BigB Blog - Day 308 - My thoughts

I have been an avid follower of Amitabh Bachchan's blog. But of late I am feeling very offended by the way his blog is turning out. It used to be a medium where he used to reach out to his so called Extended Family (EF). But these days his posts and posts from many member of his EF are becoming more negative. It has become a place to pour anger and score personnel vendetta, name calling, cheap publicity, advertising platform for his sponsors, etc.

Why do his fan has to endure the Reid and Taylor advertisement. He himself has mentioned that he do not like few things like the advertisement, or for that sake, name of his blog BigB. But it is all in his hand. He doesn't have to stick the ads around and can change the name of his blog. His explanation all seems very hollow.

The way he is fighting in the blogosphere defending himself against the media, putting up the media cutouts, explaining the remarks he has or has not made about SDM or comparing the D6 reviewers being 180 degree opposite, feeling happy about his family getting 5 Pamda and not acknowledging the success of another film which brought laurels to a lot of people in India, is all unbecoming of a person of his caliber. I have seen other celebrity blogs, but fortunately none of them are as negative as this BigBlog.

Your opinions are welcome.

  1. I saw the link to your blog on Big B's blog and found it really interesting. The thoughts you have expressed above mirror mine. Alot of his recent posts seem mired in negativity, sarcasm, and underlying self-obsession. The way he continued on & on about SM shows an underlying dismissiveness towards it. Opinions are fine, but he then writes how he never talks about any film.....yet there is a whole post about the greatness of Delhi 6......objectivity much?
