours you have put in for the makeup etc,I feel differently.I feel that you are priveleged to be going through this.Your makeupman or team whoever is involved,needs a standing ovation.Do ensure they get it when you win the award.I really wish you read this ,if you do, please do tell them there is somebody who prayed for these makeup man/men and who is very very proud of them.
I thought there wasn’t going to be anything better than ‘Black” but you have like Tendulkar broken your own record…and all this comes on seeing only 10 seconds of seeing ‘Auro’.I wonder whether I can watch the whole movie, I feel it might be too emotionally overwhelming.
May God grant you along life and may you remain amongst ‘His Chosen Ones”
God Bless you Mr.Bachchan.
regards,
Ragini

Dear Rochelle,
I was logging in to see if there was a new post but came across your message. I am really really sorry to hear about the loss especially after 25years of service. You wrote ” I have no skills or talents’ - you have more skills and talent than you know girl so I know that everything will work out and that you will get another good job soon. Thinking of you Rochelle - hang in there and take care!
SIR,
YOU MUST HAVE A DREAM TODAY OF HOLDING NATIONAL AWARD…..AWARDS…. FOR PAA,IT WILL COME TRUE.CINEMA INDUSTRY WILL GIVE YOU VERY VERY SPECIAL AWARD FOR PAA.ALL THE BEST DEFINITE, TAKE CARE…..
WITH WARM REGARDS,NILESH
Jasmine J,
At times I notice a sweet cute little Angel in you. I do not think Amit ji can stay angry with an Angel any longer if in, case he is for any reason.
Offering toffees, mithai to dear ‘Auro’ sounds like a jolly good idea. Our dear ‘Auro’ needs to be treated with compassion, love and respect, almost the same way, you are appraising him.
And taking Rochelle out for coffee too seems to be a very nice try to make Rochelle at ease. Rochelle needs to be comforted with a friendly and encouraging gesture, I guess.
Regards

#551 Mondira ,
ha ha ha because Pittsry in comment #544 , was me?
I joked the other day in my comment saying that I get all possible and conceivable spelling of Pettssy: Pettsy (very common as spelling on the blog), Petssy, Pestty, Petsty … I thought that only Petsy is missing in my collection hi hi hi.
And there is another possibility now ! :D.
No my darling, I just tease u, of course… Write it as you like, just make me know it was me, ha ha ha, especially this time, I couldn’t guess.
Rochelle - Just realised I think I can connect with you via Facebook, so will try to send you a few more thoughts there…

Dear Rochelle,I am sorry to hear about the loss of your job.I pray something better will come your way…God Bless!
Love …Saroj
dil kush karditta ei!! Balle Balle for Punjabi!
Would love to hear you speak Punjabi for this channel….last time I remember hearing you speak punjabi was for the movie Silsila….your punjabi dialouges still reverbrate in my ears…. so immaculately fluently spoken punjabi !!
For AB and friends in FmXt,
I was not sure I should to say this here. I was actually planning to leave it with the sms to you. I was brooding over it for the past 3 days, simply considering whether it was necessary.
I will be away from the internet - the blog and mails - till 3rd January 2010. I will be working on my farm in the Nilgiris.
By the time I am back, BiggBoss 3 would have been over - I expect Vindoo or Poonam will take the crown on the strength of their vote banks.
Paa would have been released and judged. But I guess I won’t miss much. There will still be enough ugliness left in the world to dwell upon. Besides, Rann will be ready for its run.
The New Year will hopefully usher in a new season of joy and happiness.
Till then,
All My Love,
Sudhir

