Amitabh Bachchan is not only a legend but also a very caring and loving grandfather in real life. The superstar is not just flawless with his acting skills but also a great artist when it comes to writing.

Very often we have seen him write beautiful poems and stories about his day-to-day life. But, this time what he has penned down for his granddaughters is something that every young girl should read.

Big B is blessed with two beautiful granddaughters, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's daughter Aaradhya Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda and Shweta Nanda's daughter Navya Naveli Nanda. For these beautiful girls, he has a very important message to convey. Here's what his letter reads:

"My very dearest Navya & Aaradhya

You both carry a very valuable legacy on your tender shoulders - Aaradhya, the legacy of your pardadaji, Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchanand Navya, the legacy of your pardadaji , Shri H P Nanda.

Both your pardadaji's gave your present surnames celebrated fame, dignity and recognition !

Both of you may be a Nanda or a Bachchan, but you are also girlswomen !

And because you are women people will force their thinking, their boundaries on you.

They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go.

Don't live in the shadows of people's judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom.

Don't let anyone make you believe that the length of your skirt is a measure of your character.

Don't let anyone's opinion of who you should be friends with, dictate who you will be friends with.

Don't get married for any other reason other than you want to get married.

People will talk. They shall say some terrible things. But that doesn't mean you have to listen to everyone. Never ever worry about - log kya kahenge

At the end of the day, you are the only one who will face the consequences of your actions, so don't let other people make your decisions for you.

Navya - the privilege your name, your surname offers you, will not protect you from the difficulties you will face because you're a woman.

Aaradhya - by the time you see and understand this, I may well not be around. But I think what I am saying today shall still be relevant.

This may be a difficult, difficult world to be a woman. But I believe that it is women like you that will change that.

It may not be easy, setting your own boundaries, making your own choices, rising above people's judgement. But YOU !you can set an example for women everywhere.

Do this and you would have done more than I have ever done, and it will be my honor to be known not as Amitabh Bachchan, but as your grandfather !!

With all my love

Your .Dadaji .your Nana."

In an age, where crime against women are increasing day by day, where gender issues are still very much prevalent; this letter surely comes as a motivational factor. Share your views in the comment box below.
