Prateeksha, Mumbai January 19, 2010 Tue 11: 59 PM
To New Delhi and back. Non stop movement, non stop attention, non stop interviews .. and back. From 31 degrees Centigrade to 8 degrees, from cotton shirts to woolen blazers and scarfs, from sweat off the brow to a sniffle in the nose … back !
And the greatest joy … a quick visit to hug the grandchildren Navya and Agastya, busy in preparing for their tests the next morning and getting close to converting themselves into black belt Ninja’s that become invisible after reaching a certain degree of proficiency on the Mac game console !!
From 6 in the morning you get the cameras on you as you prepare to leave for Delhi. At the house, at the airport, into the terminal, out of the terminal in Delhi, driving to studio of appointed channel and straight into a Q&A.
Its Star News at NOIDA, which is in UP but connects close to Delhi so within minutes one can drive into another state. It is a revelation ! Taken around from corner to corner of each operation, the assimilation of news, the disbursement of it to select group of seniors, its formation and language, its graphics, its edit and compilation, right to its final rendering by the anchor, it is a nerve shattering massive operation - one that is in motion 24/7 for every second !
Incredible !! Absolutely incredible !! And all run by a group of youngsters, diligent and devoted to the very end. The speed of thought and construct, before matter gets stale or before competition picks it up, is fierce. However do they manage it, is an improbability, which to me seems to have no solutions.
The topic for the day has a massive panel of pictures that adorns an entire wall of the office. It is dedicated to me today and the range and variety of all my pictures put together is such a revelation. A few different interviews later, a few autographs and countless photographs later a quick drive to another developed region to the Religare Office, partners in the funding of the film and an elegant but quick lunch with their CEO and then down there in the media room - Barkha Dutt, that very committed and intense TV journalist, panelist, organizer of debates on many a valid issues, columnist and gracious anchor.
The topic is of course TV and journalism and RANN. The supposed bashing, the purported effort of revenge, the mistrust and its own reflections, on linked politics and delinked associations. On impressions of how this medium could improve, on how we as public figures could improve, what we lacked and what they lacked, on how this most powerful medium could be used and misused in society in politics in life. . .
When you have a sensible and interesting and knowledged interviewer, there is a sense of achievement when the interview is over. For, quite unobtrusively, you have managed to match the other’s superior intellect, or at least tried to. It has always been a joy to talk to Barkha Dutt.
That over, rush rush rush all the way back into Delhi to the Taj ManSingh for the press conference without as much as a break even for a wash room visit. There is applause after the traditional promo is shown and there is immediate consternation and resentment towards Ram Gopal Varma for the anecdotal short piece of footage he has shot asking various people in the public what they thought of the television in the country. It was harsh. Nothing was complimentary about the electronic in it and the resentment from the fourth estate was I felt, not unjustified. You do not call the media to help promote your film and then the first thing you show them is how adversely they are looked upon by the public.
“Why call us to tell us how bad we are, in a conference where you are asking us to promote your film ?” is their very legitimate refrain.
Other issues about the film and its motive and ingredients then take over, but I did feel the additional showreel incident left a bad taste in the mouths of many. I spoke to Ramu about this later, after it was all over, and told him it was not such a good idea to show that extra footage, totally unconnected with RANN, a film, that eventually is a fictionalized story which puts media in a very positive light. He understood the point immediately and assured me that it would not be shown again. Wiser counsel prevailed !
Encourage debate and discussion. Encourage impartial self regulation. Encourage ideas that would in the long run work beneficially to both the estate and the community. Strike a balance not the gong. Always a pleasure to talk to Barkha. I hope it is mutual.
Politics then takes over. The ‘handlers’ jump in to try and rescue the interview by keeping it from being anything other than film centric. I disagree and encourage for more talk. My argument against this is as follows. If you are going to agree for an interview or a press conference, then it is not justifiable that you dictate the terms of the conversation too. That prerogative should always be permitted to lie with the media.
So the questions come, on my recent visit and meeting with Mr Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat and my association with this allegedly controversial politician. My offer to promote the state of Gujarat through publicity commercials that could garner more tourism for it, is welcomed and the administration shall come over to work out what and how the modalities could be executed. The grilling questions on this matter continue though.
“You are perceived as a secular example of this country, Mr Bachchan, how can you associate yourself with someone like Mr Modi, a stern rightist !? ” they ask.
I am surprised by this analysis and wonder what kind of people there are that would think of my visit in such adverse manner. I have come to the Chief Minister of Gujarat to seek tax exemption for my film, permissions for which are sanctioned by him and his office. I am going to meet the democratically elected member of a constituent assembly of the country as stipulated by the Constitution, because he is the power that shall grant those facilities. Mr Modi does not own Gujarat. Gujarat belongs to the country. Mr Modi is the elected member by the people, to run the State. Where else and how else do I seek exemption and from who ? Meeting Mr Modi does not make me, a confirmed apolitical person, a rightist. Neither does it make me an endorser of his alleged accusations. Let the courts and the system conclude or pass judgement on it. And, if I see wide 6 lane roads and development and greenery, what is the harm in acknowledging it.
By similar argument, my visit to Kolkata, a few days back, and to the hospital there, to see Mr Jyoti Basu, may his soul rest in peace, would make me a communist would it not ! Or one that I am about to make to Delhi’s Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on similar ground of tax exemption, make me a Congressite because she rules from the Congress party. Or the one that I am about to undertake to Karnataka to visit Mr Yedurappa, the Chief Minister, for tax exemption make me a follower of his party !! Ha ! Come on … guys … think of something more original !
If Mr Modi asks me to promote Tourism in his State, I would happily do it, because it promotes the State and thereby the country. I do not see any wrong in that.
Barkha Dutt expressed similar surprise when she quoted what Mr Amar Singh has expressed in an interview with her on similar subject. He had told her, even if Ms Mayawati, the present Chief Minister of UP asked Mr Bachchan to promote Tourism in UP the state, he would do it.
She reiterates her surprise in my interview - “But Mr Bachchan, this is Mayawati, the one who dragged you to court and registered cases against you, on land matters and school matters and other Company matters !!”
And my reply is the same. If she were to ask me to promote Uttar Pradesh I would happily do it. As much as I would do for any State that would ask me.
Ms Vasundhara Raje Scindia as Chief Minister of Rajasthan asked me to do the son e lumiere for the Amer Fort in Jaipur and I did it. Amarinder Singh of Punjab asked me to do one for the Sikh Museum that they were building and I readily did that. I am in preparation now to do another one on the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar. Gwalior Fort, Golconda Fort in Andhra Pradesh, Tirupati Fort, Khajuraho have all been done by me. I did these for the love of their significance in the history of our country, not because I wish to align myself with the political party that has been elected to rule that particular State !!
I have remained apolitical ever since I resigned from politics. I do not wish to go back there again. This I have confirmed year after year, interview after interview. I think it completely futile to even attempt to bring such ill conceived notions up for questioning.
The Jew after perishing went up to heaven and knocked on the door of the Lord and said -
“Lord !! is it true that we are the chosen people ??”
“Yes my son !” Came the booming response. ” You are the chosen people !”
” Well, Lord”, he said. ” Do you mind choosing someone else, for a change !!
Many a time have I felt like conveying this to the media.
My love for you … and for you … and … you ..

Dear Amitji,
Whoa…such a hecticly busy day. Glad you managed a hug with Agastya and Navya whilst in Delhi. Such temperature differences - it’s hovering between 7/3 here in UK with more snow forecast tomorrow!!!
You are such a grand ambassador and highly in demand, the best and most favourite in the Country.
Looking forward to watching Rann next week. Lovely long post today. Only thing
missing….responses! I know, i know you are really busy.
Also miss the ability of immediate interaction as was available last year, your response appearing just as i had posted my comment on the blog and being able to quickly sift through comments and archives.
Good night and God Bless
Love and best wishes

Mr N Modi may well be a controversial politician but besides this, how are you planning to promote tourism in Gujarat ?
I also can’t help but make out of this that I’ll help you promote tourism in Gujarat if you grant my film an exemption from tax ?
Am I incorrect in my assumption ??
Love always,

Sir,
What a beautiful way to end the blog today. While said in jest it has tremendous significance and a deep insight into people and yourself.
By becoming an icon for us you are placed in a strange position. For us you are someone that should be emulated - for your principles, for your ethics, for your neutrality, for your values. But at the same time for the media you are an easy target to get more TRPs.
Humans have a tendency to raise some people to Godly status and then start looking for faults to pull them down. This is especially true of Indian, for some strange reason. We, as a people, first give you love and respect and raise you to an iconic status and then start looking for faults to chide you and make you human again.
It was great to read the blog and understand your reasons for supporting Gujarat in their tourism venture. I too am one of those who wondered why you would support Modi but today’s blog clears up so many things. The ability to look at the bigger picture and support the initiatives of the country and not the person is a quality that would helps many of us live a better life.
There is still a lot to learn from you, sir.
With respect,
Kaushal V
Good morning Guruji .
Did you receive my marriage invitation - I had handed over to you on 16 Jan 2010- ITC sonar bangla hotel -Kolkata ?
I will expect you in my reception .
God bless you.
Dearest Mr Bachchan
Heaven almighty allrighty!! You must have sensed the anxiety mounting as the midnight hour approached in London…
A wonderful joke to end with, before that utterly delightful send-off…
And everything else that came before was a tour de force too… I am so glad you have persuaded RGV that his extra media-bashing newsreel was a provocation too far, would antagonize the media for no good purpose, and distract from what Rann was actually trying to portray.
Your remarks on your perpetual mission to remain apolitical are also highly pertinent. But yes, as far as the media are concerned, you will always remain the ‘chosen one’. Like Helen whose face ‘launched a thousand ships’, your name and face will launch millions of viewerships and readerships, like it or not.
My almighty love for you…. just heavenly you.. your ever loving Daisy
Dearest Amitji,
Well Thought Out, Detailed As Ever And Juicily Poetic Sir.
Hi Sirji
I guess i am 2nd.
take care and have rest
Dear Sir, we respect your views regarding promoting a state if told by the ruling C.M.
Mr Modi is a wonderful human being. He attended one of the functions in Haridwar, and he speaks like a roaring lion. He is a very simple man and has improved Gujarat in leaps. I recently visited Gujarat after a long time and saw the difference.
Best Of Luck to both the young ones, for their exams, I am sure Pujya Nanaji’s blessings will give them a lot of assurance.
Seeing the trailers of RANN and will be seeing the film, in theaters soon. Best of luck and it seems to be an interesting film. Pray for it’s success. Any film which you are involved is bound to do well.
Please do take care of yourself. All the flying you do, hope you are drinking plenty of water and doing your leg exercises while traveling in plane journeys. A very important routine. Drink plenty of water. Wriggle your feet in circles, clockwise and anti-clockwise. Walk around, don’t sit in one place for too long. Avoid drinking caffeinated drinks,i.e. tea, coffee, coke, Decaffeinated would be better. Also try and get a pair of DVT socks and a travel pillow is a must too.
I sound hypochondriac, but the amount of traveling you do, either in a car or a plane seems a lot to handle. Just a concern Sir. Hope you don’t mind the nagging advice, but please follow. Pranams to you, your family and all the FmXt.
And Hello to you too Srinivas. Pranams.
Dear Amitji,
The country knows you well enough to understand the motives behind your actions can be anything but politically driven. You are beyond these besmirching acts of frivolous minds and god bless them who even make an attempt. Such has been the nature of democracy. Alas!
Sir, please take care of yourself as staying awake until this late can take a toll. Be kind to yourself as you are to others as we need your guiding self. Here is wishing you health and peace.
Sincerely,
Amit (I guess i was christened after you).
Hello Sir.
It was a thrill watching you in the Star News studio today. It is really warzone
Down there. Guess, they were also awed by you. The photo wall should have been
mentioned in your write up.
Your sharpness is amzing. The way you showed Gul Panang, how your green
tie turned black. You are truely so minute in your observations.
And regarding Mr. Modi, let Barkha and all her clan whine and woo, we the
People of Gujarat believe in this Man of Grit and Wisdom. It would be foolish
trying to convince a bunch of prejudiced journalists. But, thank you Sir, for still
keeping your word on the Tourism promotion.
Keep blazing and keep us on the line of fire.
Love.
Prashant K. Naik. Surat.
dear amitabh -its not easy being the chosen one as you have conveyed in your blog … you can deny things till the cows come home –most people want to believe the worst –unfortunately — you know you are doing things a propos –but how would the masses ke ep their egos happy –by denigrating the person at the top — so be it — dont give a care - you are honest upright just in all your ways –no one can take that away — you are the sweetest person whos so famous and still you can relate to us on our level -who certainly do not know what you feel like –weve never walked in your shoes — but you have the same wants and desires that all humans do –you cant sit on top of a perch and say ‘im famous and the richest ,handsomest , you still have to function everyday with your thoughts and emotions and your physical self -and its never easy … good you saw navya and agastya. their certain to lift you out of your deep reverie … they are part of you your daughter and your parents and thats a beautiful thing a gift from GOD –they will bring you the utmost joy and happiness just as you brought your parents who now live through you and your memories –i hope GOD — will re-unite all of us one day — until we all meet again –stay happy —work hard play hard and love hard —until then -jackie
Even though it must have been for a short while, I am glad you got to see the grandchildren again. It sure has been another packed day full of non stop activity.
It’s too bad not to even get time for a comfort break. But it was a much busier day than the day before.
Its a shame that the media are persistent in trying to tie you down to a political alliance but you did well with your answers and I do hope that the last part of today’s post will end their speculation on this matter. I am proud that you take the opportunity to promote India through the various historical heritages we have in various states of this beautiful country.
I wonder why RGV decided to show media in bad light when he is seeking their support to promote his film? It sounds like this was not well coordinated between all of you who were involved. I hope there won’t be further repercussions from this.
I hope you get some good rest and sleep.
Rajesh
Let’s say you were German and Hitler was in power? Would you seek tax exemption from him? I do not believe a German court ever passed judgment on anything Hitler did as long as he lived. If you were Italian would you answer a request from Mussolini to promote Italian tourism? If you were Chilean and asked to do something for Pinochet? If you were Ugandan and asked to help out Idi Amin on a national matter? If you were an Indian in the age of Aurangzeb and asked to help out the country’s image among certain segments of the population? If you were Chinese, if you were Russian.. Mao.. Stalin… if you were Cambodian… Pol Pot.. If you were Iraqi… Saddam Hussein… If you were…. if… if… if…
Isn’t it ironic? To defend a national abstraction anything can be defended. The very people that make up the nation might be sacrificed for the ‘national’. If you were Sri Lankan.. if a Tamil govt was in power.. if the very leaders who had ordered an assassination were in power? if the person who had carried it out, somehow by not killing herself.. if she too were a part of the government? if she were responsible for tax subsidies? If she requested you to help out the cause of Sri Lankan tourism.. if.. if… if… would you have asked for ‘evidence’? The judgment of courts?
I believe you completely when you refer to your politics. I thought the same even before you said it. ‘Apolitical’ wouldn’t have been my word. But I do not have any doubts about your politics. With all due respect it is an insult to Basu to be introduced into this conversation. Leaving this aside what is the bar here? Those examples from history always seem ‘extreme’. And yet when they were contemporary.. Hitler was a dynamic leader.. a great leader.. he had so many sides.. he was a painter too.. But let’s accept there is no comparison.. is the bar that low?
Your character in Dev broke off a friendship.. did not wait for the friend to go through court proceedings.. I wonder whether he would have done anything for the Amrish Puri character..
I believe you completely.. but I reject your defense..
hey…i dont know how i sense that you will be posting now
Just want to drop my hello.,,yet to read ur blog
Chandana
Good Morning/Night Sweetness
Shall go and read your lovely post now. Aur aap aaram se soo jaiye.
Love for you …and for you..and ..only YOU!
Ashwini (Sydney)
Hey how are u doing……..good nite…
Dear Mr. Bachchan
With due respect….promoting a state is different from praising an individual while you go seeking for tax exemption. It will appear that you are praising in return for a favor. It is not a question of aligning with a political party but aligning with an individual who is in power for tax exemption or at least that is how it appears for people on the outside.
Whether you want to or not, you are the chosen one Mr. Bachchan and as you said for a person who is a public figure there are no free lunches and that is the hard bitter truth of life. As you said life can be beautiful and as I responded life is both beastly and beautiful…
Glad to see the spirited Bachchan back…I guess being in Delhi and among media brought the high spirits back or is it the black belt ninja’s…have a great morning and a great day.
Lakshmi
Dear Mr Bachchan,
How are you? Always a pleasure reading your blog.
Could you please someday write about your relationship with Late Shri Rajiv Gandhi. Please do oblige.
Love & Regards
Mallika
Dear AB,
It’s quite ironic that when our own Satyam raised same questions (though more fiercely) on your visit to Gujarat and a meeting with CM Modi, I offered same observations as U offered in today’s post. Nonetheless he remained unconvinced and edgy and on the top of it some handlers (invisible moderators) of this blog kept deleting his posts on the subject and made it worse.
Now, your initiative to talk on that voluntarily must bring relief and restore trust, at least in your approach and lookout.
After careful thinking and rethinking I came to conclusion that most of the time and for most of the people (including Satyam, me and others) these objections are merely a verbal exercise to prove/glorify self. To prove/show one’s so called intelligence, feelings and nobility but in reality there is nothing concrete or sustainable. It remains and it is just living room discussion without any desire of any actions from a distance.
It requires courage and clarity to do what U have been doing and will continue doing it. Let me clap and whistle for that.
AMIT JI, MY LOVE…. TO YOU TOO!!!
TAKE CARE..
Dear Mr Bachchan,
Nice post and I am completely in agreement with you. I am glad you have clarified about your aplolitical stand again. I hope some of the so called critics would get the message now . Also, its pretty reassuring to your fans.
Well done. I belive the blog helps the people to hear the TRUTH from you.
Arun
Love you for who you are and your fairness.
Amit ji,
“RANN” WILL BE A VERY INTERESTING FILM TO WATCH, I THINK WHAT MR RAM GOPAL VERMA DID WAS A BIT BELOW THE BELT BUT IT BOUGHT A SMILE TO MY FACE, CERTAIN CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE IN MEDIA, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL GET THE MESSAGE THROUGH THE FILM.
I AM STILL AMAZED AT HOU MUCH YOU DO IN ONE DAY, ALL THESE APPOINTMENTS, MEETINGS, NAMES, FACES, HOW DO YOU KEEP EVERYTHING IN YOUR HEAD, I THINK MY BRAIN WOULD EXPLODE! ON TOP OF THIS YOU HAVE THE FmXt TO WHOM YOU ARE SO LOYAL TO. I FEEL BAD FOR ASKING BUT ANY CHANCE OF A YELLOW LINE, JUST ONE OF MANY REQUESTS YOU RECEIVE ON A DAILY BASIS. IT WOULD MAKE MY DAY!!!!!!!!
LOTS OF LOVE (as always)
YOUR NO.1 FAN FROM UK
My precious friend, dearest Amitji. Once again I welcome you.! I have waited your post and very glad read it, as tomorrow (already today)) I will have very sated day and I simply am afraid not to have time to write for you a comment)
I am very glad that you have met with your dearest Agastya and Navya.! The huge joy for you to see and embrace them..!!
Your day was extremely fruitful, advancement Rann, interview., a theme of a policy. I am rather apolitical, therefore my attitude of the given area very ambiguously.. Therefore I support completely your unwillingness again to be engaged in this activity.
I support your desire again to go deep into work, my dear. It is your life, I completely understand you and my support to you in all. My dear, I perfectly understand your condition, you the person of action and cannot without work. Simply it is necessary for you to correct your work so that to find time and for rest also.
Please my dear, think of your health, about us, about those who loves you who worries about you…
My prayers and love to you and the best regards.
Now have a rest the my dear friend, morning will bring new day, fruitful and successful. All heart with you.
With warmth, care and huge love to you. Yours devoted and loving Lyudmila.
Dear AB
Interesting post and loved reading it. Appearciate your patience to write it after such a hectic day and tour…touchwood, ek kala tikka laga lijiye daily aap ko kisi ki nazar na lage…

