During an interview with IANS in Mumbai on May 2 Bachachan says Blog is my extended family where I shares my day-to-day life with my fans and now i am looking forward to see the faces of those who regularly visit my blog.
Superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who completed a year of blogging April 17, doesn’t want to tag his online friends who enrich his life as “faceless”.
I dont want my fans to be faceless . ‘Faceless’ is a harsh term. I refer to them as my ‘extended family’. They live in me. They show love, affection and concern to me. They get upset at times and reprimand me… they miss me when I am not there on time. Are not all these wonderfully domesticated attributes?
“And now Big Adda (the website that hosts his blog) is developing software and my readers will be able to put up their photographs on the blog against their name. So they shall no longer be ‘faceless’,” the Big B told IANS in an interview.
A sneak peek at how the Bollywood stars spent the day. Amitabh Bachchan: "Nothing! We’re celebrating no Holi this year. Yes, I know our home is an open house on Holi every year. Hopefully we’ll be back to celebrating Holi next year. "This year too many tragic events have happened around us. On a personal level, my father’s passing away then my mother’s prolonged illness have suspended Holi celebrations in my house. And then, of course, the things that are happening in Mumbai city and the country. Do you think anyone is in the mood for celebration? We’re not. Maybe next year." Preity Zinta: "What am I doing for Holi? Nothing. Sleeping the whole day. Recovering from my jet lag after my trip to New Zealand. In any case, I think Holi has lost its original spirit long back." Deepika Padukone: "I’ll have the day off. I’ll celebrate with my family and close friends." Farhan Akhtar: "For the time in living memory I won’t be home for Holi. I’ll be shooting abroad. It breaks my heart to miss Holi. Can’t be helped." Bipasha Basu: "I’ve no Holi plans. I’m allergic to the abeer and other Holi colours. I’ll spend Holi with my family, devouring Holi delicacies. It’s a diet-free day for me." Abhishek Bachchan: "I’ll be shooting. No Holi this year at home. Just work." Genelia D’Souza: "I’ll be shooting In Delhi on Holi." Rajeev Khandelwal: "I’m shooting for ‘Peter Gaya Kaam Se’ in Goa. I’ll be experiencing the Goan Holi for the first time." Hurman S. Baweja: "I’ll be shooting in Delhi for ‘It’s My Life’. I think my lightmen, camera crew, director and co-stars will be my Holi victims. Watch out, here I come." Himesh Reshammiya: "As always I prefer to work on auspicious days. I’ll be recording a new song for ‘Ishq Unplugged’ on Holi." Urmila Matondkar: "I’m not much of a Holi person. I’ll be chilling at home watching some good movies and hoping no one gets rowdy with women who have to step out of their homes." Irrfan Khan: "I’ll be in Dholpur shooting for ‘Paan Singh Tomar’ on Holi. We’ll celebrate over there. After ‘Billu’ and ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ I’m in a festive mood." Manisha Koirala: "I’m throwing a party for close friends at the Marriot." Celina Jaitley: "This Holi I’m in Hyderabad. I’ll be spending it with the cast and crew."

Bollywood Star Amitabh Bachchan, who was discharged on Friday from the Lilavati Hospital here after being treated for an abdominal condition, has thanked his fans for their good wishes but has hit out at the media for being "insensitive" while reporting on his illness.
“My sincerest thanks to all who gave me strength to fight another medical battle. The fans and well wishers. The media friends who wrote in on my mobile. Friends who visited me at the hospital and those that wrote in. Strangers who I never met or know,” Amitabh wrote on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com Friday.
“Your love overwhelms me. Your concern for my well being humbles me. I owe so much to you,” the blog further read.
Amitabh slammed the media in the blog and mocked at their paparazzi approach when he was being taken to hospital in an ambulance after he had complained of abdominal pain on his 66th birthday Oct 11.
“There is a muted silence outside…No one says a word, except the media. They clamour and scream for that exclusive shot, invading the sanctity of the ambulance. They would never understand the sensitivity of the situation,” he wrote.
He added: “Media is an added hindrance to a smooth, quick emergent ride to Nanavati. If they had their way they would ideally want to be seated on the stretcher with me and have me answering questions – ‘What would be the celebrations for the birthday sir and will you be inviting Shah Rukh’. Insensitive. Callous.”
The star said he had plans of “rest and recuperation” at his Jalsa home apart from giving company to the women in his house for a quick glance of the moon from the roof to break their fast on “Karva Chauth”, which he termed a “torturous practice”.Current Rating
Here is the film review of the Last Lear. Director Rituparno Ghosh has managed to extract stellar performances from Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Shefali Shah and Bachchan once again proves why he is a legend.
Excerpt from review:
The Last Lear is actually a series of dramatic dialogues sewn together in a pastiche that suggests pain to be the constant sublimal text of all human interaction.
The film is littered with luminous performances. If Divya Dutta is quiet and warm in her small role Shefali Shah simply takes over the screen each time she walks into the frames. Here’s an actress who forces you to watch her. And after Rock On Arjun Rampal delivers another pain-lashed performance, giving to the director’s role a resonance that takes it to an inexpected level of sensitivity. Read more »

“The premiere had been called off due to security reasons. The decision was taken following the attack on multiplex by a small group of miscreants this morning,” Shubho Shekhar Bhattarcharjee, CEO of Planman Motion Pictures, producers of the movie, said. Read more »
