Absolutely agree with Big B. My grandfather used to say the same thing - "Daan ka maza tab hai jab kisi ko pata na chale". The moment you publicize it, the intention shifts from helping to showing off. More people need to understand this difference.

While I admire the sentiment, I respectfully disagree on one point. Sometimes, sharing stories of kindness can inspire others to do good too. If done without ego, it can create a positive ripple effect. But yes, the core act should be selfless.

Bachchan sahab always shares such profound thoughts. Reminds me of the concept of 'Nishkaam Karma' from our scriptures. Do your duty without attachment to the results. Whether it's a big donation or helping someone cross the road, do it quietly. 👍

Easy to say when you're a crorepati! For common people, sometimes sharing acts of kindness on social media helps raise awareness about causes or encourages community support. The intent matters more than the visibility.

His humility is what makes him the Shahenshah. After all these years of stardom, he still writes about basic human values. We need more celebrities using their platform to talk about things that actually matter, not just promotions.