Vinita
So much to do, so little time. I want to do it all, I want to do it now.This is the refrain I keep hearing, while reading your blog. I feel ashamed. I complain all the time of how work, home, children take up all my time and leave me exhausted. Here I see you doing so much more. And for what, one might say, Gati insaan ko zinda rakhti hain. Gatiheen insaan mar chuka hain. And you are the personification of ‘gati’. I salute you saheb!
I am also impressed with your clarity of thought and views. In the present time in India, to be apolitical is so hard. Unknowingly, you get pulled into the maelstorm of polically induced issues that aim at the heart of insecurity and inferiority complex that seemed to exist in all people.
To err is human, to forgive divine. The fact that you hold all people equal is proof to the fact that how easy it is for one to get close to divinity.
I end with these few lines that seemed to hold true for you…
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep.
But sleep you must, else how can you enjoy the glory of a new dawn.
Peace filled wishes for you..

ps - Riteish D has posted the picture of ‘the wall’ on his twitter page. It is awesome. If I could I would too have one, with film posters of all your movies…
Dear Amitji,
Sir, your commitment , your connection towards your extended family and your dedication is something to be treasured as a gift. i don’t know wether i have explained myself or said what exactly what i wanted to say, when i see you working so hard, irrespective of the time of the day or night.
I do not see what the constant fuss is all about you meeting Mr. Modi, you have not done anything wrong at all and you have certainly not endorsed any of his work or activities, so the non stop chanting of the same topic in each and every corner of media is getting quite boring and tasteless, which only the media people are enjoying and certainly not the viewer’s but who is to tell them?
Wether Mr. Modi has committed any crime’s or not is a very very long and debateble issue and you have met politician’s who have probably committed more crime’s then him, if not by way of killing people but trying to kill the whole nation with so many ways.
Amitji, if possible someday , please tell us few interesting things taken place while filming Namak halal and Namak Haram, both being wonderful wonderful movies and in both the films you acting along side two of the greatest people of Bollywood, when you feel like shareing, only then.
Till then Take care and Wish you Happy health.
Viren
MY DEAR SHILPA, Sorry to hear about your dear husband’s sudden demise. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. May his soul rest in peace. I pray to God to give you immense courage and strength in this hour of grief. My love and hugs to you and little Rujula. Remember you’re not alone we are here for you. Take care…
Amitji,
WOW, so many issues addressed in one post..
I watched the videos of the visit to star news studio and saw that wall dedicated to you, I have even posted those videos to the BigB Group on Facebook..such a hugh wall, would love those pictures on my bedroom wall..
I think the association of you with Mr Modi, did cause some uproar, I mentioned to many friends that it was not your view to think the same way as mr modi, glad you clarified it here..
Happy to see Rann promotion going really well..Barkha Dutt is really good with her debates and questioning.
Glad you got some time with your grandchildren..
Sleep well
All the best always

Hi Mr B,
Just done watching your tour of the Star News studio and you in your green tie (that wasn’t being picked up by the camera), and the ‘wall’ with the pics - tis old news…we knew it before you even told us…ya need to be a little quicker off the mark next time…!
Very brave of you to allow the media to ask questions on any topic they please..and very commendable…
I saw a few pictures on that wall that took my fancy…nod nod wink wink…yes - more on that later…stop grinning..!
What a wonderful writing. sleep well sir.
Oh…! Forgot to say Mr B…I remembered you today….but…wait for it…there’s no need to be excited…it was only briefly…I was at Chelsea Football Stadium today for a conference…

Dear Amitji,
Thank you for being “apolitical” even when media and some people of “less knowledge” try to drag you in. If a Cm of any state asks you to promote tourism for the state, it is an honor and one should do it- whether he or she is from any party. It is like promoting India here in US- what harm it is to do so? We are Indians and are very proud of it.
It was a real hectic schedule for you from Mumbai to Delhi- and back. But atleast you could see Navya and Agastya- and that brief visit boosts your energy- I am sure. Again Congrats for the awards.
Please do get some rest.
love and more…
Ashesh
It is good to see you so happy, Amitji, at seeing the grandchildren, those precious beings in any grandparent’s life.
Yes, being famous comes with a heavy price tag, it seems. But it is what it is. With great power comes great responsibilty, said Superman’s grand old uncle. How true. Each action of yours will be and is scrutinized. You are held to higher standards, and not only the media, but the aam janta of India also expects more from you than from anyone else. Just because you are Amitabh Bachchan. This is the flip side of being Amitabh Bachchan. The price one has to pay. Sad? Maybe. But reality, definitely. This is just how it is. And I bet you would not want to change being who you are.
With all due respects, Amitji, there is a world of difference between doing son et lumiere at the request of a Vasundhara Raje Scindia and others, between visiting Jyoti Basu on his death-bed (though no one knew it then) at the hospital, and praising Mr. Modi. There are people who think he is wonderful, obviously, and then there is his role in the riots after Godhara. Questionable, maybe. Unproven, maybe. But you will agree there is a shadow of doubt that has been there behind him ever since. He may have done a lot for Gujrat, the state may be thriving under him, but at best your alliance with him makes one uneasy. Please stay away from such associations that tarnish your good name, sir.
I am very sorry to disagree with you on this one, Amitji. But I think the media had a right to question your actions. I do not fault them on this one. There is and should be accountability for one’s actions. For everyone. We are all answerable to someone or the other — we ordinary mortals owe explanations to our spouses and children. Politicians to the public (at least they should, as an ideal). You, the chosen one, the hallowed one, unfortunately are no exception.
You will probably not like me anymore after this (if you ever did in the first place!!), but this is how I feel.
My love and regards, regardless, and always,
Jasmine Jaywant
To add to what I’ve said above I do feel quite guilty putting up that sort of response. Because of my personal and very deep attachment to your person and work, my deepest regard for your name and your character. I have no doubts at all about your politics. I just find the episode regrettable.
Dear Amitji,
I’ve no words to appreciate your personality, your dedication and above all your affection for one and all. GOD has chosen you to bless this world with whatsoever happiness you can bestow on Indians in particular and all the people in general. It’s always nice to read your blog, much more like my “nitnem” means - religious routine work.Thanks for sharing your mind with all of us. I don’t know about others but your writing inspires me a lot from every point of view. I’m a teacher here in Canada but the lessons and gist of life that I’m learning from you, is in a way helping me to spread goodness amongst others as well.
MAY GOD ALWAYS BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY !!!
With deep regards,
Minni
Hi there,
So I was wondering if you had information on your movie Johnny Mastana. You’ve said in interviews that it is ready for release yet I have not heard or seen anything about its release date. It seems like an interesting story so I wanted to know if it is releasing anytime soon. I am also looking forward to both Teen Paati and Rann!! Both movies seem so intense and soo different!!
And of course I want to share the group that I started called “HELP MEHVEEN MEET AMITABH”, which about 240 people have joined urging you to meet me!! I figured that I have loved you for 5 years out of my 20 years of existence and I need to take measures to meet you and I hope this will do the trick! I am going to post this group (hopefuly as it grows larger and larger) everyday on your blog until you somehow contact me, either via email, webcam, phone, so we can arrange to meet!
So here is the link, I hope you’ll take 2 minutes out of your busy day to look at it!
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=174943739550&ref=ts
I wholeheartedly wish with every fiber of my being that I could meet you. I keep watching interviews with you on bollywood hungama, cnn-ibn, etc. and I can barely stop myself from buying a ticket to Mumbai and camping outside of your house.
I really want to know how you stand being so damn gorgeous. I mean do you know how gorgeous you are? I hope one day that I can see you in person because I know someone who saw you in real life and she said you look better in person and that just flabbergasts me. I mean if you are so gorgeous on screen, then people who see you in person are probably blinded by your gorgeousness! I was watching some of your performances and I literally was dumbfounded by your amazing gorgeousness!
Ok well I hope you click on the link and make my dream come true!!
Hope I get a response!
Love you lots and lots and lots,
Mehveen
USA
ps. I love you and like I said you are simply gorgeous!
I see however many comments have made it here, those from myself and others. Those that very seriously question your position here. I cheer this fact, I always was certain that you weren’t responsible for the moderation earlier. This blog is a model of openness by a public figure, that too in the fact of what might often seem like, and understandably so, harsh and/or embarrassing criticism for those like myself.
Mr. B,
You r truly one of the most befitting Ambassadors of our country, yes why not endorse something which will enhance the prestige and appeal for the motherland, why not ,and u have done that unflinchingly .Feel so proud really , it is the dog in the manger mind set of some priggish minded junta that cause so many controversies concerning issues that could be resolved with a feeling of honour and pride.Well done.Thanks for that very “Hot” love to you and you and you!Same to you too!Ciao.
Dear AMitji;
You get so easily frustrated… a naive journalist contextually calls you a rightist and you have this in your mind after midnight and even spend probably hours jotting down your position… why.. for who… who cares?
People as such we, know what a facinating gentleman you are. My point is why are you banging your head because of an idiot….. you will always find an idiot around the corner, rest its your decision..
Regards with all the love
Sameer
finally let me also get to the thrust of your overall point. That you have engaged with political luminaries on all sides of the aisle without subscribing to any of their views. I think you should not engage with any of these figures without weighing the consequences very seriously in each case. Specially with those political figures who are very tied in with certain histories. The larger point here is that you are a public figure of enormous stature. Everything you say and so means something. This is perhaps unfair pressure for a public figure and perhaps even an inhuman requirement but much is asked from those to whom much is given. If every public figure is a victim of public life the same figure is also a great beneficiary by virtue of the very same. when people hang on to your every word and gesture there is a certain responsibility that is, fairly or not, placed on you. It is precisely your sense of nonchalance displayed in your response that invites my consternation today.
Having said all of this if I know you at all I think you regret what you are here defending. Precisely because it goes against everything that you otherwise stand for.
More than half a century ago Vallabhbhai Patel (who was certainly no liberal in these matters) issued ’shoot on sight’ orders for anyone who dared to approach the Babri Masjid. as you know the issued has flared up time and time again. Patel however refused to put law and order in jeopardy and despite his sometimes tough stance on minorities refused this kind of politics at that juncture. It seems to me that one doesn’t have to be a liberal to applaud this sort of decision.
Many years ago you suggested in an interview that you were more friendly with Sanjay Gandhi once upon a time. Later on it was Rajiv . I thought then.. but what about the Emergency? There was much that happened during that time that was disgusting in terms of some of the enforced social measures and so forth (Rajiv was of course blameless). I bring this up because this isn’t a right/left issue for me irrespective of the fact that, and to paraphrase a favorite critic of mine, I wouldn’t vote for anyone on the right even for a dog-catcher’s position. I do not condone pogroms but nor do I do so for enforced sterilizations.
A personal anecdote (as you can see this subject has animated me a great deal!) — I have always very angrily reacted to even the slightest suggestion that there was anything but the truest ‘Nehruvianism’ in your politics. The purest secularism. I would pity anyone who would doubt this. But this current debate isn’t about your credentials. It is about some of your statements and actions despite those credentials.
Dear Amitji,
You don’t need to justify your action to media. We, the people, understand you.
You can go ahead and associate with any state of india or anywhere abroad for promotion.
Your association will be with GUJARAT and the people of gujarat, NOT WITH MR. MODI
Wish u all the best… Naiya
hello….. hav a great day!!!!!!!!!
Dear amitabhji,
who else can match the wits of media? marvellolus answers . eager to see the star news coverage but dont have that channel here in my apartment . will see on internet .
warm regards and love,

Good morning Amitji,
I am back after a long time. Hope you have noticed me in my posts. By the way life is the same. I actually met with an accident on my bike. The good news is that I got the video of our interaction at Idea Paa Talk to Auro Meet and Greet. This will be the most treasured thing in my life. I would like to give you a copy of it. I will be coming to your office soon to give it to you if you are available or hand it over to the office staff.
Everything else is fine. I am looking forward to see you soon with an invite for my marriage as promised. I would love you to grace the occasion and also visit the satellite city. Ek teer se do nishane. Anyway good to know the ideology that you follow has been wriiten here by you. This will help the youth which is coming closer day by day understanding the political and judicial scenario in India, knit together.
As has been said, ‘United we stand, divided we fall”
Love you lots

Dear AB,
Once body is on the go and mind is occupied, there is little left to think. Great to see you back in action.
Your “apolitical” stand and explanation is acceptable. I would, hoever, look at it as a perspective after having seen-it-all and done-it-all in the land of politics. Your stand fascinates me for a reason that there is no bitterness towards any parties. There is then, of course, only benefits from such wisdom and you are, as an example, getting them in the form of a tax-free film. I would also applaud the timing of this post.
A “friendship” might get ruined in the game of money and politics but an “association” goes long way as long as interests are mutual and benefits are ample!
Your thoughts are always a pleasure to read. Keep writing.
love
Veena
And again because this debate is taking place on your blog my esteem for you has increased greatly today..
morninggggggg
great read.. hope u rested well…have fun today….
ciao……laterzz….love!
My Dearest Mr. Bachchan,
iam delighted to find that your one day visit to Delhi has been fruitful to you. it indeed has helped you to get rid of your sad and melancholic mode which overcome you yesterday, and it got you to regain back your more active and cheerful state.
it was such a long day with lots of interviews and it is so great that you managed to take the opportunity amidst the non stop movement and non stop work to see your sweet grandchildren and enjoy a warm hug from them. they are certainly the source of your joy…May God bless them.
i wish i could see this massive panel of your photos on that office wall..it must look so impressive. and i would also love to watch your interview with Barkha Dutt. im slightly familiar with her as i managed to watch her on NDTV channel only a couple of times, and i also watched an earlier interview with you before and it was a great interview. from what you say she seems to be a real intellect with interesting views.
the media’s anxiety and resentment towards this critical anecdote of them shot by Mr. RGV is very much understandable. It is true that no one bears criticism, more so if it is the media, that fourth state which believes that it is the only entity that is entitled to criticise and question while it refuses any kind of criticism of its own attitude and ways of conduct.
It is such a kind gesture from you to understand their situation and to ask Mr. RGV to withdraw this anecdote included in the promotion. But it should be an eye opening footage to the media as it comes from public readers, from those whom it addresses and tends to affect their views. It is better then to consider these views instead of rejecting and shunning them.
Your decision and your consistent attitude to keep away from politics is one to be really admired and appreciated. being public figure gets your actions, deeds and associations to be always under scrutiny and judgment from both those who approve or disapprove of them, and it is sad that the media always try to seek attention making use of your name and allowing the emanation of these undesired controversies.
I feel sorry that you have to face such an attitude by the media..
My love to you…and only you..

