Amitabh Bachchan talks about facing less criticism at 80
Amitabh Bachchan’s personal blog entry reflected upon how the “ridicule has lessened” with age. He revealed “Now with age, the ridicule has lessened. Those who are asked or involved in discussions about me now understand that I am 81 years old, old, feeble, and senile.”
Big B further addressed the same conversation and added, “They bear with me, thinking it won’t be for long. The responses I receive carry a sense of sympathy, as if they think, ‘poor guy, he is so uninformed, let him be,’ and so on.”
“Moreover, I have developed the audacity to address and express issues that I might not have done before. This fearlessness has reached a stage where I voice matters that were previously unheard of,” continued the actor. In his blog post, Sr Bachchan spoke about how he has now learnt to express his thoughts freely and voice his opinions.
