Mumbai, Aug 20 (NationPress) The iconic Amitabh Bachchan emphasizes that maintaining a strong commitment to a singular goal is essential for reaching one's ultimate destination, advising against the numerous paths that others may propose.
In his latest blog entry, Big B expressed: “Never take never granted for granted (sic).
The celebrated actor recited a poem from his esteemed father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, titled "Madhushala", which articulates that throughout life's journey, various individuals may present conflicting routes.
With this, Big B advocates for a dedicated focus, tenacity, and the importance of not succumbing to distractions from an array of choices.
He remarked: “Pandering to authority right .. in the right sense; but often people find themselves, in these conditions sitting on the fence .. for the right…”
“Alag alag path batate sab, par main yeh batlaya hun; raah pakad tu ek chala chal pa jaayega Madhushala… There exists but one route to your final goal — continue moving forward and you shall arrive. (sic).
The legendary star is currently hosting the latest season of the quiz show “Kaun Banega Crorepati.” On August 15, he revealed the emotional challenges he faces when contestants do not succeed.
“We sit on the hot seat and meet and confront the contestants that have ambitious hopes of winning during the week of their stay on the floor ... and when they cannot make it, it's the hardest to control the frustration of defeat and lost opportunity for them, yes. (sic.)”
He continued, “But for me as well .. it is emotionally shattering to (see) their tears swell up as they find the week over, the Hooter played and the need to come and play, for whatever personal reasons, goes missing (sic.)”
Bachchan believes that while he strives to console them, witnessing the loss of a life-changing opportunity is truly heartbreaking.
“No amount of consolation at the time can give them solace and understanding .. The need for some is crucial, the opportunity for some who have sacrificed their study or job opportunities to be at the FF and then the main chair to play and WIN, lost .. difficult to face such moments ..(sic.)”
“But what can be done .. a smile of 'try again' .. a word of encouragement that all shall be fine... loss is not the end of life .. its a learning and adheres to: Mann ka ho to acha; na ho toh zyada acha.(sic.)”
“But few subscribe to this and that is heartbreaking… but as they say the show goes on .. you come away thinking of not the winner and his expertise and knowledge, but the one that tried and lost .. life is a tough job ..(sic.)”