Dear Amitji,
Wow! What a post!! By far the finest in recent days, and U-turn from the last one - driving deep down to taking a turn to reaching the skies. The best line was when you let the media be Lord and yourself the Jew - “Do you mind choosing someone else, for a change!”
With best wishes
Tilak Rishi (USA)
‘Heavens almighty‘, is that it?!! Oh no my dearest, even the good Lord cometh not to thy aid at this iniquitous bewitching hour!
Shockingly, the year has hardly begun and we are straight back to the punishing schedules and unceremoniously slumbering over the breakfast bowls at dawn with birds chirping in the distance! Seriously, please be mindful Mr Bachchan the contents of your days are beyond ludicrous in light of all the fragmented travelling you undertake so regularly; its no wonder you cannot unwind when you finally try to achieve peace. Please do not allow this to affect your metabolism…
I am more than delighted to note the verve is back into your tone and spirit though! It warms my heart to know how revitalising cuddles with your lovely grandchildren is for you and equally you must have provided just the right measure of loving encouragement for their test tomorrow. For me to wish them the very best of luck would be a poor proxy; but I shall nevertheless…
Yes, your movements today were meticulously documented, the Star News escapade in particular made innovative footage. And otherwise you gave wonderfully judicious answers about ‘the paid news syndrome’ in the electronic media. But, in light of this this unrelenting anxiety about ‘Media Bashing’ that show reel incident was highly unfortunate - I am cringing for you!! To be fair RGV’s faux pas in the media limelight have become his ‘pies de resistance’, or perhaps they always were. His brutal candour first alienates women from his film and now almost the media - Is it any wonder there is consternation and resentment? Marketing and public speaking or relations clearly does not appear to be his strongest asset, so its a huge relief he is taking your ‘wise counsel’ to save this film!
You are not only the nations insignia or spokes person; but you seem to be that vital link connecting cinema, brands, national and international, political issues with the public. The personable face and voice of India. An insurmountable responsibility perforce, but there is no other capable of the job. Politicians certainly do not have the charisma; actors do not posses the acumen or experience. You are the chosen one and yet are regularly thrashed by the almighty hand that chooses you whenever a minuscule discrepancy arises! You dare to hazard an alliance with someone for legitimate business purpose and a furore follows! Even on this blog, people expect you to address international issues on behalf of the country and its incomprehensible to me! I’ve always identified this as tough love from a nation of devotees; everyone wants you to match ‘their’ paradigm of correctness - nevertheless its unjust and undue pressure on man already swathed in plenty!
May I suggest you simply pack up and head for the hills Mr Bachchan… and I’ll meet you there with a getaway car…
That’s ‘my’ love for you…
Jasmine

Hi Amitji,
Full of enthusiasm and energy again! You took us all today along with you to experience the chilling winter of Delhi going round the various studios,witness all your interviews, get back to the humid warmth of Mumbai and finally connect with us. Your shoulder pain was bothering you a lot during your last interview with Barkha and you weren’t very happy with your responses. I am sure this one went off very well!
You are perceived to be completely apolitical…and your offer to promote tourism in the state of Gujarat has been thought of as an exemplary gesture considering the busy schedule that you follow. The media personnel try to create controversies because that is food and fodder for them!
Regards and good wishes,
Shubha

Life on roller skates!!!!
Your post is as usual nice, but I have less to respond…it is too full of political names
Go ahead and do what you fell happy about….it is normal for humans to query
Promoting tourism in Gujarat is good, hopefully sans any political afflictions
Have a great day
NDH
Ah !!! forgot to lament…alas… one of my responses, last evening vaished
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
Awesome post. Truly great the way you were able to separate the State from the Ministership. Ministers come and go but the States remain and yes having you promote them is a great boon for the people of the state.
We are all praying that you get some rest and also not miss your Dad and Mom too much. They are up in the heaven and smiling with all the accomplishments that you are doing.
Your dad especially would have been so proud that you have taken up writing daily to your Fans worldwide and you are writing so well. Do share your Dad’s works more often.
Lots of Love,

Dear Amitji, Good Morning. A very nice and balanced post on Media treat you got. I must admit it is a pleasure meeting people who enhance lives of others through sharing their intellect. People who give you enough attention to know you and then question you. I more than agree about what you say about meeting a person and then getting all flak needlessly for doing your job.
Promoting a state for tourism is in larger interests of the country. People have to rise beyond petty thinking. If people in media think like this it is bad for them. They must think dispassionately and also with a positive outlook. It is not what a Barkha thinks it is how media perceives. Honestly what sells gets talked about. It is exploiting human nature and unfortunately media is feeding on it. The young ones who run efficiently as you describe may not be having that LIFE”S experiences to fall back on and think deeply. A man with ages and lot of experience can only see through things. When you say you will promote Gujarat or Uttar Pradesh despite opposition it is your magnamity to dissociate politics from development. To dissociate individual deeds from larger good of people. I must say it is your greatness that you remain apolitical.
Hugs for Agastya and Navya from me too because in all your media and Rann story that is icing on the cake. A personal pleasure is always an oasis in life. We work to travel places but when we meet our loved ones it is like a shadow of tree on the roadside. Very sweet in hot sun.
Ram Gopal Verma might have shown truth in the extra clip. Sometimes truth has to be also packaged well in some lies wrapper. No one likes naked truth.
My regards to those who make progress possible despite politics bringing a stop to progress. Regards to people who think of larger good in public interest.

Enjoyed watching you receive the Life time achievement award thanks to the link posted by Satyam. Your expression while listening to Akshay kumar praise you was precious and the Montage on you was moving. You are a true legend and the reason why we want this legend to be free of blemishes.

Dear Sir,
This is how controvery started. You have justified yourself in a correct manner to promote country and that to by state to state.
Resigned from Politics ” puch on word felt how badly you have sufferd by this word. You have lost a good friend Late Rajiv Gandhi……
All is well.

Dear AmitJi
It was nice write up..The wall of your picture was amezing which we saw on Star News..I do agree with you about promotion of various states doesnot proves that you belongs to that particular party.You are son of Indian soil and should be ….
Thanks & regards
Dear Amitjee
I am doing my course work and its 02.21 early hours of the morning and am watching you on star news……..I had to leave my work and write you to say, thank you sooo much for enlighterning an amazingly background of what happens behind the screen. You were great through out and made the younger generation proud and I make it, that those present in the newsroom will treasure your pressence throughout their lives as you treated them with respect, love, affection - still not enough weight in the words that I am trying to describe….
God Bless you and your family. I am also a big fan of Abhishek and Aishwarya

You have concluded this blog at 4.02a.m. i wonder when u sleep! Your day passed in hectic activity and night u passed in writing blog. When will u take rest? u r taxing your health v.much. take care.
Namaskaar Amitji,
I’m glad to hear that you’re busy again, but would like to take a second to tell you that when a tired body moves from one extreme temperature to another, one must be extremely careful. You become extremely susceptible to colds and the flu, and vulnerable.
Do take care of yourself and keep exercising, keeping in mind that we should do everything in moderation.
Good luck with RANN.
With lots of love,
Leela
Hi Amitji,
Your distinction of state and leader is truly prolific. All the states you mentioned sure do need the tourism cash inflow. Your humility in complimenting Ms. Barkha Dutt is the characteristic trait that Aishwarya deeply admires and all of us try to replicate but can never duplicate.
I don’t presume to think you have the luxury of reading these comments. May I suggest Speech Recognition software that might allow you to blog while providing you the courtesy of a good night’s sleep?
QUESTION:
Would you care to talk about the metomorphosis you underwent during the shooting of “Be-Naam?” The change that occurs in a young man when he seeks, captures and embraces his masculinity which was evident you went through and by the time the movie was released, you were truly a new person.

Dear Mr B,
What hectic activity, the mind whirls just reading about it!
Did catch glimpse of your retreating back at the airport. We were discussing the frenetic pace of life of public figures at some point of time later in the day and how it makes them so uncommon. Am personally glad to be common and one of those not chosen,would not have been able to keep up with the pace.
Glad you are sounding upbeat today,probably the outcome of the Delhi cold and meeting with the grandchildren.
Today is Basant Panchami so will go for Saraswati puja in a little while.
Have a great day,
Regards,
Nandita
I agree with what you said ….I know its wrong to put it here..something you left off some-time when I was born…there is a thought in my mind for long pouring it here. You always says you are apolitical person and politics is not for you (I am quoting from the article/interviews of urs) but you know the more you say this the more I want and wish to see you driving the present and future of India(being on the front seat)..something which is not going to happen but miracle do happens who knows when…hope never dies !!!!

Dear AmitJi
Your work and morals are inspirational. Today I happened to read the Preview of “Teen Patti” . Looks like, it has been taken straight out of the book “Bringing Down the House”. The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions. It is a book by Ben Mezrich about a group of MIT card counters commonly known as the MIT Blackjack Team. I hope and wish that, proper acknowledgement is given to the writer and the book.
Wish you a long and productive life.

mera ji hai jab tak teri justaju hai
zaban jab talak hai yahi guftagu hai
Khuda jane kya hoga anjam is ka
main besabar itna hun wo tund khu hai
tamana hai teri agar hai tamana
teri arzu hai, agar arzu hai
kiya sair hamne gulzar-e-duniya
gul-e-dosti main ajab rang-o-bu hai
ganimat hai ye did wa did-e-yaran
jahan mund gayi ankh, main hun na tu hai
nazar mere dil ki pari “dard” kis par
jidhar dekhta hun wahi ru-ba-ru hai

Mr. Bachchan (Jai) not only did you do the right thing in praising Mr. Narendra Modi, you should join him in the BJP along with your family and friends like Veeru, Dharmendra! Then Jai-Veeru will be once again on the same side and kick khan ass supported by congress!
Hi Sir,
Lots of mobility today, but you probably did not mind it due to your love for your work. The promotions of RANN are continuing, and from the beginning of your post today, it seems you enjoyed some portions of the interviews you were apart of. To support a state, which in turn is a part of the nation, is lending yourself to the country not to any political leader or party for that matter. To stand for the well being of the country to help take it forward is not as you have mentioned, siding with a particular view. You have made that point very clear in today’s post. The decision of not showing the last footage you spoke of was wise because in the end to have the support of the media would be best and to not hurt their sentiments would be the right way to go.
Regards and Love,
S
Jai Narendra Modi!

Dear Sir
You are genius and hard working but I request you to please first take care of your health. Please take good sleep of atleast 4 hours.
No body can match you - You proved again and again that you are the most important and dignified citizen of India. you are above all politics,region, religion and caste.
Sir - you are inspiration for all of us and I pray to almight for your good health.

Respected Amitji,
Good Heavens!! What a packed day!! Thanks for sharing every bit of zip-zap-zoom day!
See didn’t i tell u .. very soon u will meet the kids?? good that u did manage it so quickly. The kids would have been so delighted to see their very beloved Nana just before their tests.
This time you seem extremely happy with the interview with Barkha. It was the last time when you weren’t so happy abt your answers though actually it never seemed so when watched on TV.
Sir you are rare package made by creator.. You are tooooo good to be associated with crooks. Haaa yes, agreed… you have elaborately told us that the ‘issue of promoting a historic place is the intention and not the person/party who has invited to do so’.. But sir, as there is always a Wish to see you with the right people, we tend to get some funny feelings deep inside.. Well that is my thought… But on the other hand, i totally agree with you that the media should not build up stories of connecting every other politician u meet. Yes, you have made it very amply clear that u will not join poilitics. Its time that the media should stop asking such irritating questions.
Okay sirji.. we sure respect your principles that U would associate with the Cause rather than the person.. We are with you sirji.. Go ahead!!(sori..am talking as if i have fullest right.. kya karein.. aapka EF hu tho i take that extra bit of advantage) No one but you are the best charm to promote historic places of our country. Yes sir.. ‘You are the only chosen one’!!!
See you are so good at your thoughts that despite some anger with the media, you still give them the freedom of asking questions, advised RGV on taking away the extra footage against media. Who, where and how many do we really find in the world who can think like you sirji.. Very few.. cos ‘You are the chosen one’!!
lots of love and pranaams

PS: I liked the start of ur post 11.59 p.m..but ended at 4.02 a.m?????????? do u think u should start thinking abt taking care of your health and sleeptime sirji??????? aaaiii?

You are not political is proved by your knowledge of a very difficult spelling, mistaken by many. Its “Yeddyurappa” not “Yedurappa”.
Hahaha.

# Dear Shilpa dhondarikar
I could read your post only now. I am extremely sorry.. I am so so so short of words. You seem a young lady but with a highly matured outlook towards life. I just want to run to you and hug you. Shilpa, this blog gives life for the lifeless, solace for the needy. Such is the power of this blog-ghar. Because the head of our family Amitji is such!!!!!!!! You are free to enter as many times as you want. There are many many many goodies here including Jasmine of NJ, Vijaya, Kashmiraji, Shankar, Manish, Srinivas, Dev Kishin ji, Angel, Zainab, Sanjith, Mousumi, Anu, Daisy, Kalpana, Lakshmi Jag.. many many many more.. the list is endless Shilpa. Now these are also your friends. Do share your thoughts Shilpa. May god give you and cutie pie rujala lotsssss of strength.. ( i dont know, my eyes are moist as i write this to you)
I have arrived at the radio station and even before preparing for my show, knew I must open your blog first-priorities!
It’s great that you could see the grandchildren in the middle of all this madness. I’m glad they listened to your advice about showing that reel.
All those examples are perfect for your argument about being apolitical. It’s advantageous to your country to put its welfare above politics.
I have always loved that joke you ended with. I enjoy our Jewish humor.
I better get ready for my show now. Thank you for connecting at such a late/early hour. I’m glad you enjoyed your trip.
Love,
Rochelle
Dear uncle,
Hope you are in the best of your spirits…..
First of all congratulations for all the awards that PAA has taken at the very beginning of this year.And I am sure there are many more to come by the way Mr.Bachchan……
And yes,it was really pleasurable to hear your say on Geo and star tv channels about the peace initiative ‘Aman ki asha’.
Saw you on Star news today where you had gone for the promotion of Rann.I just couldn’t take my eyes off you for even a second.You look so charming and graceful,I don’t have words to express what it felt like seeing you…..
Now,I have one request.Please read my letter which was about you,in Khaleej times(Dec 9).But due to some technical problems with the site I cant get you to the link now.But please you will have to assure me you would read it when I get the link.It will only take two minutes off your busy schedule.I am trying from the same date to get your attention to it but couldn’t.And last time when I got your reply,there was no link in my comment
Take care uncle
Good night
Sweet dreams
Love….you…..a……..lot……..
Dearest Bigb,
I dont know why, but ever since you wrote your post in which you mentioned about Mr. Narendra Modi, his simple life style and great admistrative capacity, my respect for you have only increased multifold. It goes to your credit that you are able to see and perceive reality in its right perspective, irrespective of whatever negative and instigated media campaigns, and I adore you for your courage in translating into words your opinion as it comes to you.
I may be a supporter of Mr. Modi, but moreso I feel much devotion to your splendid mind.
With kind regards
Sarat
Like your visit to Noida where I started my first job in Hindustan Computers Limited (HCL) in August, 1986. HCL and CEO Mr Shiv Nadar. I do not know if you ever had a chance to meet him or rather if he ever had a chance to meet you.
I am in kind of puzzle, a condition of disbelief and hard to believe that you did all this in one frigging day.
With my mouth and eyes wide open……Lots of love to you as well.
Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh,
Bhaai, kyaa teletherapy ka koi course kar rakha hai.. I did get up at a few ten minutes before four.. in fact I had thought that it was ten to five.. so I decided to get up.. by then you had not sent this new post.. How would I know you were working on it.. mere paas to koi doorbeen hai nahi.. yet.. I did check the blog and was little surprised to not find the normal late night edition from Bachchandom.. it is all right.. it was on its way.. when I left the fray..
What a speedy post.. I bet you would have finished it at quite some pace.. I know.. at times.. the thoughts just burst into us.. and fingers also support.. I wish that were t happen to me when I type in Hindi.. but it does not.. and most of the time when i really wish to say or type out my thoughts in Hindi I do take a bacj seat and decide against it… bhaai kavita likhane aur type karne mein bahut antar hai..
I did lik the post.. that is usual.. I liked the speed at which the post travelled.. der aayad durust aayad..
Nothing very significant could be done since the morning.. I did see you word of caution to parents regarding the stress and pressures.. they have crated a lot of thier own pressures by doing far too many things in far too little time.. and the balance sometimes is not maintained in what is useful or gainful from what is a waste of time.. it is so easy to say tha.. yet I would respect your concern.. I would rather want Savita to take a heed from your words.. too mjuch expectations from the young ones do put them under stress and press them hard when unable to get where they want to.. The Television which is so good in most of the things is one particular culprit.. some kids Amrit included do not know when to put brakes to watching TV.. they unknowingly kill their available time.. which results in poor time management.. on top there are computer games which also eat away a sizable time.. parents must find ways to control and curb these two activities to a stage where it does not create imbalance in their studies and growth in other spheres… easier said than done.. main to bilkul hi dhyaan nahi de paata hoon ki Amrit mhashay kyaa kar rahe hain aur kyaa nahi.. kabhi kuchh boltaa bhi hoon to bhaisahab mujhe hi daboch lete hain.. aap nahi khelte ho aap computer par ghanto nahi baithate ho.. vaakai meri bolti band ho jaati hai.. example is better than percept.. I shold first cut down and practice what I wish to preach..
I do take leave of you for now..
It is good to hear that you had a great time with Navya-Agastya and also had a blow hot blow cold experience from Mr Weather in Mumbai and Delhi.. meri to ab sardiyon mei dilli jaane ki himmat hi nahi padati..
Love Affection and Respect..

dear amitji
greetings,
The media is also composed of irresponsible people. they probably do not have something important to ask and try to make news out of irrelevant things.
forget them and enjoy the joke :
“Lazyness is the biggest enemy ” - Jawahar Lal Nehru
“Always Love your Enemy ” - Mahatma Gandhi
Ab bolo Bapu ki mane ya Chachu ki ?
have a great day.

