Amitabh Bachchan, the iconic Bollywood superstar, and son of the legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, recently shared a poignant memory about an emotional confrontation with his father. In a 2008 blog post, Amitabh revealed that during his college years, he was grappling with the transition from boarding school to the complexities of adult life. Overwhelmed by the pressures, he angrily confronted his father, questioning the very reason for his existence. “Why did you give birth to me? Aapne humein paida kyun kiya?” he recalled shouting, with pent-up emotions.
Harivansh Rai, initially surprised, responded by silently empathizing with his son. The next day, he handed Amitabh a poem titled “Nayi Leek” (A New Path), which poetically addressed his son’s existential query. The poem reflected on the generational cycle of asking why one was born and suggested a new beginning where future generations could seek such consent. Harivansh Rai concluded by implying that new, progressive thinking was needed: “Why don’t you make a new beginning, a new thinking, ask your sons before giving birth to them.”
Amitabh shared this intimate exchange in his blog to convey a life lesson. He encouraged his fans to avoid harboring excuses or laying blame for their life circumstances. “There are no excuses in life and no blame. Every morning is a fresh challenge. Either you learn to pick up the gauntlet and fight or learn to surrender to it,” Amitabh wrote, emphasizing resilience and self-reliance.
Harivansh Rai Bachchan passed away in 2003, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire. His profound impact on Amitabh’s life remains evident, as the actor frequently recites his father’s poems and reminisces about their time together.
