Megastar Amitabh Bachchan recently arrived in Bhopal with his entire family for the shooting of Prakash Jha's upcoming movie 'Satyagraha'. However after reaching there, he expressed his concerned over the slow growth in rural India, especially villages.
Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog by saying, "The rural and the village India still totters, and it is depressing to see them suffer. Many examples of those that do, one has encountered on KBC. But they are minuscule."
However at the same time, Amitabh has also admired India's development by saying, "Airports, highways, hotels of great calibre, housing... all becoming a part of interior India. An India that stands on the threshold of huge progress and development. The opening up of the economy has brought in huge benefits of investment from the Western world, and infrastructure and many other factors have become responsible for this growth."
Amitabh Bachchan arrived in Bhopal on February 14, along with his wife Jaya Bachchan, son Abhishek Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and grand-daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, and from the airport, the family drove towards Jaya's mother Indira Bhaduri's residence in the posh Shyamla Hills area.
However before that, Big B didn't fail to praise the new Bhopal Airport, Raja Bhoj International Airport, when he landed on the airport by saying that "it resembles a space craft". He wrote, "The new airport at Bhopal... a spanking new facility, which resembles a space craft, is a revelation for me. When I first came to the city in 1973 soon after marriage to Jaya, the place was just a vacant isolated cottage like airport, and an airfield that could only take small range propeller aircraft. and now..."
On the other side, mentioning the impact of new generation, Amitabh said, "Also the new generation that is now taking decisions and forming the psyche of the nation is young - perhaps all born after the liberalisation of the economy. The youth is projected to be the largest young brigade in the world! They have not lived or experienced the elements that we went through. They are enthused and aggressive in their search for their ultimate destination."
Expressing that it is the youth of the nation who were calling shots, Big B said in his blog, "They are deciding the culture, the films, the clothing, music, opinion, politics, morals of this country on the move. If we do not respect them they have the capacity to over run us by the strength of their sheer numbers.
Further added, "At the same time if we give them good guidance, education, opportunities, they will and do possess the brilliance to follow the paths that would be beneficial. They need to be understood and they need to be channelled! And they will be of benefit... of this I am certain... for there is one very major factor in favour.. they passionately care and love India!!"
