Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan has been grappling with a mix of emotions in recent days. In a heartfelt entry on his Tumblr blog, he expressed the lingering sadness that still resonates within him. Amitabh, who recently paid tribute to his Sholay co-star Dharmendra, found it difficult to shake off the 'images and feelings' of the past few days. His emotional state was compounded by the recent passing of time, as November 27 marked the birth anniversary of his father, the late Harivansh Rai Bachchan. In a poignant reflection, Amitabh wrote about the conflicting demands of his profession. 'The show must go on,' he said, quoting an unknown source. However, this mantra rings hollow for those who bear the weight of sadness and grief. On a more uplifting note, Amitabh's Kaun Banega Crorepati team took him out for a well-deserved dinner at a fine South Indian restaurant. Despite the delicious food and company, Amitabh's heart remained heavy with sorrow, especially since none of his colleagues were aware that it was his father's birth anniversary. In a previous episode of KBC 13, Amitabh had shared a moving account of his parents' marriage, which was initially opposed by their families due to caste differences. Their love eventually prevailed, and Amitabh's father chose to give them the surname Bachchan to break free from the constraints of their respective castes. Amitabh was last seen in the sci-fi drama Kalki 2898 AD, where he delivered a standout performance as Ashwatthama. The film's massive success, grossing over ₹1,000 crore worldwide, was a testament to the actor's enduring appeal. As he continues to navigate the highs and lows of his career, Amitabh's commitment to his craft remains unwavering.
