Amitabh Bachchan fans got bad news earlier in the week when media reports said that the superstar had suffered a rib injury while shooting for his upcoming film ‘Project K’.
Now, the veteran actor has put fears to rest with a blog post revealing that he was fine, but was feeling glum because the actor had to miss out on Holi celebrations due to his recovery:
“Languishing in the environs of the home and the prevention from all kinds of physical activity .. the inability to partake in the festivities of the day .. and the gaiety of Holi that was celebrated with such vigour and in such fine fettle , has gone amiss .. has been so for years now ..
The open house .. the celebratory welcome to all .. the hundreds that drenched themselves with music and dance and camaraderie .. starting early in the day and in a never ending mode till the dawn of the next ..
those times may never come again .. I hope they do .. but it looks difficult .. at least for the present ..”
Bachchan also wrote that in gloominess, he had turned to poetry written by his late father and poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, who had written a letter to a fan when they had showered him with praises about his work.
“When in time and in the time of contemplation .. get back to the words of Babuji .. and pick those gems those elements that reflect his mind .. as in the ☝🏽 above ..
In the response to a letter written to him , there is talk of one of his poems ‘jeevan ke pahiye ke neeche’ .. under the wheels of life ..
he expresses his gratitude to the correspondent for the appreciation he gave for the poem , and then expresses a gem :
‘tell me what the mistakes and dislikes of my work are .. tell others of the ‘khoobiyaan’ खूबियाँ , the brilliance and the good of my work .. ‘
then another comes :
‘they that call me Maha Kavi .. the greatest Poet ..महाकवि , the great the best .. i feel they be sarcastic towards me .. what evil have I done to be given sarcastic reference’”
