Amitabh Bachchan, the shahenshah of Bollywood, leaves no stone unturned to mesmerise us with his skills. With his career spanning over decades now, Amitabh has provided us with some of the brilliant films. Well, at the age of 82, the actor can give a shoulder-to-shoulder fight to Gen-Zs and millennials. However, being a public figure comes with a whole lot of limelight, and people keep scrutinising the actor/actress' personal lives.
For Amitabh Bachchan's family, it has been long since reports about Aishwarya and Abhishek's marital life have been put under the radar. Rumours have been rife that everything was not well between the couple, and there can also be a family dispute. While none from the Bachchan clan ever reacted to the same, now, Amitabh Bachchan reacted to the 'speculations' and 'untruths'. Amitabh Bachchan, often takes to his blog and connects to his fans via this platform, wherein he shares in opinions. In a recent post, he wrote that it takes courage to be different, and he rarely talks about his family, as its privacy is maintained by him only. The actor then addressed the speculations and mentioned that these all are just unverified truths.
He also questioned people's morals, who, without verifications, spread untruths with the help of a 'question mark'. The actor said while a 'question mark' can be a 'legal safeguard' for those who spread these untruths, the seed of suspected belief is sown with the help of this only. He wrote:
"It takes immense courage conviction and a sincerity to be different and believe in its presence in life .. I rarely say much about family, because that is my domain and its privacy is maintained by me. Speculations are speculations .. they are speculated untruths, without verifications. Verifications are sought by the seekers to authenticate their business and commercials of the profession they be in .. I shall not challenge their desire to be in the profession of their choice .. and I shall appreciate their effort in serving society."
Amitabh Bachchan, in the same blog, wrote about the use of the question mark in the write-ups. He said that putting the mark makes one see that the writing can be questionable, but it's also a secretive way to attract readers' attention. With this piece of writing, Amitabh possibly took a dig at the wild speculations that are being spread about his family as he added that the content was not only served once but for many moments. In his words:
"But untruths .. or selected question marked information can be a legal safeguard for them that inform .. but the seed of suspected belief is sown with this most used emblem .. the question mark ..? write express whatever you like .. but when you follow it up with a question mark, you are not only saying that the write may be questionable .. but also quite surreptitiously wanting the reader to believe and expand on it, so that your write gets valued repeats."
In the concluding sentences of his blog, Amitabh Bachchan wrote that when the readers react to these untruths or question untruths, positively or negatively, it brings the content much expansion. Big B stated that those whose job is to put the words out there are done by doing all this, but it might have its after-effects on the subject. He questioned the conciseness of people who spread rumours, and sarcastically added that it's his safeguard to write.
