Don´t disrespect mother tongue of others: Big B

- Planet Bollywood Special Correspondant           Let us know what you think about this story

Mumbai, Oct 28 (PTI) Faced with a mixed response for writing his blog in Hindi, megastar Amitabh Bachchan has said that he would not hesitate to express his sentiments in his mother tongue. "If I have an opportunity to express some of my sentiments in my mother tongue, I shall not hesitate to do so, whether there is someone to read it or not. I have always maintained a balance in my life and in my conduct. I shall continue with that," Bachchan wrote on his blog.

"If a thought in English needs to be put in Hindi, I shall endeavour to do that and vice-versa. The English language also is a great absorber of other tongues within its European ambiance," Big B said.

"We must never disrespect the mother tongue of others, neither their belief nor their importance," he wrote on his blog.

"There is some consternation among a few of you about the writings in Hindi. They want a translation and some even threaten to leave the post altogether," Bachchan said.

"While some readers have great amount of gratefulness and support for my foray into Hindi as they do not know the English language or are not so familiar with it. They said this is generous and kind," the Bollywood icon has observed.
