Why Does Big B Urge Us to Never Take 'Never' for Granted?

Mumbai, Aug 20 (NationPress) Renowned megastar Amitabh Bachchan emphasizes the importance of remaining dedicated to a singular path as the most effective route to achieving your ultimate goals, advising against the numerous alternative routes that others may propose.

In his latest blog post, he declared: “Never take never granted for granted (sic).”

The cinematic legend shared a verse from his celebrated father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s poem “Madhushala,” which conveys that throughout life's journey, various individuals will present different and often contradictory paths.

Through this reflection, Big B advocates for unwavering focus, persistence, and the avoidance of distractions from the myriad of choices available.

He elaborated: “Pandering to authority in the right manner is essential; however, many find themselves indecisive, caught in a dilemma.”

“Alag alag path batate sab, par main yeh batlaya hun; raah pakad tu ek chala chal pa jaaayega Madhushala… there exists but one path to your desired destination; continue on this journey and you shall arrive. (sic.)”

The celebrated actor is presently hosting the latest season of the quiz show “Kaun Banega Crorepati.” On August 15, he expressed the emotional challenge of witnessing contestants' heartbreak when they do not succeed.

“We occupy the hot seat and interact with contestants who harbor ambitious dreams of winning during their week-long stay on the set, and when they fall short, it becomes incredibly difficult to manage their frustration over missed opportunities. (sic.)”

“For me, it is equally devastating to observe their tears as they realize their week is over, and the chance to play for personal reasons slips away (sic.)”

He believes that while he tries to offer comfort, the loss of a potentially life-altering opportunity is truly heartbreaking.

“No amount of consolation can provide them the peace and understanding they seek at that moment. The need for some is vital; those who have sacrificed their studies or job prospects to be there, only to lose out… it’s tough to confront such instances. (sic.)”

“But what is to be done? A smile of 'try again' and a word of encouragement that everything will be alright... loss is not the end; it’s a lesson, reflecting the saying: Mann ka ho to acha; na ho toh zyada acha. (sic.)”

“Yet, few adhere to this perspective, which is disheartening… but as they say, the show must go on. One often leaves contemplating not the victor and his knowledge, but rather the one who tried and failed. Life can be a challenging endeavor. (sic.)