Face picture change!! Hello Auro!
Jasmine Jawant,
Sorry, I did miss it. I don’t drink coffee but a glass of juice will be fine. I think ‘Aladin’ is out of the theaters now.
Thanks Priti and manat.
Oh sorry, I missed you Sudhir
Thanks.
Looking great!
Can’t wait to see the movie.
Love the new pic!!
Dear Abhaya #300,
Thank you for your wishes to the German reunification. I left Germany before it happened and even today, it still seems a miracle to me. I can only hope that every country split and their people will eventually be able to experience unity again.
We shall always be grateful to the people in Hungary who had a great part in it.
I hope you will begin your German studies soon, just as I may start to learn Hindi sometimes. Right now I am busy with my first introductions into yoga, which is an entirely new world to me. One more benefit of being introduced to India and its wonderful people here.
Love,
Renate
Sandip #428: Thank you for your concern, I am touched. I am not at all worried — aaa sab mere sath hain na. I have found so much love and support from a lot of my fellow members, on and off the blog. Plus, Amitji cares for ALL of us. Big adda is looking into the issue, at mine and another member’s complaint. Deceit, cunning, and untruthfulness seems to win for a while, but I believe in “Satyamev Jayate”. Your psychological analysis seems accurate. Thanks again, I do appreciate your thoughts and concern for me.
Vipin Sharma, thanks for your kind words. You are good yourself, that is why you are able to see goodness in others, even in me! I’m trying very hard to bribe Auro! He’s so lovable!
Love and best wishes,
Jasmine Jaywant
Sir, I liked the pic that you have put up on the page. I love Auro too. I know you are left handed but you wrote here with your right hand to get that kiddy writing. It seems to me…Just took a wild guess.
Warm Regards,
Paali
Sir, I don’t like this ugly boy ( I know it’s u ) poster on your blog.
Please remove it and put from your younger age picture.
sorry to hear about your job loss rochelle. I know these days New Yorkers in particular and Americans in general are scared about loosing their jobs due to the economic crisis. I live that thought everyday….!!
hope you find something soon! keep the faith!
Dear …..AURO,
This is me and I love you too !
e.t.
PAA wil be the biggest hit.
I wonder how do you work so much at this age.
We youngsters should SALUTE you sir.
Love you Sir
Amitji…
Good to know you are here again…hope you have recuperated from the journey and now feeling refreshed…
Simply loved the promo pics of Paa. Amazing transformation…you really look so NOT you??? lol…
Yeah, I know missing from home!! (ie. blog) hehehehe…But been so so so busy…forgive…but am sure you not missing me that much!! …
…
Abhaya bhai - have read your FB message bout leaving the blog. Pls do not leave. It is such a pleasure for a lot to see your comments here. And apart from Amitji’ post your comment along with a few others have always bees so enjoyable to read. Bhai…pls stay…love lots…
And Amitji (or is it Mr Bachchan?? - nah pass that a llloooonnngggg time ago!! :D)
Goes w/out saying love, respect, admiration and more love to you…

Dear Amitji,
You spoke such nice and fluent Punjabi in Veer Zaara, it was fun
Take Care

Aaawwww. Just realised my Thankyou comment did not find it’s way to the blog. Here it is again:
My beloved Mr. Bachchan,
Thanks a million for that lovely longed-for yellow streak of sunshine. Amazing what immense joy those few words from you bring to me.
When I wished you sunshine yesterday, little did I know that it was right at my doorstep instead.
:) 
:) 
A Genius you are indeed for turning my grey skies to blue with your yellow streak.
A very grateful Lily D’Penha-Frankfurt-Germany
Dear Rochelle,
I’m very sorry for your bad news. I know does not mean anything to you
right now what I will say, but later may be you do.
My job was terminated last year because we don’t have any project.
I was working on residential and commercial projects. That termination
happened to be few days befor Christmas, my aniversary, less than a month
of my birthday, may be I had more to celebrate…oh yes, my husband was back
at home after 2 months in hospital(between life and death) and my mother
health start to go down very quick !!!!!
I did not write on blog because nobody knows me to care.
I was rehired in september and I’m the first person from my department
to be back to work. I know you are atheist, I’m not but I’m not a fanatic religious. But everything happened for a reason and the bad is follow with
the good ! Dear Rochelle, I hope the good things happens to you quicker than
was for me ! Do not let you go down, try to be positive and do things which you can’t before because you need to be at work. If you need my help , please
do not hesitate to ask me, anytime !

P.S. The good thing now, you can be #1 on Mr. Bachchan blog , because
you don’t have that supervisor !!!!
oh you are unrecognizable in paa
Hi Rochelle,
Very Sad to hear about job…I belive you have better opportunity waiting for you elsewhere..Be Brave and Strong..you will be back doing your job for sure.
With Greetings and Prayers,
Rajesh
Dear Rochelle,
I went through this situation 6 months ago and back to normal… I can understand your situation.. Just hold urself and definately something good is written to you. I will pray for good things to come in near future.. We never know what is written in our fate but whatever happens, will happen for the god. Trust in God and he will take care of you… My best wishes to you always….

Sir, wish you the very best with your new movie. Have a lot to learn from you and your experiences, but most importantly your zest for what you do. Hats off to you for reviving AB Corp (considering what you went through) and coming out with what seems to be a winner of a product - I happened to catch a few seconds of the PAA preview last week. Our best wishes are always with you (and anyone who is dedicated to making their honest living).
-Vikas.
P.S.: I watched Aladin with my 4 year old this past weekend, and he liked the dances and magic performed by “Amita” Bachchan. How we wish we can meet you personally someday – even if it is for a few minutes

