Amitabh Bachchan on his young co-stars: The future of India is sublime
Mumbai, May 28
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan penned a note for his child co-stars, and heaped praise on them over their confidence and maturity beyond their years.
Amitabh took to X, formerly called Twitter, where he shared a picture posing with some children and said that the younger generation continues to inspire him.
"My costars ! they no kids .. they exude selfless confidence , and maturity beyond what you may ever imagination .. the future of India is sublime," Amitabh wrote on Twitter.
The icon took to his blog, where he spoke about on solitude, human connection, and the healing power of music in a deeply philosophical.
"... the desk, the chair .. the mind to the work .. the desire to do what may not have been so, a little while earlier when the slumber was taking over .. and all gone ..the presence of the connect is abundantly precious and wanting .. for that is this modern worlds gift .. mankind has never connected and never been so informed of every aspect , than ever before .."
The actor spoke about late-night thoughts, the modern world's constant connectivity, and how people today have become their "own media" through digital platforms.
"We connect for our pleasure or personal issues .. others take our connect and deliver their connect as theirs .. no better business in the present World than this ... we become our own media Chalo kisi ka bhala ho jaaye, toh man ki shaanti."
"These hours of isolation be the wisest .. these and at times the earliest morning .. or surprisingly when under the aqua .. wise then to keep a recorder at hand to immediately document the thought idea deed to be accomplished.. (sic)."
He concluded: "But truly beyond all this is the saath suron ka dwaar... music the healer of all ailments , mental and physical ...hours and hours of time spent with like minded , and the joys of spontaneous recordings at our own style and trim .. heaven and beyond...be in music and in its strains .. they be the nearest to the divine .."

As a teacher in Bangalore, I see these kids every day - their confidence and maturity is something we never had at their age. Big B is absolutely right. But I wish he'd focus on his own health too, instead of working so much. He's a national treasure.
Sir's philosophical thoughts on solitude and music - that part about keeping a recorder near the shower is so relatable! 😄 It's amazing how he continues to inspire at 81. The man is a living legend and his words about our youth give me hope for India's bright future.
I'm from the US but have been following Indian cinema for years. Amitabh Bachchan's humility and wisdom is unparalleled. This note about young co-stars shows why he's respected globally. The future of India is indeed in good hands!
"Music the healer of all ailments" - so true, Amitabh ji! In these chaotic times, his words about finding peace through music and solitude resonate deeply. Though sometimes I wonder if society pressures kids too much to be "mature" too early. Balance is key.
From Delhi here - Big B's posts always have that old-school wisdom mixed with modern relevance. The way he talks about connectivity and media is spot on! But yaar, why is he still working? Let the man retire and enjoy his grandkids! 😂
