A fan's open letter to Abhishek Bachchan

Guys you seriously need to do something about your dad. He has not only gone completely senile and berserk but now he does not even consider it mandatory to drape his disgusting and dishonorable acts but instead go about protecting and promoting them.

Unfortunately none of us knew Amitabh was so stupid or so arrogant that he would not only take up roles like he did in Bunty or Babli, KANK or Nishabd but also shamelessly promote and defend his actions. It seems Amitabh has promised himself that he must beat to pulp that image he had created once upon a time, and disown himself of the love, affection and admiration he was given by millions wordwide. It is not he who is so much to blame as much as us who showered our respect and admiration on him because it was we who erred in judgment. He most likely was just another ordinary man or maybe worse because even an ordinary man looks up in the mirror and faces his conscience once in a while. Even he lets go of a few bucks if it were to prevent moral decadence.

The argument that AB has consistently maintained is that he is only an actor or that he is not answerable to any moral values is as shallow and as hollow as his actions. Even a kid knows that media and movies have a wider reach and anyone who gets media attention becomes a role model of sorts. And which acting is he defending? Tell him that it is not hard to express lecherous behavior anytime, anywhere to anyone irrespective of age, relationship, gender, profession or anything else. What is hard is to keep such thoughts and fantasies in check because they have a treacherous impact on values, on way of life, on relationships, on everything that is wholesome ….or do you consider all this degradation as a norm or way of life in your society? On the one hand you guys go around temples and shrines praying and portraying a picture of a spiritually inclined, traditional family and on the other hand you let your dad take up roles that raise every hair in one's body.

Modernism is not defying all morals or all decorum. Modernism is maintaining all of that even in a world of material affluence.

Freedom is not realization of all fantasies however filthy but feeling for society and doing your duty as a good samaritan giving back to society what it has given you so far.

Amitabh’s words, “Senility does not signify end of desire” will haunt him for the rest of his life and I hope it does. He has succeeded in killing the pure and protective bonds of affection and love that existed between a grand father and a girl his grand daughter’s age and encouraged its transformation to something sick, repulsive and disgusting ....!!

After all they say man makes his own destiny…… Mr. Bachchan has carved out his grave well. A grave that will bury all that he was given for so many years by all of us. He does not consider it his moral responsibility to give back anything. Even dons and mafia men must be having some protocols but people like Bachchan who have thrived on what was given to him by the public show an audacity to not even be answerable to us and shirk off all moral or social responsibility.

Listen Abhishek, Shweta….tell your dad to pack up and retire. The time has come. Let him not murder himself; let him not commit this suicide, please….

As to Nishabd - take it from me, it will be a SUPER FLOP movie. People from all corners of the world will be offended by this movie. And that is the truth.
