Mumbai, Aug 20 (NationPress) The esteemed Amitabh Bachchan emphasizes that maintaining dedication to a singular path is essential for achieving your ultimate goal, advising against the numerous routes proposed by others.
The legendary actor shared on his blog: “Never take never granted for granted (sic).”
He recited a poem titled "Madhushala" by his revered poet father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, which conveys the message that throughout life's journey, various individuals may present differing and often contradictory paths.
Through this reflection, Big B advocates for unwavering focus, determination, and the importance of avoiding distractions from the plethora of choices available.
He noted: “While it’s important to respect authority, many find themselves indecisive amidst the choices presented to them.”
“Alag alag path batate sab, par main yeh batlaya hun; raah pakad tu ek chala chal pa jaaayega Madhushala… there is but one path to your final destination. Stay the course, and you shall arrive. (sic.)”
Currently, the thespian is presenting the latest season of the quiz show “Kaun Banega Crorepati.” On August 15, he expressed how challenging it is to witness the emotional distress of contestants who do not succeed in the game.
“We sit on the hot seat and engage with contestants who come with high hopes during their week here. When they are unable to succeed, it’s incredibly hard to manage the frustration of lost opportunities for them, yes. (sic.)”
“It’s emotionally devastating for me too, to see their tears swell as they realize their time is up, the Hooter sounds, and their chance to play for personal reasons is gone. (sic.)”
He believes that while he attempts to comfort them, the loss of a potentially life-altering opportunity is indeed heartbreaking.
“No amount of consolation can provide immediate relief or understanding. The need for some is critical, as they may have sacrificed education or job opportunities to participate and then face loss… it’s tough to endure such moments. (sic.)”
“But what can we do? A smile of ‘try again’… a word of encouragement that all will be well… loss isn’t the end of life; it’s a lesson that adheres to: Mann ka ho to acha; na ho toh zyada acha. (sic.)”
“However, not everyone subscribes to this philosophy, which is disheartening… but as they say, the show must go on. You leave pondering not about the winner and their skills, but about those who tried and fell short. Life is indeed a challenging endeavor. (sic.)”
