Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has questioned long-standing traditions and superstitions, asking why people continue to follow practices passed down through generations without examining their meaning or logic.
Reflecting on changing desires and perspectives with age, the veteran actor shared his thoughts in a blog post, observing how people sometimes return to things they once avoided or felt restricted from doing.
Bachchan wondered why the mind guides people towards certain choices at different stages of life, describing the experience as both comforting and unsettling.
He then turned to familiar superstitions, citing the belief that cutting nails on a Saturday is inauspicious and the suggestion that a green shawl can serve as an alternative to wearing a green gemstone.
“Shanichar ko nakhoon mat kaato, ashubh hota hai!!! Pratha chali aa rahi hai, aur humaara bhay, ek aagyaakaari manushya ke tahat, use maanyata deta rehta hai!” he wrote, questioning how fear and unquestioned obedience help sustain such beliefs.
He also challenged the logic behind the gemstone-related advice, asking what harm a green stone had done and how keeping a green shawl could possibly prove beneficial.
“Pratha???!!! Arth??” Bachchan wrote, questioning the meaning behind customs that people continue to accept simply because they have been followed for generations.
The actor’s reflections focused on the need to question inherited beliefs rather than accept them automatically, inviting readers to consider whether long-standing practices have any meaningful basis.
Bachchan regularly shares personal reflections and observations on life through his blog, offering followers glimpses into his thoughts beyond his work in cinema.
