Big B’s Blog Message: A Grandfather’s Emotions

Marking the special day, Aaradhya's grandfather and Megastar Amitabh Bachchan penned a brief yet deeply affectionate note on his blog- an online space where he often opens up to his loyal readers. His message reflected warmth, nostalgia, and the tender pride of a grandfather.

He wrote: “Blessings on the eve of the little one, Aaradhya,” followed by “The child in us all grows with time and we wish them the mostest. We pray the same. And today be the dawn of the loved one’s birth. All blessings.”

The simplicity of his words carried layers of emotion, echoing the joy within the Bachchan household.

A Celebration Amid Quiet Grief

Even as the family marked a happy occasion, Big B acknowledged the wave of sorrow that has touched the film fraternity in recent weeks. Without mentioning names, he admitted that the atmosphere had been heavy with loss.

He wrote in his blog: “In all the days passed the sadness of loss has been of immense grief, but life moves on.”

He further reminded readers that prayers continue for the departed and encouraged resilience, noting that one must “perceive, persist, persevere and continue to continue the odds of life.”

Remembering Legends of Cinema

Among the losses he silently referenced was that of veteran actress Kamini Kaushal, a symbol of dignity and grace from Hindi cinema’s golden age. Bachchan had paid tribute to her earlier, recalling the lasting imprint she left on the industry.
