Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary Bollywood actor, ensures he remains connected with his fans through social media and his personal blog, despite his demanding work schedule. He frequently shares his thoughts on a variety of subjects, and recently expressed immense pride in India's growing global stature, stating that the country is no longer perceived as a 'soft, weak nation.'
India as 'Anti-Fragile'
The veteran actor shared his reflections on his blog after encountering a phrase that deeply resonated with him. 'Came across a wonderful phrase: India anti-fragile… simply brilliant… India no longer a nation looked upon as a soft weak country…,' he wrote. Reflecting on the term, Amitabh said he feels proud that India is no longer viewed as vulnerable or easily threatened. 'We are no longer fragile – tenuous, easily broken, easily destroyed, easily threatened, vulnerable… we are tough and strong, no longer looked upon as a fragile nation… filled with pride… face up, chest out… COME ONNNN!!!' he added.
Work and Reflections
On the work front, Bachchan is currently occupied with the sequel to Nag Ashwin's blockbuster 'Kalki 2898 AD,' which stars Prabhas and Kamal Haasan. Earlier this week, Amitabh also reflected on the impact of television serials on audiences, noting how viewers often become emotionally invested in fictional characters and storylines. 'Is it just me or with others too… watching a serial that coerces you to keep taking valuable time on its continuity, has the effect of drawing one into the narrative and opting for one of the characters that you prefer, giving rise to your behaviour and demeanor as the character… !! strange…,' he wrote. He further added, 'And the feel of wanting the storyline to be doing justice to your thoughts and desires rather than what is being enacted before you on screen… na… ???!!! long pause… ok maybe not.'
