Bangkok / Press Trust of India
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan said on Saturday there have been instances when abusive comments were put up by people on his blog but maintained that he will continue to write since the platform provides him a chance to interact with his fans.
"There have been abuses on the blog as well. But, I try my best to respond to it with equal candour," Bachchan said, adding if he has opened the doors of his house to all, he was open to criticism as well.
"I have directed Bigadda.com, which manages the server of my blog that there should be no infiltration or moderation," he told reporters in Bangkok.
Bachchan, however, maintained that through the blog he has got a chance to speak to his fans. "I value inputs from the bloggers about my attitude, conduct and creativity."
The Bollywood star also pledged support to Nobel laureate Dr R K Pachauri's efforts to create awareness among the people that nearly 1.6 billion people in the world are without electricity.
"I am waiting for his directives on how I can be useful in this campaign," he added. Bachchan said he also supported the UNEP's efforts to plant one billion tree around the world.
Bachchan also explained to Western journalists how Indian films often touch the audiences in their real lives.
"I did a film called Baghbaan a few years ago, where selfish sons do not take care of their parents in their old age. But, the old parents decide that they can handle their lives if their children do not want them.
"A person of Indian origin from UK called the producer of the film Ravi Chopra one night and told him that he and his father had been living in London and had not met for last 25 years due to certain differences.
He told Ravi that he had just come out of the theatre after watching 'Baghbaan' and was going to meet his father to say sorry," Bachchan added.