Dear Brother
Sadar Pranaam
Here I did not write much about cricket.. as there was not much of competitive cricket till sometime bakc.. Yes, Bangladeshis cam quite close to India in the first innings.. that they fell short of just one run..
More disturbing news comes from the IPL 3. Bhaai main to dekhane vala nahi hoon.. The kind of treatment that has been meted out to Pakistani cricketers by our franchisees smells of some kind of illness in their minds.. I would not blame Modi as much for it.. yet it speaks of his initial intent in almost closing the doors on the Top Twenty20 team.. I think besides commercializing cricket IPL is also going to politicise it as well.. very very wrong move.. and I would not be interested as long as the Pakistanis are not there in IPL 3.. I may alone be the looser.. so be it.. I did not see TRi-series for Praveen Kumar episode.. If Afridi, Gul and Tanvir do not find place in IPL 3 it can not be impressive of International level.. Pakistan is not only current champions they have great flair for this form of cricket.. records and statistics speak for them..
Good Bye lalit Modi.. I did enjoy the first IPL.. I could sustain interest in IPL 2 but IPL 3 is out of question for non-inclusion of Pakistani stars.. I think it is time that teams are forced to have one player each from each of the major cricketing country like South Africa, Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka besides other overseas players..
I do not think IPL 3 can loose its prominence by my not seeing it or watching.. my website would miss the statistics that hade been compiled and reviews that were written.. No comments on why did Franchisees did not pick Pakistanis yet full resistance to such ulterior motives..
Love and regards

Hello Amitji,
you have mispelled the chief minister of karnataka B. S. Yeddyurappa as Yedurappa. Still the writing is so wonderful and inspiring.
Long live amitji

Wow when do you sleep Mr.B and how many hours????????
You really had a hectic schedule media and all that. Anyways Iam sure you enjoyed every moment of your Delhi trip. Meeting the kids must have been an added bonus.
You take rest
Love
Sheetal
Dear Amitji,
Wonderful post!!! Glad that you wrote the post despite the late hour, but pls Pls take care of your health.
Lots and lots of love
Take care Jyothi
Dear Amitabh,
A word of caution that you may stick to your taking proper rest, health plan and follow strictly the sleeping hours and more importantly, the fixed time to go to bed.If you show any degree of negligence to the pattern, it may hit back hard on your health and temperaments later in life. Take care of it as health is God given.
Regarding your acceptance of being an Ambassador for Gujarat, it is good that you do something above politics for the benefit of the state and the nation. As an independent observer, my earnest desire is that other states shall not be in similar race of getting film stars / icons for their states’ ambassadors and that craze is to be curbed in the beginning. The Tourism department and other related officers must work ardently to promote the values, development of each state and the CM is the amabassador of his/ her state, it is his/ her main responsibility to raise the standard, provide good infrastructures, welfare of the state and not necessarily by a marketing strategy thro a brand ambassador. Let us not mix the functional roles and responsibilities.
The development as seen and felt by the people in the same state or from other states or countries would speak volumes for evolving further changes, progress and prosperity.
Regards,
Ranjit
Best Morning Sir,
Seeing you on Start News last night was delight as it was shown live. We could see everyone’s (in the news room) expression and the awe and delight for you while camera kept chasing and showing way to you. Howsoever big, small, expert or naive in their field THEIR DAY WAS MADE ! Yes, we saw on their faces. Always energetic and effervescent Deepak Chaurasia was gaga on you. To show, to tell, to share each and single piece of education, experience and expertise on anything related to TV News technology TO YOU. Yes we could see that. And he and others were not wrong, they have been made like that only BY YOU. With you aura, charm, magnetism.
We again thank the Almighty to have sent us to India in YOUR time.
Thank you is too small for you sir.
I remain…
Ek Vivek, Dilli se
From Here to Eternity…
Hi Mr. Bachchan
Good to know that in spite of the choc-a-bloc Delhi schedule you were able to meet Navya & Agastya.
I sincerely admire the fairness when u replied to Barkha Dutt that u shall happily be a part of UP tourism promotion in case the CM asks for it. After the elected member for any state cannot be bigger than the state or the country.
I don’t know if I have missed watching it last night, I hope not, may be ur interview shall be on air today on “The buck stops here”…
Take care
Love & regards

dear amit ji,
wish you a happy republic day. mera apse ek question hai.please do’nt mine. hindi filmo ka fan hone ke naate i want to asked to you a question. all of us know aamir khan is very very good actor amir khan ji ne bollywood ko lagaan, rang de basanti, taare zameen par, 3 idiots jaisi world class filme di hai.phir bhi aamir ji ko award function me ignor kar diya jata hai. hum sabhi jante hai ki aamir ji award function attend nahi karte but amir ji award function kyo attend nahi karte kyonki unka manana hai award function is not fare means award sahi logo ko nahi diya jata hai . jaise 2008 me taare zameen par jaisi film dene par bhi aamir khan ko (iifa) award me ek bhi award nahi mila. year 2009 me GHAJINI jaisi blockbuster dene ke baad bhi aamir ji ko sabhi award function me ek bhi award nahi mila. year 2010 me apsara award me ghajini ki performence ke baad bhi shahrukh ko rab ne bana di jodi ke liye award diya gaya. pura world janta hai ki aamir ji ki GHAJINI ki performance sharukh ki rab ne… ke compare me jayada strong thi. main ye nahi kahta ki sharukh acche actor nahi hai lekin ye bhi sach hai ki award function me sharukh’s friend hum sabhi jaante shrukh ke friend kaun-kaun hai yash chopra banner ko aur amit ji aapki family ko hi award milte hai. ya jo award function me performence karega usko award denge. yaha tak ki aamir ko 3 idiot ki performance ke baad bhi kuch nahi mila aur yahi reason hai ki aamir ji award function attend nahi karte. amit ji aap indian cinema ke sabse bade actor hai isliye maine aap se hi ye question pucha. amit ji kanhi na kanhi award function me kuch galat hai. amit ji aap mujhe is QUESTION KA answer jaroor dijiye IGNOR MAT KARNA . meri e-mail id http://www.vikask1820@gmail.com par iska answer de please please please . thank you.
You are brilliant sir…I completely agree with you on this matter. I think the media at times blows things out of proportion. Its a privilege to read your blog.

Dear Amit Ji
I think Vikas Rawat is right Award function mai sab mile hote hai isilye to sahi actor ko award nahi mil pata are Abhishek ko best supporting actor award mila is it right ? ye to fake hai aur to aur Akshay ko best actor male ka award mila jabki 3 iditos mai Aamir was great ab to Bhagwan hi jane ki kise kya award mil raha hai accha hai ki aamir aur salman award function attend nahi karte kyuki in awards ka to koi meaning hi nahi raha ye to family drama ki tarah hai
pls sir i wanna know this Question answer and u should give because u r the MAHANAYAK ok sir
aap sab ko objection uthana chaiye betuke awards diye jaa rahe hai aur sir pls answer dena zarror
i m waiting comments to padte hai na?
What a busy day for you! However, I always get the feeling that you enjoy being active which is very inspiring.
good luck with your projects and take care,
loveyou
Dear Sir,
Nice to hear about yesterday’s gruelling sessions you had to undergo while promoting RANN.
A question that persists and needs to be answered is that does meeting an ailing 95 yr old should be seen as one’s willingness towards a political party or should that be seen as a courtsey??
Like you i too have great regards for journos of the like Mrs Dutt,Mr Roy etc but what puzzles me is that how can such a question even surface given the intellect these wise people have.
I mean they see and follow policital system on a daily basis,how can they be so naive in their thinking and can see one’s meeting that is usually related with seeking tax exemptions within a state for a movie linked with something that one has vehemently denied over the years.
I would like to ask that if it is not a move to serve the viewers with “what they want” then what else is it.
At times i feel sad when eminent journos ask these kind of questions.
the basic problem is that news is not broadcasted “as it is” rather its presented “as it should be”.
This is where the diffirence lies.And No matter how much you say or do they will never accept their fault.
Well,that’s a human for you,accepting one’s mistake is the biggest hurdle that he can never overcome.Afterall it needs courage to stand up and accept your mistake.
Meeting and socialising with people is a very healthy activity but in news its always seen as a person’s intention of aligning his activity with that of the person/organisation met.It’s sad and cannot change in near future.
The only reason is that in todays’ world everything is linked with monetary benefits.
Giving citizens the right news is actually a social activity nt linked to monetary benefits as you are serving the citizens of a nation,but it’s not seen in the manner it should be.Ad-sales revenues are more important than giving just the right news because the organisation will not have money then they will be unable to run,so they need more and more people to watch for which they need to sell sensationalism.That’s the crux of problem.
In the same manner serving/treating a person of an ailing disease is a noble casue and doctors are supposed to be doing it even if a person is poor.\
But if one is not financially strong enough to bear the burden of his medicines the hospitals n doctors ask them to knock another door.
In conclusion wha i would like to say is that society as a whole cannot improve till the time their activities is de-linked from financial beneficials.
Love to you and more

Dear AB,
Writing after long time, but don’t fail to read your post every morning bafore starting anything.
Todays piece was excellent. The way media tried to grill you and the way you’ve handled the situation…simply great.
I wish I grow old like you…..and may every Indian have a conscience like you.

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
The debate is not about your politics. We all know what you stand for. The debate is about those who use your image to make their politics look legitimate and gain some credibility. The fact that such elements are constitutionally elected heads of govt. is the greatest irony, which we are forced to live with.
Greatest regards,

Goodmorning Amit ji….

Dear Amitji
It is always pleasure reading your blogs. It is absolute fun, wisdom, advise and something to look forward to always. I take lot of inspiration from you, these blogs. Your views on promoting the State of Gujrat is absolutely right, all the states belong to India and not to a particular party or person. There is nothing wrong in promoting your own country.
Take care, love
Ramesh kapoor
All the best for your new movie. As quoted by you- like the Jews you are the “chosen one” in the public eye and there will be always some media house to write those “juicy” stories. Do not know if you will be reading this post but just want to share that today is my wedding anniversary (18th) and 13 years ago when my son was born we named him Abhishek drawing a lot of criticism from our family members back in Kerala because they did not understand why a Christian should give a Hindu name for their first son- But my husband and me have been your greatest fans from school days and having lived in Abudhabi for many years my better half (who is 6ft 3″) was many a time called Amitabh Bachchan by the Palestanian friends- something we both felt proud of.
Dear Sir
Great to have you in my City Noida but equally sad that I missed the opportunity to meet you. Well, even if I knew that you were coming to Star News Office at Noida, No one would have let me in. My 8 yrs old daughter was equally upset that Mumma couldn’t meet Amitabh Uncle. She was asking me ki Mom Aapko pata hona chahiye tha ki vo Noida aayenge. Well I wish I knew.
I saw your visit to star news office (On Star news channel). You are amazing sir. I wish I could spend a day with you talking abt ur movies, ur life, ur struggles, ur achievements. I wish to learn a lot from you sir.
It was amazing when you suddenly disappeared after a digital screen (jadu jaise).

appreciate immensely ( to be euphemistic) your comments on journalists and political alignment! utterly humorous and entertaining read! -
and on another note - keep up the momentum and grab all the best actor trophies up for distribution in the awards season - grab them whether you have a film to defend or not - they’re all yours …this year or another! rightfully!

Sadar Pranaam
I did read the complete post only a few minutes ago.. I was too self-obsessed with the news of Pakistanis not being party to the IPL 3.. and concerns over Children Computers and Television compounding to stress thereabout..
I saw a highly apolitical Amitabh Bachchan in the latter half of the post..I saw how secular Amitabh Bachchan could get to be.. to be a member of the clans of not only BJP.. Communist.. Congress.. or even BSP.. The bottom line.. I found Amitabh Bachchan is apolitical enough when he meets and greets such diverse politicians with same ease and similar course of action upon meeting them..
Well.. Brother.. you need not remain apolitical.. you have full right as a citizen of this country to practice and prefer one political pary over the other.. that you do no indulge in that kind of acts speaks volumes why you are loved so much by Modis, Basus.. Dikshits and Scindias.. who knows bahan Mayawati too has a deep idea doing in her mind as to how to invite you over for dinner and settle out different issues which she had been indulging and granting Tax exemption to Paa in UP.. and you taking up the cause to illustrate the Taj.. Varanasi.. and Lucknow’s traditions..
I beleive what you say and I know you are almost right if nt rightis and have left nothing untried without being leftist just to assure that country promotes peace, harmony and brotherhood.. slowlt and steadily you have put your best foot forward and we are all proud of each of your acts.. the acts other than acting so to say..
I rememeber how I loved the Muqaddar Ka Sikandar song.. the one around you after salaam-e-ishq.. I sing it to you..
Tu maseeha mohabbat ke maaron ka hai
hum tera naam sunakar chale aaye hain..
ab dava de humen ya tu de de jahar
teri mehfil mein yeh dilajale aaye hain..
ek ehsaan kar apane mehmaan par
apane mehmaan par ek ehsaan kar
de duayen.. de duaayen
humen umra bhar ke liye..
aan.. aann haan..
Abhaya Sharma
Post Script:
I would not mind singing another song if you like the songs and music.. which I know you do..
Dear AB Sir,
this is in response to Jasmine Jaywant and a few others and to a lots of media, who are questioning your association with CM Modi.
The following people are or were associated with CM Modi in recent past:
1. Ratan Tata
2. Mukesh Ambani
3. Anil Ambani
4. Baba Kalyani
5. Lots of foreign business groups
6. Quite a few other Indian industrialists…
Is Narendra Modi, a bad person? Who are we to judge?
Are the people - media, asking the people of Gujarat (except for Congress, of course!) the question?
I request respectable media groups - NDTV, CNN-IBN, TimesNow, to conduct a nation wide, debate/poll on this:
Is Modi been beneficial to Gujarat & in turn to India?
Beneficial in terms of economic development?
Its becoming fashion for quite a few to deride Modi and people associated or meeting him!
Remember all - even after those bad incidents - he has been VOTED by the people of the state!
VOTED - in a democratic manner - THAT’s WHAT COUNTS!!!
All opinions, thoughts, praises, acceptance, rejection, voice - should be converted in to a vote - in elections!
Yes, you can air your views - but you should know that a larger number of people have OPINED against your view.
Take care AB Sir, love you always…
Dear Amitabh,
I can’t actually believe that I am writing to you. I am 33 and have long been a fan of yours, probably since childhood in Srinagar,Kashmir. I am really happy that you are still around to entertain us. May God give you a lot of strength and energy. However, I am perturbed to see Abhishek still struggling in the industry, despite having established his credentials as a talented actor. I hope that he achieves great success soon. It would be an honour of a lifetime for me if you could drop a mail to me at : bamzai3@yahoo.com
Keenly awaiting your movie “RANN”.
Best Wishes for 2010.
–Sachin Bamzai, Japan
Dear Mr. AB,
I feel completely out of my league to comment today.
But I am reading the discussion with great interest and a sense of awe for its depth and fairness. I am proud to call myself a member of this family you created.
With all my love and respect,
Renate
DEAR AMITJI,
ITS ALWAYS PLEASURE TO READ YOUR BLOG. I AM TOO SMALL TO ADVISE YOU ON ANYTHING BUT YES I CAN TELL YOU WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE THAT MR. MODI IS A NICE HUMAN WITH GREAT VISION FOR GUJARAT AND HE IS HONEST ( NON CORRUPT ) AND ENTIRE GUJARAT KNOWS AND FEELS WHAT HE HAS ACHIEVED IN LAST 10 YEARS .
WE ALL KNOW THAT SPECIFIC PEOPLE FROM ENGLISH MEDIA IS AFTER HIM,CTHEY CAN DO THEIR BEST TO MALIGN HIM BUT ULTIMATELY WORK AND ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER AND NOW PEOPLE KNOW THE GAME OF MEDIA .
SIR, IF YOU THINK SOMEONE IS DOING RIGHT YOU MUST PRAISE OR SUPPORT HIM AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO EXPLAIN…. WHY???
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE RANNNNN!!!!
SIR, SLEEP WELL AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH .
LOTS OF LOVE
ANAND
Dear Amitji,
This is the reason why there can be one only one, original , AMITABH BACHCHAN from whom I need to learn so many many things, ways, ideas, presentation and only then I would be able to sit next to him oh….across him… and be able to speak something in a public domain. Well leave that to the industry, not my cup of tea.
I am here as an FmXt because then we will be able to exchange some home goodies, respect, unadultarated love, greetings, non-office talks.
I think I got the meaning on the note on Jew. That says it all , the rewards for pure service and worship.
Love

After a highly emotional day yesterday, the day sounded like one of your regular ones- mechanical, publicised and tiring. No wonder the transition would take a toll on any human being. Oh the politics… What shall I say coz I will only be wasting my time and precious words.. Some things will never change Sir… Who cares as long as we loyal to our conscience like they say “People who do not want to will never understand you and for those who understand, you need not explain yourself”… That’s so true. If it’s in your power to influence people and utilizing it in a right way, why not? I read the time as 4:02 am and its surely not a time to stay awake not for any reason Sir.. Please do take out time and rest. May god keep you in the pink of heath…
Lots of love,
Shweta
Dear Mr. Bachchan,
This time I can’t comment on politic subject because I don’t live in India.
Who are outside of India and never live overthere, don’t try to advise
or participate in this subject because for sure you will be wrong.
This time is your debate and Satyamji debate.
From my side, the subject is and will be You , wonderful you….
Am I patetic ? May be, but for this reason I’m writing in this blog !
You was lucky to be back in time at home, because on news shows the big
fog with zero visibility in Delhi ! All kind of traffic was delayed !
I think you have lots of new pictures of you today, so…….?
If you are….I still love you !
e.t.
P.S. Thank you for writing to us at 4:02 in the morning !
See? I love you for this too !
Dear Sir,
How are you sir ?Happy to know your yesterday’s trip to delhi.Very-very good answer to those who ask,why are you willing to promote tourism in Gujarat.
With love&respect forever,

Dearest Big B,
Your replies to the media are too good!
When it comes to MEDIA, We can see your widly open eyes, your Uffs…Huuuhs…Come-ons…your ’salllay kya puchchtey rahtey hain’ !!!
But one blog post knocks them down - down flat!
You win - lots of love

Looks like a provocative post today. But I find the comments of Satyam and Jasmine Jaywant a little harsh on AB. Comparison of Mr Narender Modi with Hitler, Idi Amin etc. is not correct. AB is not endorsing Modi on all issues. Modi is the CM and one has to deal with him only like so many prominent personalities such as Ratan Tata have done.
This post does deals with some of my concerns. I think its not good for us to be judgmental on everything you do. You can not on your own set everything right if it was so everything would already be perfect.
Happy Vasant Panchami
my dearst Amitabh Bachchan..

i love the answer to the media about you visit mr.Modi….good one…

my dearst ,Politics are for Politicians…you need to be one in your heart ans soul do be in Politics…
you are a good human being,you cant do Politics ….well,you can ,but ,you are not made for it……keep doing what you love to do and what you are the best at….couse you are the best…you know it for sure by now..dont you????
i belive you didnt have time to be with your fathers work as you wanted in Delhi..you had so much to do all day….but he is allways with you in your heart…

may you allways be……as for us Jews..
all the best to you and my love…
have a good day ….

