Amitabh Bachchan defends writing blog in Hindi
Faced with a mixed response for writing his blog in Hindi, megastar Amitabh
Bachchan has said that he would not hesitate to express his sentiments in his
mother tongue. "If I have an opportunity to express some of my sentiments in my
mother tongue, I shall not hesitate to do so, whether there is someone to read
it or not. I have always maintained a balance in my life and in my
conduct.
"If a thought in English needs to be put in Hindi, I shall endeavour to do that
and vice versa. The English language also is a great absorber of other tongues
within i s European ambiance," Big B said. "We must never disrespect the mother
tongue of others, neither their belief nor their importance," he wrote on his
blog. The superstar admitted that some readers of his blog are unhappy over his
writings in Hindi.
"There is some consternation among a few of you about the writings in Hindi.
They want a translation and some even threaten to leave the post altogether,"
Bachchan said. "While some readers have great amount of gratefulness and
support for my foray into Hindi as they do not know the English language or are
not so familiar with it. They said this is generous and kind," the Bollywood
icon has observed. |
