Mumbai, Sep 20 (NationPress) Iconic actor Amitabh Bachchan has shared insights on the evolving nature of appreciation through the ages, highlighting the significance of valuing applause.
Amitabh recently posted on his blog, featuring a snapshot from the filming of his quiz show “Kaun Banega Crorepati.” The image captures the live audience as they honor the film legend with a standing ovation while he acknowledges them with a wave.
He expressed: “Ye taaliyan ki goonj humein jeevit rakhti hai, inhe kabhi bhi bhoolna nahi chahiye!” (These echoes of claps keep us alive; they must never be forgotten).
Reflecting on the shift in generational values, he noted: “The young have their own standards of belief and praise and dislike... the elders have a connection with what has passed… What the next Gen will do is a mystery… And it should be.”
As a passionate blogger, the thespian consistently updates his fans, whom he affectionately calls his extended family or EF.
In a recent entry, he discussed the essence of simplicity, satisfaction, and the genuine lessons in life. He emphasized that true wealth is not found in extravagance but in the values instilled in the next generation.
He shared a thought on his blog about how each day imparts a new lesson, emphasizing simplicity, contentment, and the realization that material wealth is insignificant in the grand narrative of life.
Big B articulated: “Each day a learning... a learning of the simplicity of life and living... of the attitude of satisfaction... of the adverse resentment in a way of luxury and high-end living - for at the end of life, nothing goes along with you.”
He continued: “What one leaves behind is a learning... a learning passed on to the generation that you have brought into this World... for they shall be the true bearers of your living life.”
Reflecting on this experience, the thespian remarked: “Privileged I am with the affection that pours out during the stay at the crease of the SHOW... for that is the truest learning... the true giver of an inspiration that no 'thinker' or 'philosopher' shall enumerate... try it... and be alive to it... there is no greater force than that which you carry within... unknown, perhaps... but relevant at its time of relevance.”
