Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 14 (ANI): Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has shared a thought-provoking message about life’s wants and expectations, saying that people often wish for more when they have little but struggle to manage things when they finally get what they asked for.
The actor shared his thoughts in his latest blog, where he spoke about how life does not always go according to one’s wishes. He also reminded readers that opportunities should be grabbed when they come, as they may not return.
Sharing his thoughts on the irony of life, Amitabh wrote, “Jab nahi milta tha, toh maangte the, aur kuch bhi mil jaaye, par mil jaaye. Ab jab Ishwar kripa se mil raha hai, toh keh rahe hain - itna mil gaya hai, rakhenge kahan. Jeevan ka bahut bada satya hai ye." (When we did not get anything, we would ask for it, wishing to get at least something. Now, by God’s grace, when we are getting things, we are wondering what to do with so much. That is one of the biggest truths of life.)
He further spoke about how people sometimes end up receiving more than they had originally wished for, leaving them unsure of what to do with it.
“Jab nahi tha toh maanga jaata tha, lekin milta nahi tha. Ab bina maange milta ja raha hai, aur samajh mein nahi aata ki - maanga toh tha par itna nahi!!!! (When we had nothing, we would ask for things but would not get them. Now, things keep coming without even asking, and we do not know what to do. We had asked for them, but not this much!)"
"Are Miyaan, aapke kehne pe duniya nahi chalti hai. Aap toh kuch bhi kahein, duniya chalti jaati hai. Agar aapne daud ke pakad liya, toh theek, na pakad sake hon toh - than than Gopal!! (Hey, the world does not run according to what you say. You may say whatever you want, but the world keeps moving. If you manage to run and catch it, good for you. If you fail to catch it, you are left empty-handed!)
He concluded, "Ab chale hum neend pakadne.” (Now, I am off to catch some sleep.)
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting the 18th season of the television quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. He is also expected to return as Ashwatthama in the sequel to ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas. (ANI)