Dear Jasmine,
Hi
Is someone writing nasty comment under your name? See 578.
Take care.
Dear Rochelle…
Just read that you were let go today…I am so very sorry to hear that…Please
don’t despair…you say you have ‘no skills or talent’…I beg to differ, my Dear…
Enthusiasm is not a thing that can be learned! You either have it or you don’t!
Then there is your ablility to make honest observations on things - you always notice things in Mr. Bachchan’s posts that I miss and after reading your comments, I go back to find out what you are talking about and sure enough, you read something that I totally missed! Then there is your diligence - you are ALWAYS on a train or a subway going to review another movie or band or art show… Seriously, you are a hard worker and surely someone in your field will find a place that is just perfect for you…Please don’t despair…you have friends who care about you…I am only one of many here…you aren’t alone in this. In fact, why don’t you take a long weekend or so and come down here to Florida for a visit? Wait until Hurricane Ida blows thru tonight and tomorrow…then come and stay with me and my four dogs…How about it?
My home is 900 feet from the most beautiful beach you ever saw…well, it was there the last time I looked…should still be there tomorrow…sincerely, inviting you to come down here…

Good night dearest Mr Bachchan,
Sleep overcomes me now, but I do hope your event tonight was hugely successful in all the best possible ways.
With all my love, Daisy

Don’t give up ! You will get a better one!
Amitji,
Great to see the New pic on the blog, signed off by AURO..nothing can stop this movie from being a hit, hope it premiere in US< UK< Mumbai..really would be worth it..
Hope you keeping warm this weather has taken a turn for the worst, finally started my new job today and managed my first trip by bus to work on my own, which I havent been able to do because of my anxiety and claustraphobia…am trying to overcome all and get better and give my wife and kids all they have been deprived of due to my health probs over the last four and half years…
All the best always

Dear E.T.
I am saddened to read that you never mentioned anything about all the problems that you were going through simply because you thought “we wouldn’t care because we don’t know you”! Well it is simply not true. I am sure most of our extended family members will agree that we do care about each other. It is a totally different matter if you wish to keep your personal life under wraps but always remember that we are all here for you. I don’t know how we would have helped but atleast you should know that you are not alone and we all care.
take care
I hope you get a good night’s sleep.
loveyou
Dear Mr. Bachchan
Yes now I can see Auro full of joy and energy…..hope the joy seeps into all of us.

I think the moderator needs help here ..
I’m posting at # 599 yet at the top it says 638 comments.
Both Rochelle and I are happy to serve. Available immediately !!

I was just appreciating your opening paragraph again. I am astonished that even after a long haul flight and at that hour in the morning you manage to capture touchdown to London so beautifully. It reads like an opening sentence to a novel.
Disappointingly my mission has failed and I haven’t been able to locate a single piece of the PAA promotional work you did here yesterday. News about you is plentiful when you are in India; it’s incongruous that I cannot find any in my own city! Perhaps the media are waiting until nearer the time of release. Still, I will continue to look out and hope they are as enthusiastic about the film as the Indian media have been - my guess is they will be more so.
Hope the charity event was a huge success. They usually hold auctions for various weird and wonderfully costly items at these charity evenings, I wonder if you will be able to resist extravagance in the name of charity. Nobody would begrudge you buying a memento since you have flown all this way!!
Wishing you a very goodnight for now sleep well and hope the morrow is not an early take off for you so you can rest… Or just stay in your alternate home and brighten it up for us, while you recover from your jet lag!! I simply can’t imagine how your system will cope with the work, flights and climate variation. Please take care Mr. Bachchan, I think you have an idea how precious you are to all.
All my love as ever,
Jasmine

Hi, thank you for speaking to us and looking forward to the great movie.
Don’t you feel Balki should atleast acknowledge “Curious case of Benjamin Button” - since the idea was from that movie?
Amithji Parnam,
Aaj I felt I had enough energy to sit up and drop a few lines to you…
Even though you never have the time to meet due to your hectic schedules, the confirmation of stating London on your Post is a delight in itself to read…
Hope you are taking sufficient rest and looking after those pains esp if your days are jam packed….
Good luck with your ventures…charities, interviews etc etc… Oh by the way I just love it when you speak Punjabi…kinda funny yet charming tooooooo…Lol… you just sound so cute…. Like a child attempting a new language…. Ahhhhha….
Thanks for a new blog picture, so appropriate and helps in with the countdown….fingers cross for another super hit…. watching your classic Agneepath in background….
Aachaji, aab hum chalte hain…

Hello AB,
What is actually PAA about…still cant figure it out…
mr bachchan i saw lots of golden replies to your family of bloggers -i know you cant acknowledge all of us but what decides it for you the content or is it random or the names intrigue you -i live in vacouver bc -ive seen all your movies! you are awesome ! you are acting but its seems so real that we think you are that character and fall in love with you -the character - everyday life is not a fantasy unfortunately -but the movies give us a break from the tediousness of life -we need hope -imagination- creativity-hope-love -and something to look forward to ! but you are not auro ! its a part played very well by you anyways much luck and success in all your movies keep making more you always do such a magnificent and superb job .you love acting . keep on acting as long as you feel it in your soul . i also think you would be a very excellent prime minister of india as you are a wise man lke your paa !!!
shahnshah,
good morning
By the way , I’m sure you have felt the difference in weather temperature from Mumbai, just wanted to say please wrap up warm, I know that although you will be in n out of cars escorting you everywhere, but you must keep warm and wrap up well even then, it’s this hot and cold breeze we get that is lethal…
Flu in UK is on the up and Swine flu too is back here… So please be cautious and protect yourself from this bitter air…
Just do not want your journey ruined with such cold weather… only a precaution to prevent you running into Boots….
Do take care my dearest
My lov as always

Wishing you a peaceful night sleep, Amitji,
Goodnight & God bless.

