Amitabh Bachchan meets his fans in new avatar, breaks long-term “bare foot” tradition
Every Sunday Amitabh Bachchan meets his fans outside his ‘Jalsa’ bungalow bare-footed and never misses the day. But on 25 June Sunday
he broke his ritual of meeting the fans “bare feet”.
In his blog, Amitabh revealed that he met his fans wearing shoes on Sunday as he had blisters on his feet. He wrote
“… and a big difference today .. SHOES .. shoes because , shooting bare feet, whole of yesterday , gave rise to a rise in what is generally referred to bumps in the foot .. named blisters .. a similar incident earlier had incapacitated the body for long so taking precaution .. so the temple is still the same, and next time round it shall be revered,” he wrote.
The Bollywood Legend also shared a string of images from the meet and greet session.
It was earlier this month only when Big B shared why he goes bare feet to meet his fans.
He wrote, “some sarcastically commented on a few occasions .. ‘who goes out wearing socks and bare feet’ .. I say ..’I DO’ ! .. you got a problem with that !!?? ‘You go to the temple bare feet .. my well wishers are my temple !!'”
The Pink actor also talked on the importance of comfort wear saying, “Comfort be the elements of use in these times of uncared for attitudes , breaking away from any tradition that could have been imposed .. Shoes .. The comfort of the ‘sneakers’ or whatever else they may be called .. the nikes, the other brands , all .. now the formal wear irrespective .. that black patent leather, that polished bright , whatever , has disappeared .. the white bordered comfort wear be the IT .. !”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Amitabh was last seen in the family entertainer film ‘Uunchai’ along with Anupam Kher, Parineeti Chopra and Boman Irani. Helmed by Sooraj Barjatya, the film got positive responses from the audience.
He will next be seen in ‘Project K’ alongside Deepika Padukone and Prabhas. He will also be seen in Ribhu Dasgupta’s next courtroom drama film ‘Section 84’.
