In pictures: Never seen before rush to watch a film-star in Amdavad


Ahmedabad, 17 September 2012

Bollywood Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has updated his blog today and posted the photographs and details of his Ahmedabad visit on Sunday.

“Rushing as ever to make it to the airport, to take my charter to Ahmedabad, for the opening of the jewelry store for Kalyan Jewelers. A smooth flight despite monsoon conditions, and on landing the turbulence of the well wishers. A renewed passion of love and attention. Each time it happens, it makes me wonder. And the eternal question .. will I be able to return this affection some how. And if yes then how ?”

“I seek often in my moments of solitude, an answer to this ; of reciprocation, of returning that which has been given to me with added interest, but each time I fail. The chasing youngsters on their speedy bikes that ride along dangerously, the smiles on the faces of the bystanders that have waited for hours for this one glimpse, over in a second as we speed past, the masses of people that come and merely lend their presence on the road, but on that one short sighting a wave of the hand and namaskar followed by screams of delight on my response..!! So humbling !!”

“And then on landing back within hours, a rush to meet the WW at Jalsa for the Sunday commitment ! And entire day filled with the rapturous applause and the adoration of millions and hundreds of my countrymen. I am so grateful to the Almighty, to my Father and Mother, to those that were responsible for my professional career, and never to forget those who have stayed with me for the past 43 years of my time as an actor.”
