Bachchan’s Cryptic Post on Anxiety
Samay Raina recently spoke about his appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati , where he participated as a guest contestant along with Tanmay Bhat during the 1-hour 21-minute special. He said he avoided jokes that could be too controversial. Days after the episode, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan has now shared a post on his blog about facing anxiety and being aware of various rumours on social media.
“So you leave everything and sit back .. hoping that the mind shall stop its ‘adventure’ .. but no it does not .. and the storm of the internet blows strong and drives your attention to so many aspects that it becomes very difficult to assess what and which is the ‘real deal’ .. The paucity of content , that could be of necessity , is at times overlooked or wishes to attend to all,” he added.
Samay Raina’s KBC Appearance
He continued, “Now though there are provisions to find and correct thoughts and search for answers, has dramatically improved .. the speed of knowing is now at the press of a button .. not the ‘think button’ of the cerebrum .. that has been overshadowed by this medium called the ‘net’ .. and the revelations coerce one to follow the latest and drive past the earlier usual. For those that have lived past the early times and live now to be overwhelmed by strikingly different methodology , it is a fascinating tale of time. ‘Times’ were ever an important element to rely upon .. and they do bring in honourable nostalgia .. understood by them that have lived through the past .. for the ‘present’ it perhaps does not come into consideration .. they are involved in the ‘now’, just as we were when we were their age, facing new inventions and directives.”
‘Kalki 2898 AD’ Success
On the work front, Amitabh was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD . Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film also starred Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan in lead roles.
