DEFINING THE UNDEFINABLE-Mr. Amitabh Bacchan

Yet another season of Kaun Banega Crorepati has begun.The most interesting and alluring thing about the show,of course other than the magical prize money which has changed and will keep changing the lives of the common man making them not so common,is the 75 years yet not so old human being-Mr. Amitabh Bacchan.
Whenever I think of this finest human being,I fall short of words.Such is the charisma of this gentleman.Being at this stage of age the persona and poise he has for his work in life surprises and mesmerizes me and makes me fall short of the various emoticons that run inside me.The man truly defining his statement "Buddha hoga tera baap."
The command he has on all the languages that he speaks is commendable. In fact,my fascination towards Hindi language was revived because of him.The romantic way with which he speaks the language makes you fall in love with the language.At times when he speaks Bengali,even if I don't understand a word I want him to go on and on.Though being the Shehenshah of Bollywood he is the most grounded,humble and well connected with his fans.
It doesn't seem strange to me when I hear the 1970s & 80s stories of people waiting for long in front of his house to just catch a glimpse of this "Biggest B" and shaking hands with him for someone can be the last wish on Earth.
The only thing I don't like is the way people have given him the place of God and taken the liberty and flexibility of being wrong.He has to and has to be correct and can't commit any human error in his speech,thoughts and daily living as he is the God father for many and is under constant scrutiny of fans.Though he is executing his responsibility perfectly by being correct but somewhere,sometimes I think that it must be suffocating for him to be bang on every single time.
Talking of "being wrong" reminds me of the phase when,based on the media reports,Amitabh Bacchan was highly criticised for falling in love with the yesteryear's actor Rekha.The time when various top magazines reported that even being married to Jaya he wanted to go with Rekha and disappointed his very loyal audience as they didn't expect their Vijay to be morally wrong.
But never the less,now he has double the fan following which he is very well managing and is continuing to be the Baap of Bollywood.
