Megastar Amitabh Bachchan feels the coronavirus pandemic might have changed the way people celebrate festivals, but the spirit remains the same.
"And they say the festive season has begun . .
the Navratri the Durga Pooja and soon the festive Diwali and Dussera . .
and the limitations of the celebration loom large among us all . .
but the spirit of prayer and wellness and the reason for the festivity has never changed or stepped down . .
it remains steadfast, unchanged and devout in its presence, " Big B wrote on his blog.
"There is the exhilaration of the joy that such moments bring . .
the memories of the times spent earlier . .
of the friends and the relatives and the customs and the codes and the atmosphere of fulfilment , as the air begins to temperature down and the Surya devta begins to show its brilliance in greater detail, " he added.
The cine - icon continued: "Each day and year as the times of our days pass by, the want and the desire of them that may never have seen or participated in the celebrations . .
they that breathe the same air , yet never breathe out the reverence of the time for they are deprived of what we and many others like us possess . .
the kindness of the Heavens blessing us in a privilege, the others do not possess . .
and no matter how much we may wish to do in our own limited capacity the distance remains between them and us.
"And we pray . .
and I pray . .
that the needed bridge between us be built in its strongest presentation . .
to bear the weight of this anomaly . .
and give respite and courage and standing and respect to the other', " he shared.
On the work front, the actor has four films lined up.
He will be seen in Nagraj Manjule's "Jhund", the Emraan Hashmi co - starrer "Chehre", and Ayan Mukerji's action fantasy drama "Brahmastra", co - starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy and Telugu superstar Nagarjuna.
