Amitabh Bachchan Gets Emotional on Mother’s Birth Anniversary, Pays Pictorial Tribute

The actor then shared excerpts from the letter, which were, “affection, regard and love, when it comes gradually and keeps growing is more permanent, because it has passed the test of time. Time spares no one”.

“Ever since I was a child I have valued home life above everything else. It is the one thing I am sure of and it’s the whole point of my being with my children. Once they have been well loved, whatever life holds for them, they’ll have known that security and love behind them. It will be their strength to carry them through their whole lives. Have you ever noticed that it is the ones who haven’t been loved who grow up to hate so much? I believe in the emancipation of women but not at the cost of ones home. For in their emancipation women are losing what has always made them emotionally superior to men – their tenderness and essential warmth of heart,” she wrote in the letter.

“I have only loved and loved wisely. For love never asks for anything, except perhaps a smile or two.. Love asks not, “What can you give to me?” But, “What can I give to you?”.. this has been my personal philosophy , with regard to my husband, my sons and my friends,” she concluded.
