Amitabh dropped a series of serene pictures on his Tumblr account where he was seen donning a simple white kurta and a jacket on top, wearing a saffron bandana on his head. He came down the stairs of his residence to greet his eager fans with a smile on his face. In the blog, the actor rued that over time he has observed that fans were coming less in numbers to meet him. He also pointed out that the earlier frenzied excitement is missing now.
“I do observe though that the numbers are in lesser magnitude and the enthusiasm has lessened and the screams of joy now transferred to the mobile camera… and that is more evident now… an indication that time has moved on and nothing lasts forever…" he wrote.
The legendary Big B also added that whenever he meets his admirers outside his Jalsa home, the actor always makes it a point to remove his shoes. Amitabh perceives his act of interaction with his well-wishers to be a kind of “devotion". Hence he always takes off his shoes before stepping out of his residence, no matter what.
“Shoes off when I go to meet the well-wishers… it’s a devotion for me…" he clarified.
The photos further gave viewers a sneak peek at the actor’s home, dotted with lavish Diwali decor. There were kandils and sculptures on his porch marked with plenty of greenery. The actor signed off his post with the words, “and back… ready for work tomorrow."