Dear Amitji,
It was good to know about Star News. Also I was encouraged to see your response of being apolitical. You are perfectly right on the what you have specified. Just by attending a function it does not mean that person becomes political. And you have provided several good examples. I appreciate your ideology.
Thanks
Shesa
My dearest Mr. Bachchan,
It was good to see you so charged up, after a lull, and a spring in your step, so to speak! I am glad though, that there seemed some method to all the madness while you were in New Delhi, thanks to your wonderful expression and writing skills. Most of all, that little mention of your being able to gang up with your very own little Ninjas and clasp them in your loving arms, was the most gratifying to know! Blessings!
Coming to more serious and pertinent issues, your being apolitical is absolutely your prerogative…it is your fundamental right to be that way if you so wish, but your logic and your stance regarding obliging anyone and everyone, should they request you to lend your face and your voice to promote their ‘territories’, does not go down very well with your personna, specially considering your lineage and your image. It is one thing to be dedicated to one’s work and be focused on it single mindedly….it is quite another to do so without a conscience. The political leaders you have mentioned above, whom you said you would have no compunctions to oblige should they give a call for you to further glorify and promote the States they are heading at the moment, are those people who have been proved, beyond a doubt, to have been guilty of excesses which should make any self respecting, right thinking citizen of our Country cringe with shame. Ofcourse, it is altogether another matter, that due to weilding power themselves, they have effectively escaped being punished so far. But for how long? It is not about you having to prove anything to your audiences or the world at large, but it has everything to do with the conscience you keep, as a right thinking, law abiding and honest citizen of the Country.
I have admired you from the day you appeared in public life…without so much as even knowing anything about you…nothing at all…just on the basis of your talent and your body language with which you so effortlessly brought your characters to life, it would become difficult for me to hold the thought that you were someone else who was just play-acting that character! Then, as you grew in your profession and came into your own, I found my admiration growing alongside too, into an obsession, and today, I adore you - to distraction - as an Actor, as the Son of Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan, as Jaya’s husband and most of all as the human being I’ve come to know now, thru this excellent medium of your Blog! And this, precisely, is why I take the liberty of drawing your attention to the different aspects your stance would throw up. It will be, and should be, entirely your decision to do what you think would be right, but as an Extended Family, it would also be our place to show you the flip side of what your thought process could lead to! When one is in the limelight, especially here in India, it is always prudent to distance oneself from public figures, whose misdemeanours and excesses have been internationally acknowledged and denounced!
I must seek your pardon, should my missive not go down well with your views, but as in any close-knit family, here too, there are bound to be some members who will fear for your safe keeping and be concerned about your image being misrepresented. Take good care of your precious self.
With loads of love and blessings,
Ever and always,
Kashmira

Dear Mr. Bachchan,
I am happy that you are involved in many activities yesterday. They are woven nicely in this blog. Questions by media about your Gujarat visit have come very late. I think the next day it would be published. Anyway you have clarified it very correctly in this blog.

For our EF now, if you will permit me Mr. Bachchan? Thank you….. :

Believe me, I would love to know you better too and meet up with you someday….sooner than later I would hope! And like they say, it is a small world, so we can safely hope for this to come about one of these days? Take care and God Bless!

Respected Amitji,
I was really touched by your gesture of coming down to see Shri JYOTI BASU at AMRI Hospital. I have always admired your human qualities, have tried to inculcate them in my system and try to learn from all your action and deeds. Your PAA is another incredible performance and I strongly feel were you in US you would have surely won the oscars. Your worthiness still remains unrecognized as it should be and I feel very strongly that your true and real potential still remain untapped.
By coming down to Kolkata you touched our hearts deeply and we are once again reassured that great men like you are so humble and sensitive. I have been watching Jyoti Basu’s day to day developments from here in the UK.
You are truly great, and for our sakes don’t ever change!!!
You are still remembered fondly as Vijay….
Hello Amit Ji
whatever is happening around u is due to ur personality in the world. Since u r not a common person for this country people take a mean or want to take mean for everything u do dats why these uncomfortable situations arise. Hope u r quite familier to these and adopt very quickly.
Best of Luck for “RANN”
Dear Sir,
Thank you for writing so good and setting a good example for your readers with your kind advice. I too would think that you’d agree to promot UP if the Chief Minister asked you to, setting aside any personal issue. It is good to know that people may be aware that there are things which are more important than a personal grudge or something similar. Like one’s love and duty to their country, like doing things that would benefit to the humanity.
Cheers,
Elif
pranaam sir ,
how r u ? i completely agree with u ,in a hurry, bye bye

Hi Amit Ji,
“”Jai Ram Jee Ki”"
I feel very happy to read your interview blog, really you are a very clever man, who knows, how to handle Indian media. Such you have also a great mind with infinity thoughts & also a big thing which i never seen ” your igo”. I don’t know you effected by this desease or not. That’s why I’m a biggest fan.
Sir last time I contacted to “Mr.Pran” , in that time his health was not good. Could you tell me about his health.
A lots of love to you, to your family & to your grandchildren “Navya and Agastya”
moooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaah

hello sir how r u,
well i just see u on star news at newsroom u look amazing and so handsome but u said tht its channel and reporter say u r mellinium star but its people and fans says ur u will and uwill always
Respected Mr.Bachchan,
Quite a long post by you today.I am glad that you have explained your point clearly.You have been away from politics for a really really long time now.Hope you don’t have to explain your actions again and again in future!Do continue your association with good work.
Agastya and Navya Naveli are beautiful names!
With warm regards…
Mr Bachchan,
A qn I have been wanting to ask many celebrities for a long time.. but you know.. if only things were this easy that I could sit across and ask this face to face… (which is a mere impossible dream I should say)..
So anyways the qn is, I see many celebs saying fight piracy, etc etc.. but my one simple qn.. why dont the celebs help us commoners fight high entertainment taxes (unwanted n unnecessary) and also the exhobirant ticket prices which the cinema halls charge us (recent example - one had to pay Rs 350 a ticket for movie- 3 Idiots). Wouldnt you agree piracy would have never spread as a virus today if we fought these taxes and ticket charges than asking us commoners to pay such high prices.
Vishal
Dear Amitabh Bachchan,
It is such an interesting , balanced entry.. I enjoyed reading it - the details on your day and it clarified things on some issues..
*
But something made me kindly laugh ! When I wrote yesterday that it was a nice and warm day here - indeed it was 45 Fahrenheit which equals approximately 8 Centigrade !! I thought it was warm : ) , for the winter, and of course for you it is a cold change from your Mumbai climes.. I am glad you did get to dress appropriately ! : )
*
And I am so happy you got to meet your grandchildren Navya and Agastya ..and that they are good
at Mac computer game : )
*
Myself being far away from anything to do with any politics, I completely understand your position on meeting different political representatives who are authorized to attend the issues of your concern and make decisions on them. And I believe that it not the reason at all to identify you with their views. And it is great that you are helping the economy of any State of your country with your endorsements - generously without any bias of prejudice !
It is a very positive approach to treat everyone according to their need and do good for them without judging them and labeling them. You have a wise and generous heart ! I think it conveys the message of peaceful existence and building together things positively instead of constant criticizing and quarreling…
You always find something sincere and good to say about each person you meet and work with…
I love this quality of you very much …
*
I wish you to have a good and peaceful day and to enjoy the warmth of your home..
May God bless you and yours.
Much love to you.
Tatiana S. USA
Very busy schedule in Delhi.
I fully endorse your views about your willingness to contribute to development of any state of the country irrespective of party or individual in power in the region.
The country is always of paramount importance than individuals and parties. The individuals and parties may change but the country will remain the same.
DEAR MY LOVE AMITABH BACHCHAN BIGB,
Israel’s rainy morning, cold and gloomy …
An excellent opportunity to be somewhere warm and watch an Indian movie.
No more fun seeing the film Satte Pe Satta or MARD or BAGHBAN enjoy you.
Have a good day and happy,
Love you to no end

# 1 Pawan.. Thanks for sharing those fotos.. Needless to say, i adored him in alllll the fotos. He is just the right face and has the right expression in every foto. But on a special mention, i loved all the fotos with his family.. He is out and out family man!! Very happy to see him so attached.
I just finished with my radio show and it was twice the work as usual because in addition to filling out my usual playlist, I had to fill out the BMI College Radio Log which includes a space for the songwriters. It’s very hard to do all this when my average song lasts 2.5 minutes and I have to cue up the next tune! Luckily when I get to the last half hour and the Indian music, the songs are much longer. I played ‘Sara Zamana’ because of your post earlier this week.
I was thinking about your argument about associating yourself with certain politicians. I understand it but I just have to say it would be very difficult for me to have associated myself with George W Bush or in a very extreme example, with Hitler.
I hope your day isn’t so nonstop today and you have time to use the washroom!
Love,
Rochelle
Dear Amit Jee,
Politics is a filthy game and after all you are above politics. Your thinking to the world of community as I believe is like you had painted the globe with white color in “PAA” and applause by Abhishek.

बहुत और बहुत सारे सम्मान के साथ आदरणीय अमित जी,
Few days ago your expressed your love to all your extended family, you wrote something like…….. to those who show concern……… to those who advises………to those who visit the blog and express their opinion ……. and you said they all live in your heart ……. and I was thinking what about those who read the blog everyday, think about you 100 times a day, love and respect you like thier own parents and pray for you BUT just can’t find time to write to you, do they live in your heart as well??
I feel sad and bad that I am not on our blog as often as I would have liked to be. For God sake Amit jee, since 1978 from the age of 12, you have been more than a family, from the time when Bombay seemed like another planet and one never thought of meeting you ever– forget communicating with you and than one day meeting you and to this—— the frustration of not being able to write to you everday……..
All I can say is that you are in my heart all the time and that is all it matters to me.

sir blog me aap aacha likte ho, magar me chahta hu ke aap kisi channel pe aake aaj ke yuva no ko sandesh de. kyu ke aaj bahut se yuvan sucide kar rahe hey to specially aap koi channel ke sath bat kar ke ek aachi speech de ki jise yuva no me confidace aaye aur unke dimag me se negetive thoughts dur ho aur aap ke 0.01 pratishat bhi banjye to wo aachi bat hogi
thank you sir
Hi Sir…
I totally agree with your point of views .
Any STATES run by anyone is always a part of India n if in any chance an opportunity is there that an Individual or anyone or any group can help in promoting the states and by which revenues might be generated then it all goes to the proud country we live on!!!
why then the partiality and trying deliberately to make it a political move or something like that!!!
Media..ohh media!!! grow up!!!

Hi Mr Bachchan
Hope my mail finds you in the best of your health and spirits.
It’s so nice that inspite of your quick N short trip to delhi ,you were able to meet Navya naveli and Agastya.
I truly support you regarding your firm reply to Barkha dutt.It’s fair on your part to promote any state through publicity adverstments irrespective of the CM’s party.
Looking forward to watch the interview.
Take care
Love & warm regards

Hi sir…
hi sir…u started writing the days blog at 11:59 to 4:02 am!!!
Dearest Amitji,
Happy Basant Panchami to you and all my dear ones at Fmxt. my blessings and good wishes to Abhi too as i hear its his birthday today!
i just dont know why my posts 2u dear, have been going missing from consecutively 2days??
from some days u are charmingly seen on most TV channels for i guess its promoting ‘Rann and ‘Bingo i presume.
what have u to say about the spate of suicides in todays youth which is alarming being a real matter of concern to todays parents and elders!
do write about it in ure blog would love to hear some philosophical notes on this issue. u being an international figure having a pedestal /stand should do a take onn or ‘Prachaar’ on this delicate issue will be a good promotion in other ways for ‘RANN’ ! ( as is your character in the coming flick i guess!)
hope to hear something on this topic tomorrow or someday soon.
take care as always -
anuradha.
my dearst Amitabh..

Please convey a very happy birthday to Abhishek. If I remember correctly, he was born on Basant Panchami! Happy Birthday!
Dear Amitji ,
well said ! People from various fields , like films ,politics ,
media and business try to do their bit for the country . They
must be allowed to do that . Those who do not contribute
towards nation building , just talk .
Whether it is you ,or Mr Narendra Modi please carry on the
good work that you do . Do not get distracted by people with
vested intrests and hidden agendas .
Tall claims don”t speak work does . Gujarat is a shining example
of what vision and hard work can do .
Enjoyed following you all day in the press . It is easy coz you
tell us in advance what you are doing next day .
Thanks and take rest ,
Love to you and family ,
Sumesh

I try to remain apolitical on the Blog for many reaons, but especially because I am acutely aware of my ignorance of Indian politics and history. However I have huge sympathy for the view all three of you have expressed today in such a respectful but impassioned way. Mr Bachchan’s mere presence, let alone any perceived words of support, inevitably lend huge kudos to any public figure with whom he associates, and it is a power that must be used wisely and judiciously. From all I have read on the blog from those of great wisdom and compassion - and nothing but love for Mr Bachchan - I feel deeply uneasy about his association with Narendra Modi. And I feel great admiration for all three of you, and the many others here, who fight with such grace and concern for humanitarian issues, and against any kind of violence or injustice or communal bias.
With love and gratitude from Daisy
Hello Mr Bachchan,
i just wanted to ask you what are you going to promote in Gujarat?
Gulbarg Society, Naroda patiya, or the place where a pregnant woman’s womb was cut open and her fetus burnt? or Babu Bajrangi? You always talk about your grandchildren. Those who died there were also someone’s grandchildren? How can you even think of praising the butcher of innocents? Agreed, he may have developed Gujarat. But is 6 lane road a criteria to judge a state? I know my questions will never be answered. My reply may not even be posted. But i had to convey my message, so i did. I think the peace loving, secular people of this country need an apology from you.
Jasmine Jaywant#53 dear,have been enjoying reading ure responses from sometime and particularly 2day what u have mentioned all in this column. being Frank and truthful and i like u the more just as will Amitji also! so have no doubt on this? love to u.
Satyam#30. we need writers like u on this forum bold and truthful, and fair with good opinions shared with all. keep up the good notes. best wishes and love to u.
hi friends and all family here my heartiest good wishes on the occasion of Basant Panchami-love anuradha
Way to go MR. B!
Sirji…
On a lighter note.. what happened to the kissa of using the wash room?? when did u mange it?? hope today u have some time to relax!
Btw, saw ur jhalak at bingo.. loved the way u were munching biscuit (i guess) and talking.. Bingo seems to be all round entertaining show!!
dear archana,
yes it true that i have got immense support from fellow blogger friends. but this is shri. amitabh uncle’s blog. is it appropriate of me to use it to reach out to people or share my thought on this space?
i genuinely do not know the etiquettes of blogging. people must be opening up this site to reach out to amitabh uncle. right ?
i just expressed my grief to him and in turn got so many genuine condolences and prayers that i do not have enough gratitude to express. i surely want to continue writing and sharing with you all but is this the right spot ?
please do reply to this. all of you who have reached out to me and rujula in our grief.
thank you all.
shilpa and rujula
yessssssssssssssss AMIT JI U R INDIAN FIRST AND WE R PROUD TO HAVE PERSONALITY LIKE U IN OUR COUNTRY

Hi sweetheart
What a befitting reply. Ummmah. Wel done. I really loved the line that you are promoting a state and thereby the country. I wish that the politicians develop this kind of thinking so that instead of involving themselves in stupid things like beating other state or region people who are staying in their state, they should involve themselves in maintaining unity.
hey waiting eagerly for rann and teen patti. wish you all the sucess and happiness. love you as always. Waiting to meet you soon again.
loads of love hugs kisses cares and prayers for you darling.
My comments are just not appearing.
I have given up after the nth try.
Hye Amitabh uncle.Wish u a good day in delhi.Best of luck for ur upcoming film.
Hello Sir,
Your views on the young kids/students commiting suicides. We would like to know your comments. I understand that Your were rejected by All India Radio(AIR) because of your voice— HAHAHA. and see where you are. In case this is true please explain to the kids/students of Mumbai and India that FAILURE IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SUCCESS.
Hi AMIT JI !
Are you a human being ?? Or a Angel ?? Or maybe,another creature of GOD ?? But,whatever you are,my whole love is alwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays for you and only for you and obviously,remains for you ! Ok,Now going because you make me tired with your schedule and need some rest 
Just kidding 
Best of luck for Rann and Teen Patti.
Oh My GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How you do a lot of work with great hustle bustle ? Now,I am in doubt
Love you very very much and always ,
Please,take great care of your self ,
Khuda Hafiz.

Sir,
Your energy is amazing. Travelling to New Delhi to Faridabad to Noida, facing the press,and back to Mumbai and then writing to us.My God…
You get recharged whenever you meet Shwetaji although you never mention it. I guess you miss her more than anyone else.
You are respected by all kind of politicians for the amazing qualities you possess.They respect you for what you are and not for any political milege out of it. Benefits ,if they reap are only byproduct of such association.

Hi Amitji,
You are absolutely right that your country comes above any political party and that by promoting a state or place is not giving any backing to any way of political thinking and you have not shown any such prejudice by the wide variety of support across India with left, right and centre parties ruling different states.
Rann is a few days away and I wish it success like Paa.

