Megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Friday paid tribute to his late father and one the most famous poets, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, on his 113th birth anniversary. The Shahenshah of Bollywood, who has been reciting poems of his ‘Babu Ji’ on public platforms since long, shared a post on Twitter with an intense couplet in remembrance of him.
“Mai Mahaan Kavye likhna chahta hu, mahakavye nahi! Par unhone mahaan kavye nahi likha aatmkatha ke roop me ‘mahakavye’ bhi racha hai. Gadhyatmak mahaakavye… Mahakavye me par- charit hota hai, isme svacharit hai. Bharat ke sarvaadhik lokpriye kaviyo me Bachchan ji ka sthaan surakshit ~” (“I want to write great poetry, not epic!” But not only did he write great poetry, he also composed “epic” in the form of autobiography. The proverbial epic …. is circulated in the epic, it is automatic. Bachchan ji’s place among India’s most popular poets is secured ~)
Big B also shared the images of his late parents. In the next tweet, the ‘Don’ star also penned a couplet to commemorate the great Indian poet.
T 3735 – “मैं महान काव्य लिखना चाहता हूँ, महाकाव्य नहीं !” पर उन्होंने महान काव्य ही नहीं लिखा आत्मकथा के रूप में “महाकाव्य” भी रचा है। गद्यात्मक महाकाव्य …. महाकाव्य में पर -चरित होता है, इसमें स्वचरित है।
