Amitabh Bachchan Mourns Recent Deaths in Family and Illnesses, says there is ‘sadness within’

Amitabh Bachchan often pens down heartfelt notes in his blog. This time, he has talked about the ‘sadness within’ because of the recent deaths in the family and illnesses of others. His daughter Shweta Bachchan’s mother-in-law Ritu Nanda passed away a month back, and the Kapoor and Bachchan families were heartbroken with the loss. 

Recently, the Bachchan family graced the wedding of Armaan Jain and Anissa Malhotra, and today, on February 4, Big B’s son and actor Abhishek Bachchan turned 44 on his birthday. 

Despite the happy moments, Amit Ji penned an emotional note as he writes, “...plagued by recent passings away in the family .. illnesses of others and the uncertainty of it all crawls upon you in a devastation that unearths levels of sadness within and the inability to do any else.”

Further, he writes how “suddenly the most normal acts seem to be so laboured and avoidable” and that “only those that are besieged can understand .. when the mind wishes to break through all of that and run into a canvas protected soft rubbered mattress.” 

However, he stated that he will overcome all of it, as he continues to write, “when the will and the strength of its bearing is depleted .. then shall one rise again in defiance. That then shall be the revelation of the power of one .. the power hitherto understood by none no more .. except by the own .. that is the writing ever written on stone ... in the end it shall just be me , be I .. and none other ..”

He concluded by writing, “ when ever did the tear flows of this eye ever flow in the other .. the aloneness of one is the oneness of being alone .. for that be the ethos of life .. none other than the self is responsible for all that it desires to feel, reject, acquire and dissolve.”

A day ago, Shweta Bachchan shared a picture with dad Amitabh on her Instagram and captioned it as “Always.” 

And today, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan posted a happy family picture, with Amit Ji, Jaya Bachchan, and Aradhya posing together from Abhishek’s birthday celebration.
