Actor Amitabh Bachchan penned a note correcting himself over a recent mistake. He took to his blog over the weekend, called himself an “idiot” and even apologised to his fans for attributing a song by late singer Bob Dylan to the Beatles.
Taking to his blog, Amitabh wrote, "Oh dear .. left very early for work and have had to time to meet the Ef here .. and I am desperately trying to finish the work so I can be at the GOJ in time ..But before that, a correction .. my apologies .. and my gratitude to the most efficient Ef for pointing it out to me.”
He added, "The 'the answer my friends is blowing in the wind …' is NOT the Beatles .. its Bob Dylan .. yes of course .. such an idiot I am .. so do excuse the error .. shall correct it immediately .. till then my love." Bob Dylan's ‘Blowin' in the Wind’ is from the 1963 album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.
The note comes about a blog he had written earlier. He wrote, "There are moments in life when you give .. give because you wish to .. no compulsion, no reward expected, no reason .. just to give ..Do I do wrong .. do I announce .. do I make that public .. do I seek aggrandisement from the others or the moral social attribute givers of the Universe .. ? ''The answer my friend is written in the Wind .. the answer is written in the Wind~ the Beatles (he struck off the two words) an atrocious error .. ~ its BOB DYLAN !!!!!”
He also added, "And so in this realm of uncertainty and resolve .. we survive .. and see the unfortunate that do not .. puzzled and remorse .. why they .. how they .. why the lag the difference the defined alienation .. they did some wrong .. the others did some right .. ? who decided that for them and who for the others .. ?”
On the work front, Bachchan is set to feature in ‘Project K,’ which also stars Deepika Padukone and Prabhas. It is a bilingual film shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. Amitabh will also be seen in Ribhu Dasgupta’s next courtroom drama film ‘Section 84.’
