I'm ordinary and ignorant: Amitabh
"Suddenly many invitations to inaugurate book releases, conferences, chief guests at important events!! I am not qualified for them! My profession does not give me the obvious authority to be the most knowledgeable and justified endorser of various entities!" the veteran actor posted on Twitter.
"...And age does not necessarily indicate mature insight and vision, despite the grey and the glasses... I am still ordinary and ignorant," he added.
Amitabh promotes causes like eradication of polio, and is a tourism ambassador of Gujarat. On the global platform, he is considered to be an ambassador of Bollywood, seen as one of India's soft power. However, Big B does not find it feasible for him to talk about anything and everything, just because he is a popular star.
"Kind words and gentle demeanour shall not always translate to impressive epithets .. certain basics need to be in place...Being a host on a TV show or an appreciated artist in film, does not become justified qualification, for every other responsibility!
"Gravest fallacy - just because you work in a public domain, does not mean wisdom and wealth of acumen in all walks! So a regret in attendance is then construed as ill behaved arrogance...or undeserved ego...," he posted further.
The 69-year-old veteran was last seen as the host of the fifth season of game show "Kaun Banega Crorepati".
He had two releases this year – "Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap" and "Aarakshan".

@truer muslim: This ideology of yours is the exact reason why Pakistan is in this state today...
The fact that he understands and says this is proof enough that he is way wiser and less ignorant than most others.
@TrueMuslim:
are you really a true muslim???. Learn to respect other releigons too
To achieve greatness and not be jahil amitabh ji you have only one option - accept the only true religion of Islam. Look at all khans how nice and knowledgeable they are. Of course no compulsion in religion if you don't want greatness and want to risk your afterlife. May Allah give you hidaayat.
@Kazmis...tell me you are not serious......
I think it is not necessary one must have acumen of all walks of life for attending any event as a chief guest. After spending more than 50 years in this world, at least you can share a few words with the audience. Amitabh je you are loved that is why you are invited. If you could attend an event, do it.
Well said by Mr. Amitabh Bachchan!! His generosity and modesty I found in this post. I think whatever he said pretty true and after achieving grand honor in the life, Mr. Bachchan still believes he is ordinary and ignorant. That's the best quality of his attitude. Thanks
No Mr Bachan is not a modest person. Overall he is aged one and had lot of experience of life with him. His attitude toward Khans of Bombay (Mumbai) is not fair and does not suits to any person even illiterate one. His attitude toward his son marriage and not showing any video or photograph was also not appreciable after all a large number of person were interested in his occasion. We must admit he is a public figure and he must admit this truth. Same case in going in his grand daughter's case. Poor thinking of big B.
Mr Bachchan is a modest and nice person. People of the previous generations were a lot more good natured as compared to the present day arrogant youngsters. This world has been slightly better due to modest people of the older generations. What will happen to this earth when all the good natured older generation departs and this world is filled only with the mean and ego centric youngsters?
