In a previous post, Amitabh shared he has been emotional over the ‘images and feelings’ in the course of the last few days. Amitabh began in his blog, “Images and feelings of the past days still linger and the mind and body is unresponsive to the routine of work .. But they keep saying that 'the show must go on' .. whoever said this may have meant good and with some positivity, but they that suffer, bear the brunt of the sadness that still remains to be filtered ..”

He went on to add, “The crew of KBC took me out after the days' work to dine with them .. a fine South Indian place .. delicious food and company .. but the heart mourns .. more so because none of them knew that it was Babuji's birth Anniversary .. to each his own ..”

Big B's portrayal of Ashwatthama in the sci-fi drama won hearts, and the film became a massive success, grossing over ₹1,000 crore worldwide.
