Amitabh Bachchan Amazed With Today's Generation!

Big B has been doing quite some scuffling around recently to promote his upcoming film Paa, which happens to be releasing under the AB Corp banner. Recently the senior Bachchan was at Big FM promoting his film when he was taken aback by the energy, enthusiasm and speed of the RJs and youth working at the radio station. 

 

On his blog senior Bachchan states:

 

"So before the reception committee at BiG Fm can organize and mobilize the standard flowers of welcome you are well past them and into the radio studio, with efficient RJ's that put me on live throughout the country. This is the new fascination that brings interest to me. Looking at these young operators, their efficiency and their speed, their presence of mind and quickness of spirit, fills me up with a million complexes. How and why is it that I cannot do what they are doing. Just witnessing their speed of thought makes you sit there dumbfounded. I must accept that what this generation practices, and practices so well, will always be a step ahead of us. Do not attempt to out bid them. Lie beside them in quiet but observant model and hope and pray that somewhere someone takes a look, albeit unconcernedly, and offers you a job, with the compliance of a snail out for lunch!!"

 

One is left fascinated by Bachchan's keen observation above as well as his brilliance of not only accepting the energy he sees in today's youth, but also not openly challenging or competing against it.  And then you must wonder, how far behind is Mr. Bachchan from today's youth?  A man at the age of 60+ who continues to bring us some of the best films ever year while simultaneously working harder than many of the current generation of Bollywood actors in promoting his films as well as taking the time out to blog and connect with his fans on a regular basis!  Hats off to Mr. Bachchan!
