The ‘Shahenshah’ of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, continues his 40-year Sunday tradition at Jalsa, rooted in the 1982 ‘Coolie’ setback that galvanized national prayers for his recovery. Fans’ steadfast presence keeps the flame alive.
Last Sunday stood out as fans not only met their idol but ignited a poetic renaissance. Responding to Bachchan’s shared verse, they flooded social media with adoration, prompting him to unveil more from Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s ‘Kya Karun Sanvedna lekar Tumhari Kya Karun.’
‘Overwhelmed by your replies, here’s a snippet from Babuji’s masterpiece,’ he posted on X. The lines pierced hearts: ‘Kaun hai jo doosron ko dukh apna de sakega… Tum dukhi ho to sukhi main, vishwa ka abhisap bhaari.’
Reactions poured in, with fans hailing his unyielding essence – ‘Even soil can’t reform Amitabh.’ Personal stories intertwined with the poetry, creating a tapestry of shared humanity.
Bachchan vowed to recount the poem’s inspirational genesis soon. His father’s ‘Ekaki Kavitaen’ – gems like ‘Ab Mat Mera Nirman Karo’ and ‘Khidki se Jhaank Rahe Taare’ – gain fresh life, proving literature’s timeless bridge across generations.
Amid viral trends, this moment spotlights genuine stardom: where fan love meets profound art, forging lasting bonds.
