Amitabh Bachchan apologises for delay in replying to Diwali wishes

Meanwhile, the veteran actor took to his Tumblr account to share an update about his well-being. He revealed that he has been experiencing discomfort in his hand, which has made it difficult for him to write replies to the Diwali wishes he has received from fans. .

Amitabh wrote, "I have been receiving greetings and gifts from so many well-wishers, and in such abundance that I am now running out of space to keep them. Not storing these gifts properly would amount to disrespecting them. Therefore, to all of you who have been sending gifts as expressions of your affection, I wish to convey my appreciation and acknowledgement. I am also making an effort to respond to each of you personally through letters.”

He added, "I really wanted to write these replies myself. However, I have been experiencing some discomfort in the hand, for writing, which has caused delay. I sincerely apologise (folded hands emoji). But what can one do? Circumstances have become such that apologising seems to come easily. One should seek forgiveness. After all, there is nothing wrong with asking for it. The other person may refuse, reject the apology, or understand and accept it. If they understand and accept the apology, my heart will be filled with happiness. If they do not, their mind will remain troubled.”

Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting the quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati. He will next be seen in Kalki 2.
