Amitabh Bachchan pens long note post injury on Project K shoot: ‘Can sit back and lament or get up and beat it’

Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “One can sit back and lament lost opportunity or get up, retrieve it and beat it. Yes, defeat, loss, suffering is painful, but the body mechanism heals as rapidly as it injures. Get up, get going, and get it… no philosophy here, no grand proclamations of adamant bravery or the incline to demonstrate line of work for praise and will… those for whom work brings fresh start, shall ever do, in the interests of the self, teach yourself a lesson… doing it to reflect in teaching to others is a fake, a falsehood that needs to be abandoned… it is my body, my mind, my will, my desire.”

Amitabh also spoke about how he has ‘not known peace and quiet’ and was willing to work on his ‘shortcoming’. He wrote, “Your own limits of physicality, limits of your cerebrum, shall ever remain as the build on birth. What we treat it to is the condition that we build for ourselves — indulge in the unwanted and be prepared for the dive, indulge in the wanted and be prepared for the dive to swim out. Tough. But there for us all. I have known not peace, there be some shortcomings within, some without. But I have determined myself to rid me of both shortcomings for I have not known peace and quiet. Proclamations are worthless, proclaim and be defeated because they were not fulfilled is a head down embarrassment. Say yes, but to thyself; do yes, but for thyself; repair yes, but for thyself. For when the ‘thy’ thrives, so does the rest. I thrive because I wish you to keep in my join ever.”
