Amitabh Bachchan is one of the few actors in Bollywood who even at the age of 77 is one of the busiest actors in Bollywood, sometimes more so than the current lot of stars. However, seems like all the work is unable to keep the superstar occupied as he is plagued by the recent deaths in family and illness of others", hinting at "the sadness within".

Big B, posted a series of happy memories with son Abhishek Bachchan on the occasion of his 44th birthday revealing how he used to suck his two fingers as a toddler. In the middle of that, Big B did not shy away from addressing the recent death of his daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda's mother-in-law Ritu Nanda and the illness of others. 

Taking to his blog, Amitabh wrote, "...plagued by recent passings away in the family .. illnesses of others and the uncertainty of it all crawls upon you in the devastation that unearths levels of sadness within and the inability to do any else."

He goes on to write how "suddenly the most normal acts seem to be so laboured and avoidable” and that “only those that are besieged can understand .. when the mind wishes to break through all of that and run into a canvas protected soft rubbered mattress." He ended his post saying, "whenever did the tear flows of this eye ever flow in the other .. the aloneness of one is the oneness of being alone .. for that be the ethos of life .. none other than the self is responsible for all that it desires to feel, reject, acquire and dissolve.