Rochelle, this may sound clichéd but something better is bound to happen. I have been reading your comments and marvel at how you balance your time and never fail to write or comment or two almost always on the train or changing trains (New York?).
As deeply horrifying as it may seem to you today, there will be newer and better opportunities, please do believe that. Best of luck..
OK. I have to admit I’m curious about PAA. I saw the trailer and really want to see the movie to determine how different it is from Benjamin Button. It must have been hard work to exhibit the demenor of a little kid.
Also, I finally got a hold of the Macau film awards. It must have been a demanding experience. I skipped through most of the ceremony but watched Abhishek and Aishwariya’s performance and your and Jaya’s comments at the entrance. Cirque d solei seemed to engross everybody. I wonder which show it was.
Thanks for writing on PAA’s poster.
Respected Sir,
Thank you so much for your reply Thanks again.
Love and Regards

Life is a song – sing it.
Life is an opportunity – take it.
Life is a journey – complete it.
Life is a promise – fulfill it.
Life is a love – embrace it.
Life is a beauty – praise it.
Life is a spirit – release it.

Hello Sir have a great time
Dear A for Amitabh ji
pranam….
when a good man wishes for other ones, it is categorized in urgent works to do in god’s diary. It’s too nice of you and your work …
Have a good day..
Just got to read the last half of these comments, so this is probably so late you will never see it, Rochelle, but I am truly sorry for your layoff. I have read the many wonderful wishes for you from the rest of the fmxt, and can only add mine to them. I hope for the best outcome for you in the immediate and long term future.
With affectionate regards,
Phyllis
sir please write on ” how to save and help cow”
thanks

Oh! I’m so sorry Rochelle. It was very harsh since it came out of the blue. I can understand your feelings. Being laid off from a job can be traumatic, especially when you have worked in a job for a long time. But please don’t loose heart. Keep your chin up and spirits high. I know that it is easier said than done, but try to remain positive, as it is very important not to let any negative thoughts creep in. Look at this as an opportunity to reinvent yourself. You have a vast reserve of experience you can draw strength from. You will soon find out that there are people who value experience and put a premium to stability.
Best of luck and many good wishes,
Melwyn
Hello!
Thank you so so much for taking alittle time out to write to me! im so touched! I use to think stars never take time to personally write anything to their fans. Iam amazed ! “”THANK YOU”"
I hope this will be a start of a friendship..and that i will continue to be sent the odd message.
Alot has happened to me MR B but i won’t bore you with it all ha ha my point being..i never have felt content since iam no longer in touch with my family(arranged marriage that broke all ties from a young age) so im sort of carrying on with life without them,have a 10year old daughter (IRAM) who is everything to me and only family and love her more than anything!
When i was with family we all use to watch your films..i remember COOLIE and many more..I think of you i get reminded of my childhood ..wish things turned out different..Hey sorry im babbling on! ha ha Just thought i would tell you alittle about myself! But thats enough i think!
Hope you are fine and doing well. Looking forward to seeing “PAA” would not have thought that was you! Def different!
Also hope see a message..
Take care..

I dont know why Vindu Dhoor jub dekho ladkiyo ke gale lagna chahta hai…he didnt like pravesh. and now he started to polute
the minds of other people against him. he was also trying to manupulate claudia and wanted her to be also against him. is he
a god father that every time he boases that what india will think if he and raju go out…i think he might be sadly mistaken that
he is a big celebrity. Every one started to know now just because of big boss and also that he is the son of dara singh. he is
really a useless crap who talks to himself like a mad.
Poonamji is really a boaring character. nothing much entertainment from her side. she is really a weak link.
Shamita is a dum character. she too some times is boaring.
That Rohit asshole should be taught a lesson. the way rohit is playing and manupulating with the people over there,seems
that all the players are nothing but fools who can judge between the right and wrong person.
I am scared if you finds your extream contentment performing as AURO! Then we will not be able to expect any further from our beloved AB !
good luck for paa sir
great work sir your makeup artist is so good at doing this work and a very nice concept the theme music and the theme of this movie is great good work
with all love to Auro
my dad look like you
you are excellent in aladin
congratulations for magical performance in aladin
eager to see the great father and the rising son togather in truely acted movie paa
