Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has shared his reflections on a quieter Diwali, observing that fewer firecrackers were burst this year, roads remained relatively clear and noise levels were lower.
The veteran actor took to his personal blog to describe the festival as a peaceful celebration, expressing hope that happiness and prosperity would continue to prevail.
“Ek Sahaj Diwali Manayi Hai; Patakhe Kam Chalaye Hain; Sadkein Khuli Aur Shor Kam Hai; Vatavaran Kuch Shaant Roop Mein Gahra Hai,” Bachchan wrote, noting the calmer atmosphere.
He also extended wishes for continued peace, prosperity and happiness, saying he hoped every occasion would be filled with joy.
In a separate blog entry, the actor referred to a line from a poem by his late father, renowned poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan: “Anavarat Samay Ki Chakki Chalti Jaati Hai…” (The mill of time keeps turning continuously).
Bachchan also mentioned that his team had raised certain issues involving figures and had been assured that they would be corrected in the final version. However, he said he had not yet seen the necessary changes reflected.
Meanwhile, the actor is currently associated with the quiz-based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati. However, filming of new episodes has reportedly been paused for a week amid concerns over his health.
According to a source, the channel has been re-telecasting previously recorded episodes featuring celebrity guests as part of its Diwali special programming.
The last major celebrity episode reportedly filmed featured Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey, who appeared on the show to promote their upcoming film Ramayan.
