Amitabh Bachchan gets emotional as he pays a beautiful tribute to his late mother Teji Bachchan

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is not one to shy away from emotions or speak candidly. He has amassed a huge fan following not just for his brilliant acting but for the poignant thoughts he shares frequently on his social media platforms. Just recently, he paid a pictorial tribute to his late mother Teji Bachchan on her birth anniversary. The icon took to his official blog to share pictures of his mother from different walks of life. He penned, 'In a few moments the birth of the 'most beautiful Ma in the World' .. August 12th... and a dear family friend pulls out a handwritten letter from Ma to her in 1977 and some of the thoughts are so beautiful and filled with the philosophical aesthetic of words. I spent an immense period of years in her company and her parentage...blessed to be her Son .. blessed to be her grandson ..In remembrance one would have thought there should have been memories and stories related to her, in abundance .. but there are none .. and that to me is the greatness called MA.' The actor then shared excerpts from the letter which read, 'Ever since I was a child I have valued home life above everything else. It is the one thing I am sure of and it's the whole point of my being with my children. Once they have been well loved, whatever life holds for them, they'll have known that security and love behind them. It will be their strength to carry them through their whole lives. Have you ever noticed that it is the ones who haven't been loved who grow up to hate so much? I believe in the emancipation of women but not at the cost of ones home. For in their emancipation women are losing what has always made them emotionally superior to men - their tenderness and essential warmth of heart.' The letter made Big B very emotional as he wrote, 'It would be a sacrilege for me to say any more.. I close.. and with a silent prayer and remembrance.' Teji was a social activist who got married to Amitabh's father Harivansh Rai Bachchan in 1941. She died at the age of 93 in 2007 following prolonged illness.
