The whole of India seems to be crazy about the Bachchans, be it senior Bachchan or junior Bachchan. Or is it the media, who has created them as the “Super Star of the millennium”, “Bollywood’s first family”, “The Iconic Legend” and so on.
Such tags should be associated with some iconic personalities, not with one who is associated with frauds of projecting himself as a farmer, but is not even aware of the plight of the Indian farmers. Had he been an icon, he would not have tried to grab a piece of agricultural land from farmer’s share, which is the only means of their livelihood.
Here, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has a Rolls Royce, Mercedes, Land Rover, Bentley and many more. And on the other side is the farmer, who barely has food to eat.
For being called the “Legend”, what is the contribution of Big ��" B to the society? The star hunt programme, which made only one person ��" the hero (Chandrachud), out of hundreds of thousands of application??
The controversial Miss World Contest held in Bangalore???
The visits to Tirupati, to seek blessing for himself and his family?? Donating Rs. 5 crore to Tirupati, so that God blesses his family??? Visiting Vindhyavasini in UP with his family and to-be-daughter-in-law?? What message is he trying to spread in the society by demonstrating his superstitions?
By playing the roles in films where he has an extra-marital affair with a 16 year old girl at the age of 64, what message is he giving to the younger generations and the elderly people in the society?
The “ICONS” or “LEGENDS” are the one who would become somebody’s ideal in life and one would like to imitate them. When someone gets this status, his responsibility towards the society grows. He has to watch what he does in public life. People are watching him and he cannot say that such things are personal.
Have you ever heard of Amitabh Bachchan being associated with any social cause or donating money for any charity?
Then there is Jaya Bachchan, who is known for her “Office of Profit” saga in the Rajya Sabha. Are the Bachchans on some money making spree?
In what social benefit ways, is Jaya Bachchan contributing to the society by being the member of the Rajya Sabha, other than campaigning for Samajwadi Party?
And then comes, the newest Bachchan in the family…………Mrs. Aishwarya Bachchan. Jaya Bachchan says in one of the film award functions held in Malaysia that this girl with beautiful smile brings a lot of dignity to the family. Has this dignity been brought by smooching a co-star in a film, just a few days before being engaged to Abhishek Bachchan, for a scene which not at all demanded a kiss or smooch? Or by being known for her affairs with Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi? What role has she played as “Miss World”, other then minting money for herself?
The Bachchan Father-in-Law is contesting a case of “Fraud” in UP court and the Bachchan Daughter-in-Law is defending a case of “Obsenity” in a Rajsthan court.
And they are the “First Family of Bollywood”.
And still, if you look at the media, you feel like these are the only people to talk about. When did we talk about our heroes at the border? Have we forgotten that we owe our lives to them? It is they because of whom we live in a free world.
Have we forgotten our sportsmen, who bring pride to the nation?
We should wake up and decide what substance matter is needed to be called as a “Legend” or an “ICON”??????
