Amitabh Bachchan Pens Heartfelt Note After Dadasaheb Phalke Award Honour

Amitabh Bachchan has been given India's highest honour Dadasaheb Phalke Award given in the field of cinematic art. Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar announced the news.

The Indian film fraternity and celebrities from various fields congratulated Big B for the achievement. In his blog post, Amitabh Bachchan penned a heartfelt and humble message for his fans.

Amitabh Bachchan wrote, "The overwhelming love and appreciation from the moment of the declaration of the DPA (Dadasaheb Phalke Award) has been most humbling... It numbs you into a block of ice that has been kept away from the warmth of its melting for ages... cold dry and blocked that is how you feel on its happening. Then you succumb to it and begin to acknowledge its presence and worth and its delivery."

He further wrote, "I cannot deny the fact that it lends me to a stage of embarrassment... When you do consider yourself not worthy of it at all... of perhaps a mistake made by them that decided on it."

"The attention it draws does put you in the constant glare of recognition - a condition we as actors work assiduously for our entire lives - and when it does come, make all possible gadgetry to avoid it... Glares for the eyes, dark tinted windows, guarded movements to places of natural destination and on." Amitabh Bachchan concluded by saying "for the moment though it is folded hands and extreme humility".

Meanwhile, Sachin Tendulkar on his Twitter handle, wrote, "Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, Poora Naam. Baap Ka Naam Dinanath Chauhan, Maa Ka Naam Suhasini Chauhan. Gaon Mandwa. Umar 36..." a line that gives me goosebumps even today! May you continue to win hearts across the globe, Amit ji.