Dear Amitji,
Today you have triggered a hot topic. That of making your support available for patriotic, heritage / brand build activities irrespective of the ‘baggage’ you vis a vis that person may carry. The concern and confusion is that it is juxtaposed with the tax exemption each of them is capable of giving for PAA. I guess we need to understand each issue independently.
1.) You support the state because they are doing a yeoman service of brand building India through the rich culture and heritage which exists in each region.
2.) The state sanctions tax exemption since the movie showcases the ‘normalcy’ with which a physically challenged child should be handled.
3.) There is no ‘qui pro qui’ (in consideration of) here. Examples from both sides are :-
Your voice over for sound and light shows of heritage locations in the earlier years surely did not precede / succeed tax emptions of any of your movies and Munna Bhai, Tare Zameen Par etc. did not have Sanju or Aamir promoing anything for those states that gave exemption.
The quick hug with the grandchildren has disinfected you of the melancholy that persisted through the last few days
End line -
If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they’ve invaded your territory.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout … Run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.. Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you’re not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
Yours as always
Ramanathan
Satyam - Your love for AB was evident in how animated you were in the morning. Made me jealous
Your passion for him is inspiring.
Phyllis - Your concept of ‘cringe’ on ill timed counsel was brilliant like most of your thoughts.
Valorie - Your quotes and thoughts on ‘Dad’ yesterday had me thinking of setting up a separate Valorie fan club for you. Awesome
It’s good to be home after being stuck in the elevator of my building, pushing the alarm button and banging on the door for about 10 minues which seemed more like an hour. One of the building workers finally opened it and seeing me come home at this hour, ironically accused me of working too hard.
Needless to say I will be getting plenty of exercise now walking up the five flights to my apartment from now on.
Lately I’ve been feeling like that chosen person.
Love,
Rochelle

Hi sir.,

सर आप मुझे केवल इतना बता दो की आप को इतनी उर्जा कहा से मिलती है.
आप का जो समर्पण है, वह अतुलनीय है. आप भी अपने पूज्य पिता जी ( स्व. श्री हरिवंश राय बच्चन) की तरह एक आदर्श है!
आपके लिए निम्न पंक्तिया हैं…!
कोई चलता पग चिन्हों पर, कोई पगचिन्ह बनता है!
है वही सूरमा इस दुनिया में जग में पूजा जाता है!!
मृदु भावों के अंगूरों की आज बना लाया हाला,
प्रियतम, अपने ही हाथों से आज पिलाऊँगा प्याला,
पहले भोग लगा लूँ तेरा फिर प्रसाद जग पाएगा,
सबसे पहले तेरा स्वागत करती मेरी मधुशाला।।

Mr Bachchan I am curious to ask you something.
1 How did you feel when AIR rejucted you as an announcer?
2 Did you ever imagine you would be this successful?
Thanks and keep up the good work. Like the billion Indians, I also love you and your awesome work.

You have amazing clarity in your thoughts. I love the way u have expressed so clearly about your intentions of promoting tourism and acknowleding the development of state.

In public life, there are no free lunches to survive on.
does any of this really make any sense ?
ans : yes !
free lunches …oh really …………. ????????
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!! come on …this really make any sense ?
now I said NO …..
Dear Sir,
I regret I shall be keeping my comment very short today not least because of the amount of work I need to complete.
Rather heated disussion going on in the blog today.
MR Modi may have been guilty at one time. However, the majority of electorate WANT him in power. Thus he remains so, legally. It is the voters themselves who have decided that present times (for all we witness now) take precedence over the past (for all that happened then), whatever their reasons.
Your visit to Gujarat was purely for commercial reasons, for the benefit of both sides. You did not visit Gujarat to congratulate him for the riots that took place. Other than that I personally would keep a little distance from controversial figures.
Love,
Daksha
Dear Manishbhai,
Thank your for providing the link to channel 4 yesterday. What can one say about human resilience? Harmony prevaling in hell !! That is what it seemed to me. I noted that for most of the mothers who struggle to make ends meet for the sake of their children, the husbands/fathers were no where around to be seen. Perhaps I missed something.
Best wishes,

Dear AB,
It seems it’s time for U to offer your insight and observation on temporary undemocratic moderation and handling of this sacred blog just a while ago for a short period.
While watching clips of your tour to Star news on you tube, couple of things popped out in brain. TV ASIA (Home away from home) still going on here in NJ, USA-almost unchanged and unfortunately seems without any vision, know how or proper management. It is a miracle that H.R.Shah on the helm of it has been able to continue this.
Star news or any other Indian news channel’s anchors jobs are surely a tough and challenging but at the same time very responsive one. Unfortunately they turned out to be a weak link. They all seem to be mechanical, repetitive, dishonest and without conscience. Competition, policies and unscripted reporting undeniably turns into fictions, sensations and malicious stories. It’s shameful and disastrous recipe for any nation.

sir, i want to ask u what r your views on the partition of up,ap and maha that people are demanding for.
This is for Satyam’s(#30) comment..
f U were literally believe your own written words and take Modi/Hitler/Saddam/Idi Amin as same entity, then U would have surely done something concrete. Then U would have offered something more than words. Then U would have acted. Then U would not have merely offered an opinion. Then there would be Just Modi in state and in Center. Then there would not be supream court.
I completely don’t believe U here and reject all your verbose at least this time.
Dear amitji,
I am currently staying in chandigarh which is an amalgmation of two states,punjab and haryana.
Ur decision to endorse gujart and modi is a mutally benficial one.U give tax exemption,i will wipe your dark patches.
Correct me if i am wrong
Hey there!
What a day!
And what a price to pay for your popularity! No wonder why you were reminded of somebody else being the chosen one!
BUT-Hats off to you for going through that kind of a day and THEN write till morning (yes,dear Lordy! What were you thinking! TAKE CARE!)
While i do applaud your stance- states being bigger than CMs and you do things for states irrespective of CMs, but a bitter fact remains, some associations will be looked askance upon- no matter what the reasons behind the associations.
And somehow I feel you shouldn’t be sucked into that quagmire- you’re an artist, above, far above these….I wish you to be there always, and with us, of course.
Lots of love, as always
M
Associatiing a person with politics just because he has gone to seek permission from an authorized person (politician) is unfair. It just couldn’t get more absurd. And those who keep crucifying Mr Modi for an incident for which he is not yet convicted, must hold on to their horses till the judiciary gives the final word. How many chief ministers have been able to match MrModi on the development front? He has created a state, where the whole world is standing in queue to invest…so it is better we respect the selfless serice of the man. I am no fan of BJP or nay other political part…Nevertheless I respect good performers and Mr Modi is one of them. As far as his non secular image is concerned…we are nobody to pass judgements…we have courts for that.
We belong to a country where person like Kasab, accused of a massacre, is also given a chance to defend himself. So why be unfair to someone who has done so much for the country. Justice shall prevail…jornos please be patient and don;t paint every politician with the same brush.

Amitji,
Please be apolitical person and promote peace, goodness, honesty in the society. I think, that will be your next big contribution to the society. Rajdeep Sardesai is doing a better job and he can be roped in too for such campaign.

Dear Lion King,
Good to hear about Star news’s efficiencies. Uday will be one happy man if he reads this blog today. Bharkha’s interview will be looked forward to with a lot of keenness at my end. I am glad you were able to catch some precious moments with your lovely grand children.
I believe it is Abhishek’s birthday today as per the hindu calendar, wishing him a very happy birthday and a glorious year with god’s choicest blessings.
Today was spent in doing the biometrics for a few visas for the UK etc and hence thought it would be appropriate to blog on Indian consular services abroad. An insight into the same - A time inside the ICU

Dear Amitji,
Atlast you chose a frame that suits you the best. Your eyes look good and so is the face- looks younger.
Yes, you are right we should be ready to promote any part of india- its our country.
Recently, I heard hat you are planning to build Film cityin Ahmedabad- is it true- that will be great.
You seem to be very busy. I was happy to see you and DHARMENDERJI TOGETHER AT AN AWARD FUNCTION.
Convey my love to your grand children- I feel you are trying to make up for the time not spent with Abhishek in his childhood since you were too busy as a superstar- we can understand. Now you enjoy!

Tusi great ho Kake !
Commendable that you associate yourself with historical monuments and preserving the culture of India. It would be even more commendable if you can lend your support to the Kashmiri Hindu’s cause who were forced out of their homes 20 years ago and no party secular or otherwise seems to talk about them but they all glorify the razing of the disputed structure in Ayodhya. why?
So Sir, will you do something about Kashmiri Hindu cause to create awareness? I apologize if you have already taken up the cause and I am ignorant about it.

Hoping you are well and not suffering too severely from burning the midnight oil last night. Apparently, sufficient time in slumber land was not attained…
Looking forward to watching this interview with brainy Barkha Dutt. Your last and most enlightening with her dispensed with any reservations I harboured about her slightly interrogatory approach to you previously on that ‘Bofors Blogging and the Ghandi‘s’ interview if you recall. Her caustic tone was my main grievance then; otherwise, she does epitomise professionalism and surely must hold you in only the highest regard.
Personally I have a resolute resolve in all opinions I sustain. I cannot be overtly neutral and will not acquiesce to the opinions of others for the sake of having an opinion. Being ‘apathetic’ to political matters, will reserve judgement beyond reiterating that you are primarily an actor and dragging you into political mud slinging always seems unwarranted and unfair.
Presumably neutrality for a public figure is the toughest stance to maintain. To the media who needs to categorize your opinions it implies impressionability and an opinion that can be persuaded under duress and this is the reason they try. Ironically though being neutral is the best position for you. The ensuing outrage if you did demonstrate partiality to any side does not bear thinking about!
Anyway I am very late in my schedule today, just wanted to wish you well. Incidentally, I enjoyed the fruit’s of your labour for Rann yesterday. The articles are thought provoking and do place one on the raisers edge of curiosity 9 days pre-release! Admittedly some of your shenanigans at Star News had me in giggles for the day, but I won’t elaborate on which ones.
I sincerely hope, beyond reason, this day has not been so gruelling for you and again its nice to see your clarity return, but please don’t allow your bountiful thoughts to continue flowing until daybreak again Mr Bachchan…
My love as always,
Jasmine

Modi is indespensable for Gujarat;and hindus are unsafe in Gujarat without Modi.
This is a reality and is amply proved in last 3 Assembly elections. Modi has been elected to power for three consecutive terms with comfortable majority which is a record in itself.The city of Ahmedabad is free of communal riots now and all communities are living in peace .
I have stayed in Ahmedabad for 2 years and it was difficult for me to move about freely in some areas of the city due to communal riots in 90s
The branch of a Nationalised Bank I was In charge of used to remain closed on account of curfew at least once in 3 months.
There is all round development of state of Gujarat during Modi’s tenure.
By calling Modi names we are not only exposing our own mental deficiencies but also questioning the business acumen of Tatas, Ambanis and Mittals.Modi enjoys solid support of NRI fraternity
The Gujarat riots were result of Godhra incident in which scores of hindus were burnt alive by the miscreants.Modi had nothing to do with the riots. Any stern action by the Modi Government could have resulted in heavy casualities.
The Media is primarily responsible for damaging Modi’s image in the eyes of common man.

Dearest Super superman
You have been awake till late….please take good care
How are you ?
It feels great to know that you had met the grandchildren
Hmmm..politics, i have had very limited knowledge about that but i appreciate the good politicians….as from Paa..Politics is not bad..in fact it is the most essentials thing for any nation.
We certainly need more and more honest , passionate, young people in politics.
Barkha Dutt is awesome and Arnab Goswami too
Take very very good care of yourself
Lots of love

So Mile sur is being launched on Jan 26. Very historic.
You recorded for it long back, but I guess the departmental bureaucracy takes its time and for a good cause.
Awaiting Rann on 29 Jan
Ramanathanji,
Thanks for thought provoking dog teacher laernings. Very true and worth implementing in life.When we were students we always envied those puppies in arms of most good looking girls in those luxury cars.we always wanted to experience both.
Endline-Every dog has its day.
Regards and lots of love.

Your writings are far better than Barkha Dutt in all aspects like knowledge,thoughts and language. Dont be jealous of her.Believe me she is not more brainy than you!
I hope AB would also clarify this in tonight’s missive.

dear friends,
i am getting addicted to this blog. the void that shashi has left cannot be filled. but this sharing is working like a therapy. today i performed 12th day rites of shashi.
my performing all the last rites was shocking to lots of people here. but i could not and would not have any other way. i loved him so much i had just had to do it for him.
on the second day when i went to collect his ashes i was left in shock to see my shashi a good 90 kgs of tall well built husband reduced to mere 20/30 bones and ashes, being able to fit in a small earthern pot.
i had to wait for his side of family to come from nagpur before i cud disperse them at sangam.
i was clutching to the earthern pot and crying my heart out waiting for his relatives who were late due to some problem with their vehicle.
it was like extending my grief. but i had no other choice but to wait.
the time to letting go of the ashes was equally traumatic becoz that was the final letting go of something which i could physically hold. now whatever are left are memories which like fragrance i can feel but cannot hold physically in my hands.
after that as per hindu rites i had to go to the ghat on 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th day that is today.
tomorrow is the final of these rights the 13th day. pooja at home. rujula not aware of what the pooja is about but happy to have so many guests. i have decided not to display shashi’s photo and initiate any questions in little rujula’s head.
but i am certainly feeling very very lonely at this juncture as all his relatives will be here along with mine and he wont be here.
i am having a certain breathlessness, a certain twinge in my heart from morning today. everyone tells me i have a brave woman, which i dont feel i am. i just know that it is out of love of my shashi i am being able to do all this.
i just keep remembering those lines ” chitthi na koi sandesh, jaane woh kaunsa des, jahan tum chale gaye “.
i visited the hospital were he was taken after the accident to express my gratitude to the doctors, nurses, wardboys for whatever they did for him in that 30 critical hour of his. it was my misfortune that he left me, but the efforts of the hospital team does not overlooked.
as it was accident i could not donate his eyes otherwise somebody would have been able to look thru his big black eyes.
as i write all this tears are flowing a sense of helplessness prevails.
we all love our families very much. we express our love towards children very easily everyday by kissing hugging them, getting them gifts or sweets of taking them in our laps etc etc. but we dont do so with our spouses. we generally take them for granted or just postpone saying how much we care.
fortunately in my case i dont know whether it was premonition but i just told shashi just 15 days prior to his passing away how much i loved him, what he meant to me and how much is respect the efforts he takes to keep us happy.
i request you all friends to take a pause tonite and tell your husband/wife how much you love them and how much they mean to you.
thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts with you all.
shilpa
i have mentioned 30 critical hours. but actually it was just matter of 30 - 40 critital minutes.
Dear AB,
Please take a dig at this media. how shamelessly they report the lies, how glamourously they run after filmy stars as if country is made up of them, how conveniently they ignore the person who has rights and morals, how subtly they hit a person. Just rape them off. Barkha, she interviews for money sake and i bet my shirt for even an ounce of journalism and professionalism she ever displayed. We need real reporters who just report fact as it is. simple and mature. Hope india wakes up soon like me !!
Dear Amitji,
Namaste
thanks for your very nice analysis.
I saw “Aman ki Asha” on utube, beautiful poetry, song and beautifully recited by you.
All the best for keeping our culture and heritage alive

Dear Sir,
Your gujarat visit seems to have brushed few people the wrong way round. I personally don’t understand why all this fuss is around. Lets analyse it. Everybody knows the role of G.W Bush in Iraq & Afghanistan… Does that stops our PM or head of states from other countries including Middle-East from meeting him or doing business with USA. Our Secular PM MS has termed Bush as the best US president for India. Here PM is appreciating Bush’s support for india in clinching important deals like the one for Clean Nuclear Energy. In the similar light we should all view the visit of AB which was purely on professional front. He appreciated what he saw, he naturally can’t comment on what he hasn’t seen or is yet to be proved by the law of land. Congress is held guilty of organizing 1984 Sikh riots, one of the worst riots in history. Doesn’t our current Sikh PM represents the same party.
Dear Amitabh,
I’m a huge admirer of yours and a huge music fanatic. I am currently 19 years old and a huge fan of Hindi music. I have been waiting since I was 6 years old to hear the songs from Gayak (1996) that Big B cassetes had the rights to.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMaYpHrgZ9o a youtube petition
Please Big B, it is my dream to hear these songs in full and I have been praying/hoping for over 13 years for these songs and with no such luck or info!
Please Please listen to my plea and somehow get these songs to my heart just like your movies have filled a huge void in my life with gems like KKKG and Black. Itunes, youtube, online radio, tapes whichever format but please I can’t stand the wait. =[
my email is ishqvishk@gmail.com
Please don’t ignore this! =[=[ Amazing songs like that should not be hidden away in a music back. In this day and age with itunes, you can still make money off unreleased stuff. Especially when it’s this good. Please amitabh oh my god.
Your one of the most powerful figures in bollywood, only you can make it happen . PLEASE please please pleasee
I BEG OF YOU. PLEASSSSSSSE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

Dear Shilpa!
My condolences to you and yes! you are one brave woman. May God be your harbinger.
Take care,
Amit.
I am a new reader of yours blog.
got really moved by ur words
u r chosen from the trillion to
entertain the globe
shilpa dhondarikar -
it’s quite unbelievable that you can take up blogging within 12 days of your husband’s passing away. i don’t judge you for doing so but your courage and your thoughts, so clear thoughts, are quite unbelievable to me. someone who has 3.5 yr lil girl to look at and has entire future ahead without her soulmate; has a lot going on in her mind and soul and world, so it would seem to me.
hence your blogging seems pretty unbelievable and unrealistic to me. you must be an extraordinarily strong woman. to my belief someone in your situation won’t remember their own address but you still remember the blog and its address. very very unbelievable. not trying to judge you again, but this entire blog writing within 12 days seems very suspicious to my cynical mind.

