He wrote, "Pujya Babuji se ek din aise hi main keh raha tha ki jeevan mein bada sangharsh hai. Unka uttar aaya, ‘Beta, jab tak jeevan hai, tab tak sangharsh hai’ (I was casually telling Pujya Babuji one day that life is full of struggles. He replied, ‘Son, as long as there is life, there will be struggle')."He further wrote, "Abhi ek pustak dekh raha tha Firaq Gorakhpuri ji ki, jismein unka ek sher mila (I was just looking at a book by Firaq Gorakhpuri, in which I came across one of his couplets)."The megastar of the Indian cinema expressed how his father's and Firaq Gorakhpuri's emotions and philosophies were quite similar. Big B added that both poets belonged to the Kayastha community while emphasizing that the late poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan never believed in casteism.
“Firaq Gorakhpuri ji was the eminent poet from Allahabad, now Prayagraj, and a contemporary of Babuji… they were close friends too… his poetry was embellished in Urdu… he was a Kayast… a caste, a social order prevalent, a stratum, an echelon—Hinduism… the same as Babuji, who, as I have mentioned often, never believed in casteism…!!! Look how similar their words and emotions are."
