Don’t live in the shadows of people’s judgement, the actor tells his granddaughters

Amitabh Bachchan adores his granddaughters and we all know that. We are also aware that Big B is the new age grandfather who is not bound by the traditions and leanings towards the patriarchal society. Proving the fact, the megastar has penned letter to his lovely granddaughters, Aaradhya and Navya Naveli Nanda which will fill your heart with warmth and love. The words that Big B has inked in the letter are EXACTLY what we should be telling each and every single girl living in India.

The actor is coming out with a female oriented film Pink. While shooting the climax of the film the actor delivered such hard hitting dialogues with so much compassion and great acting that the females on the sets could not help but shed a tear. It was Amitabh himself who consoled the ;lead actress, Taapsee Pannu, of the film. Even this letter might stir a lot of emotions inside of you.
So without further adieu, here is the heartfelt letter that we have been raving about-
My very dearest Navya & Aaradhya
You both carry a very valuable legacy on your tender shoulders – Aaradhya, the legacy of your पर दादाजी, Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan…and Navya, the legacy of your पर दादाजी, Shri H P Nanda….
Both your पर दादाजी’s gave your present surnames celebrated fame, dignity and recognition !
Both of you maybe a Nanda or a Bachchan, but you are also girls…women !
And because you are women people will force their thinking, their boundaries on you.
They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go.
Don’t live in the shadows of people’s judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom.
Don’t let anyone make you believe that the length of your skirt is a measure of your character.
Don’t let anyone’s opinion of who you should be friends with, dictate who you will be friends with.
Don’t get married for any other reason other than you want to get married.
People will talk. They shall say some terrible things. But that doesn’t mean you have to listen to everyone. Never ever worry about – लोग क्या कहेंगे !
At the end of the day, you are the only one who will face the consequences of your actions, so don’t let other people make your decisions for you.
Navya – the privilege your name, your surname offers you, will not protect you from the difficulties you will face because you’re a woman.
Aaradhya – by the time you see and understand this, I may well not be around. But I think what I am saying today shall still be relevant.
This may be a difficult, difficult world to be a woman. But I believe that it is women like you that will change that.
It may not be easy, setting your own boundaries, making your own choices, rising above people’s judgement. But YOU !…you can set an example for women everywhere.
Do this and you would have done more than I have ever done, and it will be my honor to be known not as Amitabh Bachchan, but as your grandfather !!
With all my love
Your ….Dadaji ….your Nan
Aww….wasn’t that heartwarming? Navya and Aaradhya are sure to lucky gals. We hope each and every grandfather in the country takes a lesson from this letter and helps his granddaughter move ahead in life with head held in life, no matter if her choices aren’t what the society subscribes to.

Amitabh Bachchan is coming out with a female oriented drama Pink. The movie also stars Taapsee Pannu, Angad Bedi in key roles. The movie is said to be  a courtroom drama about a case of sexual assault. The movie looks pretty interesting from the teaser.