Anand Khare at 303
I’m so sorry I think you misunderstood my meaning.
I would not DARE to strike a comparison with Barkha to even be jealous and I wholeheartedly disagree with your overly generous words.
My meaning was, that some months ago I had watched an old interview on NDTV from 2007, wherein I thought Barkha was too abrasive and intrusive with Mr Bachchan in her ‘methods’ of questioning.
The aggressive interrogation and repeated attempts to goad him into speaking on matters he was uncomfortable with and clearly wished to withhold, were befitting for an MP or a politician and this is what I had objected to. It made me uncomfortable to watch it!
But I agree with Mr Bachchan, she IS intelligent and quick witted and these traits can often be misconstrued as being brusque.
Thank you so much for your thoughts all the same and for reading.
Best regards
Jasmine
shilpa dhondarikar..my dear sweet girl..
I know exactly how you feel and the trauma you are enduring..I too had kept my husbands ashes in cupboard in a container for many months. And it is true..it is last physical connection..and very difficult to let go of. Let no one tell you any different. I remember vividly all of the details..everything down to the most minute. My daughter was 18 then..but no matter where in time we are grief is grief. Yes..and the loneliness is like a shroud we wear that no one can see.
But we are here for you..I am anyways..I will even be so bold as to post my email address: mammi_bear@hotmail.com
Please feel free to talk anytime you wish to.
आदरणीय श्री
सादर नमस्कार
गत २८.०२.०८ का आपका पत्र मिला था.
मेरा सौभाग्य,पूज्य बाबूजी का अपार स्नेह और आशीर्वाद मुझे प्राप्त हुआ और वर्षों बाद आपके पत्र से भी उसी आत्मीयता की अनुभूति हुई.
इस वर्ष उनकी १०२ वीं जयंती के अवसर पर उनके साथ जुड़ी हुई स्मृतियों को आपके साथ बाँटते हुए मुझे बेहद ख़ुशी हो रही है. १९८२ में मेरे पहले कविता संग्रह “प्राणों के साज पर” की भूमिका उन्होंने लिखी थी. उनके मार्गदर्शन में गीत-गजलों की मेरी अन्य तीन पुस्तकें “अन्तर्बोध”, “श्रृंखला के खंड” एवं “अनुभूति दंश” प्रकाशित हुईं. १९८३ से ९० के बीच उनके साथ लगातार संपर्क बना रहा. इस दौरान उन्होने जो ३८ पत्र मेरे पास लिखे आज देखता हूं तो पत्रों का यह संग्रह एक किताब की तरह नजर आता है. मेरे जीवन की अमूल्य निधि होने के साथ-साथ इन पत्रों ने इस जीवन की दिशा तय करने में भी निर्णायक भूमिका निभाई. एक मौका था जब १८ फरवरी ०५ को उन पत्रों की कॉपी मैंने आदरणीया जयाजी को भेंट की थी. वे चुनाव प्रचार के दौरान यहाँ रक्सौल आई थीं.
१९८५ में B.Sc. (Hons) के बाद मैं फिल्मों के लिए लिखना चाहता था. फिल्म रायटर्स ऐशोसिऐशन की सदस्यता मिली थी, बी.आर. चोपड़ा साहब का निमंत्रण भी मेरे पास था.ये बातें मैंने बाबूजी को दिल्ली में बताई लेकिन उनकी स्पष्ट राय थी कि लेखन को कैरिअर न बनाकर मुझे आगे उच्च शिक्षा का लक्ष्य करना चाहिए. विज्ञान के क्षेत्र में सफलता प्राप्त करने के बाद साहित्य का प्रयोग फिल्मों के लिए उचित होगा और तब लेखक के रूप में पहचान भी ज्यादा प्रभावशाली होगी.
उनके निर्देश को अपना संकल्प बनाकर मैंने M.Sc. (Physics) में विश्वविद्यालय में प्रथम स्थान प्राप्त किया. Ph.D. की. Universal Equation के रूप में मेरे रिसर्च को अंतरराष्ट्रीय मान्यता प्राप्त हुई. त्रिभुवन विश्वविद्यालय में फिजिक्स के प्राध्यापक के रूप में कार्यरत रहा. लेकिन इस पूरे सफ़र में अपने लेखन को समृद्ध करने की कोशिश में भी जुटा रहा. मैंने कहानियों पर काम किया, अलग अलग सिचुअशन पर गीत-गजल लिखे. जिस भी अहसास ने दिल की गहराइयों को छूआ उसे कहानियों में, गीत-गजलों में ढालने की कोशिश करता रहा.
पूज्य बाबूजी की वृहत साहित्य श्रृंखला में उनके इन ३८ पत्रों की कड़ियां भी जुड़ें, जनमानस इन अभिव्यक्तियों से भी परिचित हों, इस दृष्टि से इन पत्रों को पुस्तक रूप में प्रकाशित करना आवश्यक लगता है. साथ ही इन पत्रों की मेरे जीवन में भूमिका, हिंदी साहित्य में उनका महत्व, उनमें निहित नए रचनाकारों के लिए सन्देश तथा ऐसे सन्दर्भ भी इस पुस्तक में शामिल होंगे जो उनके व्यक्तित्व के अलग-अलग आयाम को रेखांकित करते हैं. चाहता हूँ कि इस संग्रह में आपके दो शब्द सम्मिलित हों और फिर इसका लोकार्पण आपके हाथों हो. क्या यह संभव है!
आपके निर्देश के अनुसार इन पत्रों की कॉपी आपके पास भेजूंगा. आप देखेंगे, उन पत्रों में आपका जिक्र आता रहा है जो हमेशा से आपके साथ मेरा एक भावनात्मक सम्बन्ध जोड़ता है.
आदरणीया जयाजी को नमस्कार. अभिषेक एवं ऐश्वर्या को शुभकामनाएं.
नव वर्ष की समस्त शुभेक्षाओं के साथ.
सादर आपका
स्वयंभू शलभ

# 237 - Daksha,
Thank you for your response.
I completely share your point of view. This was exactly my thought whilst watching this programme. Where are the men in these situations. I say ‘ men ‘ rather loosely.
Women are left to defend themselves but moreover so are the children. Mother’s have to go out and work and leave their children alone. It’s a shocking but a common reality to many millions in not just India but throughout the developing world. Even in developed nations this is a reality. Domestic violence, alcohol abuse and money issue are often the cause of destruction of the family unit.
I am appalled that this was the reality in India. The various charities, largely run by women, well only run by women is also a reality.
I think you summed it up rather well, the shanty towns of India may operate blissfully and in harmony that is actually a hell.
Love always,
Manish Parmar, UK.
Nice to see those Youtube links (courtesy Satyam) and thanks for that. As far as your stance here and the clarifiction, you are perfectly right. There is nothing political and purely a business descision as you righlty clarified . No point in getting emotional and getting historical about it and I think you repaid the rebates back by offering to promote Gujrat……
Dear Amitji,
I am writing first time but mostly I scan your blog.
few words to let you know “how good you are”.
For going to Australia you wanted a poll and decided not to go.You judged that they are racist and doing harm to Indians but for your benefit as it is your home production, for making money..only one line i can say “Kisi ko Bhi baap bana denge,bhai bana denge” and you will justify yourself on and on.
The surprising element today was Jasmine .As per me she is your biggest fan.
i thought she was following you blindly but even she realized, out of so much love , is it really you “Amitabh Bachchan “or is it her illusion as a fan.
At the end of the day a fan is also a human being and they have mind of their own.
Although you have nothing to do with Politics but you are good at being politically correct.
Best Regards
Inder

i don’t know whether you have noticed all those traits in dogs you have jotted down but my own experience confirms everything.
we had two dogs –diana and devil–even the regulars like postmen would not dare to deliver post at our door step. they used to shout from safe distance.
diana was more intelligent–as as is the case with most of the females—-she was very fond of veg briyani and would not stop barking till a plateful of her favourite dish was placed before her.she very cleverly used to open a pod of peas and remove peas therefrom . devil was ”mawaali” type. he often broke his strong chains and Lo! all children will run for their life on seeing him unchained.
thanks ramanathanji for great write up on dogs–the most faithful animal.
Dear Shilpa, just realized what a big loss you and your daughter have suffered. Please accept our deepest condolences. No one understands why this type of tragedy occurs. There are no words to console you or your daughter, but I can say one thing that prayers help you bear the loss and makes you stronger. Also time is the healing factor. Pranams.
Mr. Bachchan,
I couldn’t have narrate all of it any better than you have!
Lots of COOKIES for you! Enjoy!

Dear Amitji,
Wow…what a hectic day you’ve had..! Its amazing to read how much you have covered in a single day…incredible,,,my heart seems to beat at a faster pace just reading today’s blog.
Agree with your analysis of promoting Gujarat or any other state…if the CM or dignitary of a state, be it Mr. Narendra Modi or anyone else, you should accept it as you have done, as long as it matches with your interest and desire to promote our country, tourism, and history. What you are doing is very noble indeed and don’t see a reason why it should be questioned.
Have a good day.
Best regards,
Krishna
hiii…god bless u always
Dearest Mr.Apolitical,yeh kaun si politics hai aapki.offcourse the benefits of meeting these ministers were professional and i think nothing more than this,why people always ask questions/clarifications/reasons/answers from you…they will never leave you.reminds me of CULT song sung by band of yeasteryears POLICE………………………………………………….
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, they will be watching you
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake Every claim you stake, they will be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, they will be watching you
I don’t believe that you are apolitical altogather rather than multipolitical .the big hug to navya and agastya was a big boost for the upcoming exams and a quick meet to shewta really revitalises you.and by the way you got lucky with the weather as i heard people were stranded in the airplane at the tarmac for 3 hours in the morning.very very lucky as you value time ,time favoured you.sleep well dream well and do remember us .peele nahin to neele de do line to line hai na.love and love vikas
Hi buddy I’m back again!Read and chewed on each post.They are a regular lesson for life;you are educating many of us.
Will be leaving for SAM, Jaisalmer soon.
Love you.

What a lovely thing to say, Ramanathan…I am glad you liked my quotes on
‘Father” yesterday. I must admit…I had an edge…I had the greatest, kindest, most loving, forgiving, precious Daddy on Earth…and He worshipped the ground I walked on. He remembered everything I ever said, when I didn’t even remember saying it…The look in His eyes, when He looked at me was worth more than all the material things in this world combined…It was easy to share my quotes…the hard part? Letting Him go…on May 22nd, 1991.

Dear Zainab, Kashmira my fond love to you too.
Mr. Ramanathan I just happen to read ur Doggie story and agree with you a million times over; if there’s anyone I love in the animal kingdom its a dog dog dog all the time ,forever.They r the most loving and faithful creatures of this universe I’d say, much more than humans, without a doubt.
Thanks, that made great reading indeed.
dear deepa,
your apprehensions are right. even i dont know how i am doing it at this point of time. but as i dont have much people around me i feel the need to connect to people to share my thoughts with someone and get assured that i am not alone.
will catch up on u later.

DEAREST SIR AMITJI,
HOPE ALL’S SUPER PERFECT AND U GETTING SOME REST TOO WITH YOUR HECTIC SCHEDULES.. PARDON ME SIR FOR NOT WRITING IN FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW, I DO FEEL GUILTY, WHATEVER OCCUPIED ME, I COULD MAKE TIME.. AND TODAY’S QUESTION IS TOO BRILLIANT TO BE A FOOL TO IGNORE IT!
CONSCIENCE OR CHARACTER.. WAAH! THAT WHAT GOES INTO KEEPING THE OTHER STAID, COULD ONLY COME OUT OF A GENIUS’S MIND..!
SO FIRSTLY A GREAT THANK U , FOR SWITCHING ON THIS INTERESTING TUBE LIGHT WITHIN US! NOW IF THE LITTLE ME MAY SPEAK,
I THINK SIR, THE CHARACTER IS THE SPINE & THE CONSCIENCE THE HEART OF A MAN, AND HE CANNOT STAND STRAIGHT, IF EITHER IS NOT WORKING FULLY WELL.
SIR WAS ALSO KEEN TO KNOW, WHETHER DILIPSAAB HAS SEEN THE BEAUTIFUL & MIND BLOWINGLY PERFORMED PAA’ & WHAT DID HE THINK OF IT!
IT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTING & HEARTENING TO READ THE GRAND MASTERS THOUGHTS & COMMENTS ON THE WORK OF, THE HEAD MASTER OF THE SCHOOL.
LOVE & PRAYERS,
BHISHAM MANSUKHANI
Bachchan Sahib I totally understand that you went to Gujarat to get the tax exemption and in return they asked you to promote the state. Your visit was purely a business visit. Mr Modi may have accomplished a lot for his state and one of them being the 6 lane roads that you noticed.
I want to draw your attention to one famous case Roman Polanski a very famous film directory he committed sexual assault of 13 year old girl way back in 1977 but since he achieved so much for himself and for the film industry does that make him a clean man. Did law not catch up with him.
So my question, by developing a state do you think Mr Modi has got all his sins wiped off, the major one being the mass killing of muslims.
Bachchan Sahib a criminal is a criminal no matter how generous he is and It does not suite a person of your stature to even meet people like these.
Justice will prevail and he will be proven guilty by the law.
sir, i admire you. i am a journalist by prof.
Dear Sir,
Just wrote a blog on you and your success….. had few questions in mind. Would appreciate if you can visit the blog and read it & if possible answer my question. i have given link herewith for your ready reference :

Dear Amitji,

We were, we are & we will LOVE you.

Amitji,In this selfish and diplometic world,where everyone try to keep his relation and work by saving his own skin ,you are doing very good job.It seems that every assignment you took for the sake of nation’s support is criticised in some manner.It is just frustation of cheap people and can’t controlled by any means.Your Bisy schedule always kept you away from some necessary spritual feeling and thinking.
Hello amitji……..God bless you,,,,.
good evening paa i think aap ko acha nahi laga mera paa bolna . so sorry for that aap ke pass bhaut se mere jaise falto fans hai aap kis kis ka jawab denge.
aap ne 18 ko post kiya tha aap aaj bhaut akela feel kar rahe hai par please aap next time se asa mat khana.aap ke pass duniya ki sab se achi biwi hai sab se acha beta hai aur sab se achi beti hai aur sab se achi bahu so please dont feel lonely aur fir hum log sub bhi to hai. luv you paa.aur asha karti hon ek din aap se jaror milongi mere marne se pahle. bye take care and best of luck for abhi for his new show hope it will be great show.
My sentiments echo that of Satyam, I am sorry Mr. Bachan, as far as I am concerned you sold your soul, as an Actor you are one of the best India has produced, its time you prove yourself beyond it, what are your stands? what do you belive in? you are guilty by association, saying you are apolitical is a cowards way out, you did refuse an Australian award, didnt you? what were your reasons for doing so? they were noble werent they? you say let the courts decide, in other words you would hang out with Dawood Ibrahim till the courts deem him guilty? your explanation is not logical… there is that grey area and then there are hard facts, I dont thing an intelligent Man like yourself would wait for the courts to tell you what is right and wrong… I am disappointed in you.

