Today marks Amitabh Bachchan’s mother, Teji Bachchan’s birth anniversary. She was born on August 12, 1914 and passed away on December 21, 2007. Teji Bachchan was a social activist and also taught psychology in pre-independence Lahore. She had two sons with Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan and Ajitabh Bachchan. Amitabh had a close relationship with his mother and at the time of her passing, stood by her in her pain.
The veteran actor, who often takes to his blog to share insights from his life, recalled the time of his mother’s passing a few years ago. The actor wrote, “No pictures of her today in remembrance, none could do justice to her beauty. She slipped away as elegantly and quietly as was her temperament this morning as I watched the doctors struggle to revive her delicate heart, time and again .. pumping her delicate frame in vigorous pushes to get her to live again .. and again .. and again.”
“We stood holding hands all of us near and dear .. the nieces and the children in tears .. until .. I spoke up .. leave it doc .. leave her .. she wishes to go .. stop .. do not make any more efforts .. each effort was painful for her system and painful for us to stand there and witness .. each time that ‘straight-line’ would appear .. and then shift to the graphic responses of the physical pumping .. stop it I said,” he added.
Late last night, a few minutes before Teji’s birth anniversary, the actor again took to his blog to share his feelings. He wrote, “A day tomorrow of remembrance to the most beautiful Mother of all time… Aug 12 .. her strength, her warmth, her sense of etiquette and aesthetics… but most importantly her faith and love of all things bright and beautiful for us all… There is no need to say anymore…”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Amitabh Bachchan has started shooting for the upcoming season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Recently, the Bollywood superstar took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle and shared the first photo from the sets of the quiz show. In the black and white picture, Big B was seen spreading his arms as he seemingly welcomed the audience to the show’s new season. “T 5082 – BACK to KBC 16th season,” he wrote. KBC 16 was announced in April this year when the show’s makers unveiled a promo and announced that the registrations were open. However, the official premiere date of KBC 16 is not known as of now.