CRIMINAL COMPLAINT UNDER SECTION 190 OF Cr.P.C. AGAINST THE ACCUSEDS ABOVANAMED REGARDING COMMISSION OF OFFENCES BY THEM UNDER SECTION 63 OF THE COPYRIGHT ACT 1957 READ WITH RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACT 2000 AND INDIAN PENAL CODE INCLUDING SECTION 465, 468, 469, 511, 120, 120B AND 34 IPC
Respectfully showeth :
1. That the Complainant is a poet and literateur and writer of literary poems, songs, satires, articles etc. The poems and satires written by him have been published in and admired and appreciated by various leading magazines and newspapers which have wide circulation throughout India like Hindustan Times, Navbharat Times, Rashtriya Sahara, Dainik Jagran, Tribune, Jansatta, Vir Arjun, etc. He has his own Blog with the internet address as http://dushantkumarchaturvedi.blogspot.com which is seen and frequented by literature lovers throughout the world. He has read poems and satires at more than 100 forums in Delhi and outside Delhi in last 12 years. He has also participated and read poems in famous programmes on TV channels like ‘Kaviyon Ki Chaupal’ on Sadhna Channel, ‘India Live’ on Jain TV several times. He is one of the major contributor of hasya kavita in the famous book “Hanste Reh Jaoge”. He also has to his credit various awards and accolades. He has been conferred with the honor of ‘Sahityashri Award’. He is the member of prestigious institutions in the field of literature like Akhil Bhartiya Sahitya Parishad (Regd.), Jai Bharti Sahitya Sangam (Regd.), Indraprastha Sahitya Bharti etc. In short, the Complainant is well known in the literature circles and is widely appreciated for his poems and satires.
2. That few years ago, the Complainant wrote a poem / song titled “Jan Gan Man ki vyatha”. This poem on one hand expressed the story and pain of the national anthem, and on the other hand, depicted the economical, social and political environment in the country. It was basically an awakening song (Jagran Geet) dedicated to the country and countrymen and expressed the spirit of national anthem, the problems being faced by our nation and their solutions. Apart from reading the said poem-cum-song at various forums and stages and in TV programs, the Complainant also published and posted the same on his blog on 2nd December 2007. The said website is very popular and is visited by thousands and millions of people worldwide. A copy of the print out of complainant’s song-cum-poem is annexed with this complaint.
3. That many admirers and fans of the Complainant read and heard the said poem-cum-song written by the Complainant and appreciated the same.
4. That around 17th December 2009, when the Complainant was browsing the internet and chanced upon the website ‘youtube’, he was shocked and surprised to find that the song ‘Jan Gan Man Rann Hai’ from the film “Rann” being made by the accuseds has striking similarity with the words, essence and spirit of said poem-cum-song written by the Complainant. If the song written by the Complainant is dissected in paragraphs and the song in the accused’s said film is dissected in particular manner and if both are then read minutely and compared simultaneously paragraph against paragraph, it is not difficult to find that the lyrics and words in the accused’s song are completely inspired by and are taken from the song written by the Complainant. At some places, even the words are identically used in the accused’s said song and at some places, some different words are used deliberately but conveying the same meaning. A comparative chart showing and making comparison of the paragraphs from complainant’s song on one side and from accused’s song on other side is annexed with this complaint. The contents of the said annexure may be read as having been incorporated in this complaint.
5. That the complainant is very much pained to see that the accuseds have not only distorted the complainant’s song but have also introduced negativity in the song.
6. That not only the accused’s song, even the concerned scenes in the song in the film depict/convey the script/message of the Complainant’s song. The complainant’s work has been converted into cinematographic work by the accuseds without complainant’s consent.
7. That a simultaneous reading / listening of the paragraphs of both the songs makes it obvious to any listener that the accused’s song has taken into consideration the song written by the Complainant. The substantial similarity in the two songs is not incidental or mere co-incidence but is intentional. The song in the accused’s forthcoming movie ‘Rann’ is based on the Complainant’s song which is a culmination of the Complainant’s original thoughts, opinions, ideas and labour.
8. That from the above, it is clear the accuseds addressee no.2, stated to be the writer of this song in the film, has lifted the song in the movie from the poem-cum-song written by the complainant and available on the internet on his blog or from websites like ‘Orkut’ where he posted this poem-cum-song. The accuseds have copied the accused’s song from the Complainant’s song by twisting and modifying the words / language. The accuseds have adopted the Complainant’s work with colorable imitations. The accused’s song is a colorable imitation of the Complainant’s work. The said song in the movie ‘Rann’ is not the product of any skill or labour on the part of its alleged writer i.e. addressee no.2. On examining the two works i.e. complainant’s work and accused’s work and comparing the same in detail and minutely, it is clear that the accused’s work is an attempt on their part to copy complainant’s work.
9. That as per Section 17 of Copyright Act 1957, the author of a work is the first owner of the copyright therein. Since the song, which is a literary piece of work, was originally written by the complainant and he is the author of said song, he alone has the copyright therein. As per Section 13, the copyright subsist in original and literary work. In view of Section 14, only the complainant has the exclusive right to reproduce his song in any material form or to make any cinematographic film or sound recording of the said song or to make any adaptation thereof and the accuseds have no right to modify or alter the complainant’s song. In view of Section 51, the copyright in complainant’s song has been infringed by the accuseds as they have adapted / modified / reproduced with modifications the complainant’s song and have made commercial exploitation of the same, without any license or authorization from the complainant.
10. The accuseds have thus infringed the copyright of the Complainant in his poem-cum-song which is the Complainant’s original literary and artistic work. The accuseds have no right to use or avail of the labour and efforts put in by the Complainant in producing his song. The accuseds have no right to take away the result of the Complainant’s labour and skill, or in other words, his property. Section 63 of the Copyright Act describes the infringement or abetting of infringement of the copyright in a work as an offence. Since the accuseds have knowingly infringed and/or abetted the infringement of copyright of complainant in his song, the accuseds are guilty of the infringement of copyright of the Complainant and are thus liable to be prosecuted under Section 63 of Copyright Act. The accuseds have knowingly infringed the complainant’s copyright in the work and also the right to keep the work free from any distortion, mutilation or other modification.
11. That the song-cum-poem developed and evolved by the complainant is the result of the work done by the complainant upon material which may be available for use of anybody but what makes it confidential is the fact that the complainant has used his brain and thus produced a result in the shape of a song and if accuseds are allowed to show their own song and film based on the song / concept originally conceived by the complainant, it will be allowing the accuseds to use that concept and to reap the fruits of the labour of the plaintiff.
12. That the fundamental idea of violation of copyright or imitation is the violation of the eighth commandant : “Thou shalt not steal”, which makes the moral basis of the protective provisions of the Copyright Act. It is obvious that when a writer produces a poem or song, it is the result of his great labour, energy, time and ability and if any other person is allowed to appropriate the labour of the copyright work, his act amounts to theft by depriving the original owner of the copyright of the product of his labour. The object under Copyright Act is to protect commercial value of the productive effort of the individual’s mind and is intended to protect all intellectual property capable of extensive reproduction. The main aim of Copyright law is to secure a fair return to an author for his creative labour.
13. That under the Copyright Act, the registration of the copyright by the author thereof is not compulsory. (Glaxo vs Samrat Pharma AIR 1984 Del 265).
14. That the accuseds all have caused wrongful gain to the accused’s self and wrongful loss to the Complainant. The accuseds have thus also committed offences punishable under various provisions of Copyright Act and Information Technology Act 2000 and the Indian Penal Code.
15. The accuseds no.1 is the Director of the film, the accuseds no.2 claims to be the writer of the song in the film. The accuseds no.3 and 4 are the Producers of this film. Since accused no.2 has been hired by accused no.1, 3 and 4 for composing the songs for their cinematographic film ‘Rann’, they are liable for the consequences of accused no.2’s work. It was in the accused’s knowledge that the said song in the accused’s film has copied the idea and the lyrics from the song of the complainant and despite this, the accuseds have never made any efforts to acknowledge the same in the media nor the accuseds have given due credit to the Complainant. The accuseds have used the said song without the Complainant’s consent. The copyright of the complainant has been infringed and injury has been caused to him in mind, property and reputation consciously by all of the accuseds acting together in conspiracy. The accuseds have been commercially exploiting the said song without even telling the Complainant. The accuseds have cashed in by means of this song by generating controversy and wide coverage and publicity on national print and electronic media and the internet and have earned money riding on the Complainant’s creation and intellect by saving millions on the publicity costs.
16. The accuseds are also liable to give rendition of accounts and to suitably compensate the Complainant apart from giving due credit to the Complainant for this song by acknowledging his copyright in this song by way of appropriate insertion in the movie. The complainant reserve his right to file appropriate proceedings against the accuseds for rendition of accounts and for damages and injunction.
17. The Complainant has come to know that the accused no.1 Mr. Ram Gopal Varma has been accused of violating copyright of other people also in the past in relation to the films and movies directed and/or produced by him. Some of these cases are Suit no.1892/2006 titled as “Sholay Media and Entertainment P. Ltd. vs Parag Sanghvi & others” in Delhi High Court (concerning movie ‘RGV Ki Aag’) and Suit No.324/2007 titled as “Kanungo Media (P) Ltd. vs RGV Film Factory & others” in Delhi High Court (concerning movie ‘Nishabd’).
18. The accuseds no. 1 to 4 are jointly and severally liable for the said act of copyright infringement and plagiarism and dishonest and deceitful lifting of song from the Complainant’s song.
19. That the Complainant gave the following complaints to the police, however, the police has failed to take any action till date :
(i) complaint on 21.12.2009 (vide Diary no.LC-296) to the Police Station Mianwali Nagar
(ii) complaint dated 4.1.2010 (received on 4.1.2010 vide Dy.No.D-44) to Addl. Commissioner, Economic offences Wing, Delhi Police
(iii) complaint dated 4.1.2010 (received on 6.1.2010 to Commissioner, Delhi Police
(iv) complaint dated 6.1.2010 (received on 6.1.2010) to Dy.Commissioner, West, Delhi Police
The copies of the said complaints are annexed collectively with this complaint.
20. That the complainant was constrained to send a legal notice dated 6.1.2010 to all the accuseds on 7.1.2010 by registered AD post. The said notice was duly served upon the accuseds (AD card has been received from accused no.3 duly received and the envelops have not been received back undelivered from remaining accuseds till date) but they did not respond to the same till date. This shows that they have no defence and confirms the commission of aforesaid offences by them. Infact, the legal notice was also pasted on the blog of accused no.1 (at rgvzoomin.com) and also at official website of ‘Rann’ movie (at rannmovie.com) on the same day. On 7th January 2010, the trailer of infringing song was being played on the said website but after receiving the notice, the infringing song has been deliberately blocked at said site by the accuseds. However, the infringing song is still being played on various sites including the website ‘youtube’.
21. The accuseds fraudulently, dishonestly and unauthorisedly used the song written by the complainant and posted as a document on his blog and other websites. They forged the said document by tampering with the lyrics / words in the said document and made a new document i.e. song as well as cinematographic composition, with the intention to use and project the same as their composition. The accuseds no.1 to 4 are thus liable to be punished under Section 465, Section 469 and Section 471 IPC also.
22. That the accuseds no. 1 to 4, by not being replying to the legal notice, and by acting in clandestine manner, have rendered their intentions illegal and unlawful and suspicious. There is a conspiracy between accuseds no.1, 2, 3 and 4 to deprive the complainant the fruits of his time, labour, energy and skills. The accuseds are thus also liable for the various offences under Sections 120 and Section 120B.
23. That without prejudice to the foregoing, at least there is an attempt on the part of all accused persons to commit the aforesaid offences and they are thus liable to be prosecuted under Section 511 IPC.
24. That the cause of action is continuing as the accuseds are continuing and abetting infringement of complainant’s copyright and deriving commercial advantage. The infringing song is still being played at the website “youtube” and other media.
25. That the complainant saw the infringing song on computer internet at his home in Paschim Vihar, the complaint was given inter-alia to SHO police station Paschim Vihar, the fraud and infringement of copyright and commission of various offences has been committed by the accuseds within the jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court and hence this Hon’ble Court has the jurisdiction to entertain and try this complaint.
26. That the complainant has been adversely and seriously affected by the actions and omissions of the accused no.1, 2, 3 and 4 and is entitled to be granted justice by this Hon’ble Court.
PRAYER :
It is therefore respectfully prayed that the SHO of police Station Paschim Vihar or incharge of Economic Offences Wing of Delhi Police may be directed to register case / FIR against accuseds no.1, 2, 3 and 4 for commission of offences by them under Section 63 of Copyright Act 1957 read with Sections 465, 468, 469 READ WITH SECTION 34, 120, 120B
AND SECTION 511 OF THE INDIAN PENAL CODE and other relevant provisions of law.
It is further prayed that adequate and reasonable compensation amounting to double the amount of part payment made may also be awarded in favour of the complainant against the accused under Section 357 of the Code of Criminal Procedure ( or any other relevant provision) at the time of conviction to meet the ends of justice.
Any other further order which this Hon’ble Court deems fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of this case may also be granted in favour of the complainant and against the accuseds/respondents, in the interests of justice.

URGENT APPLICATION
Respectfully showeth :
1. That the complainant has filed a substantive criminal complaint against the accuseds no. 1 to 4 regarding Commission Of Offences By Them Under Section 63 Of The Copyright Act 1957 Read With Relevant Provisions Of Information Technology Act 2000 And Indian Penal Code Including Section 465, 468, 469, 511 And 34 IPC.

2. That the matter is urgent in nature. The movie ‘Rann’, which contains the infringing song and the infringing piece of cinematography, is likely to be released on 29.1.2009, as per the information gathered from the promos of this film and film circles. If the movie is released, it would not only be perpetuating further illegality and continuation of offences but would also cause irreparable loss and injury to the complainant. If the matter is not taken up urgently and urgent directions are not issued to the police to register the FIR in the matter, the accused persons may allege at later stage and unnecessarily abuse the complainant of delaying the case to gain undue advantage just before release of movie. If matter is delayed, then the accuseds may also be inconvenienced. It would be most equitable if the matter is heard urgently.
PRAYER :
It is therefore respectfully prayed that the accompanying criminal complaint under Section 190 CrPc and accompanying application under Section 156(3) CrPC may kindfly be heard urgently, in the interests of justice.
Any other further order which this Hon’ble Court deems fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of this case may also be granted in favour of the complainant and against the accuseds/respondents, in the interests of justice.

If you are trying to distance yourself now from Mr Modi due to secular pressure, its really disgraceful on your part.
Modi is today’s angry young man’s hero. When India is under threat from several fronts, Modi is one man that can deliver. You have lost a fan, Mr Bachchan.

The words “right” and “wrong” are as good as “half glass full” or “half glass empty” ie two different ways to look at the same thing.
But the absolute definition of right or wrong is within our conscience and you can hear it only when your conscience is awake. The voice of the conscience is very powerful.
No body could tell King Ashoka that killing is a “wrong” deed…but when his conscience told him, he laid down the weapons and become a true human being. In indian mythology, Valmiki was a dacoit, but when his conscience told him that he was wrong, he became a saint.
So pleae listen to your conscience when you are unable to decide what is right and what is wrong.
Good night sir.

HI Amit Ji,
I just watched the interview at NDTV. I felt that logically what ever you said was correct and thats the best way you could have answered on a show facing the Nation. You havent said anything wrong and you have made your stance clear . Towards the end of the show you did tell about the Span of career you would have which i guess is true and a thought crossed across my mind which i felt should be conveyed to you . I request you to do a work in Malayalam, where I wish to see you with Mr Mammootty, Mr Mohan Lal and Mr Suresh Gopi. and a Bigger version where you would have a work done with Mr Rajanikanth (Even though you have done films with him earlier) and Mr Kamal Hassan. A film which is better than “Hum” (where all Big Stars From India Join to make a film that could be called an Indian Film )Life is short and its the work that we do that will speak for us later . I do believe if you have read what i have jotted down here then you would try to make it work. Inshaallha . Let the God Bless you .
Dear Sir,
I am writing after many months. Apologies for that. I just saw your interview with Barkha Dutt. For the first time I have a small contrarian view to what you said.
I felt that you were trying to avoid any questions pertaining to your very affable meeting with Mr Narendra Modi. I wonder wht that was? Mr modi, as you rightly said, is a representative of the people of Gujarat. He is the best CM of India. Why should you be apologetic about your very pleasant meeting with him? You should not flinch against the media diatribe. They have their vested interests and political agenda, whereas you have none at all.
Secondly, I feel that although you have been mistreated by the media most of your early career, recently they have started to throw a positive light on your work. So maybe you can remove some pre-existing bitterness from your heart and expect them to be a bit more unbiased in future?
I am your biggest fan and will always maintain that you are the biggest, most charismatic superstar and actor that India has seen.
Thanks and Regards
Prashant Sharma
Dear Amittabhji,
Very well reminder of the fact that Gujarat is a part of India..So all the anti-national elements in the name of Gujarat will demean the Gujarat (indirectly India)…..Great souls have to stand strong and face the Tide….
Regarding mass killings which some people do write about i would remind them that because of integrity in Gujarat no one has been killed in the name of Language (Like Maharashtra) in the name of region(Like Andhra Prashesh) in the name caste(Like Bihar) in the name of Naxals (Almost all states of country except Gujarat) and also because of schemes like Cheeranjivi in Gujarat lives of more than thousands of women and their child in womb has been saved….Why don’t people take this into picture?
All because they just want to demean India, by showing all negative things. That’s it!

Dear Sir,
You’re absolutely right in your decision on promoting a state’s tourism if you’re being asked by the authorities to do it. It DOES NOT show any political angle!
You have been a confirmed apolitical person for a long time now, and your secular credentials are also intact! Let the naysayers say whatever they’re saying, for whatever they say, they say it with an intention of creating a controversy and increasing their TRPs!
This way, if RGV is showing some clips to the media, and the media gets all hyper by seeing their naked & starker side, its only a tit-for-tat situation! The media is getting what they have always been giving! Why get hyper now???
After the brilliant PAA, I believe RANN would be another milestone movie in Indan cinemas! And it makes a very proud that we are fans of the legend who is associated with such brilliant cinema! keep it up, Sir!
With love & regards,
Rajesh Kejriwal

[...] Amitabh Bachchan hits back So the questions come, on my recent visit and meeting with Mr Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat and my association with this allegedly controversial politician. My offer to promote the state of Gujarat through publicity commercials that could garner more tourism for it, is welcomed and the administration shall come over to work out what and how the modalities could be executed. The grilling questions on this matter continue though….I am surprised by this analysis and wonder what kind of people there are that would think of my visit in such adverse manner. I have come to the Chief Minister of Gujarat to seek tax exemption for my film, permissions for which are sanctioned by him and his office. I am going to meet the democratically elected member of a constituent assembly of the country as stipulated by the Constitution, because he is the power that shall grant those facilities. Mr Modi does not own Gujarat. Gujarat belongs to the country. Mr Modi is the elected member by the people, to run the State. Where else and how else do I seek exemption and from who ? Meeting Mr Modi does not make me, a confirmed apolitical person, a rightist. Neither does it make me an endorser of his alleged accusations. Let the courts and the system conclude or pass judgement on it. And, if I see wide 6 lane roads and development and greenery, what is the harm in acknowledging it… Ha ! Come on … guys … think of something more original !… If Mr Modi asks me to promote Tourism in his State, I would happily do it, because it promotes the State and thereby the country. I do not see any wrong in that…(for full text click here) [...]

Mr. Bachchan, one simple question. You used Mr or Ms while addressing all politicians in your post but for ex-CM of Punjab you did’t. Any particular reason? An alternative could be S. Amrinder Singh!
Mr Bachchan,
Thanks and kudos to you for standing firm, tall and answering the so called media, what really matters in this country.
They are blind and deaf too, albeit, selectively- to see and hear what they want to.
Somebody has questioned here in comment too, that, are u siding Modi because he gave you tax-exemtion!! wow!!! what a hypothesis the man must have.Anyway, Jungal ka raja apni masti me raheta hai, chote mote janwar uske ird gird bhi nahi aate….You are real king of India.
Dear Mr Bachchan,
I am but one of your many admirers, your good work and self. Have been reading about your interesting blogs & site that seemingly tickles noses ever so often. Always planned to come see for myself but the thought kept slipping my mind. Until last night which got me very curious, so here I am poking my nose. It was your Faceoff interview with Zoom that got my attention. I found it to be an extremely open minded and relaxed win - win chat, in your manner. To me its essence in media etiquette & purpose much related to regular life. How cool was that, I thought. An excellent idea in the run up to the release of ” Rann ” too. Love the promos & will watch. Had to come tell you this personally. All for now. A pleasant day to you Sir.
खून मुसलमानों का है, ये लाल रंग की है हाला,
न्यायलय है पॉकेट में मेरे, न्यायधीश पीनेवाला,
टैक्स फ्री करवा दूं तेरी फ़िल्में जितनी बार बने,
पूंजीवाद का प्याला है ये बच्चन मोदी मधुशाला ||
प्रियतम, तू मेरी हाला है, मैं तेरा प्यासा प्याला,
अपने को मुझमें भरकर तू बनता है पीनेवाला,
मैं तुझको छक छलका करता, मस्त मुझे पी तू होता,
एक दूसरे की हम दोनों आज परस्पर मधुशाला ||
I have acquired two rescue dogs that were abandoned by their former owners. They are the loveliest creatures I have ever experienced. It is painful how some people treat animals like belongings or worse. My hope is that more people will get learned about this issue.
Thankyou for the excellent blog post.
