Amitabh Bachchan, who frequently shares life lessons on his blog, reminisced about his mother’s demise on the 110th anniversary of her birth.

Teji Bachchan, who was born in August 1917, passed away in December 2007. Superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s mother and social activist married Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. On the occasion of his mother’s 110th birthday, Sr. Bachchan wrote a heartfelt tribute on his Tumblr account. ‘Her strength, her warmth, her sense of etiquette and aesthetics were among his many admiration in the elaborate post. He also referred to Teji as ‘the most beautiful mother in history.’

“No pictures of her today in remembrance, none could do justice to her beauty. She slipped away as elegantly and quietly as was her temperament this morning as I watched the doctors struggle to revive her delicate heart, time and again .. pumping her delicate frame in vigorous pushes to get her to live again .. and again .. and again, ” read the text on social media post.

Amitabh Bachchan added, “We stood holding hands all of us near and dear .. the nieces and the children in tears .. until .. I spoke up .. leave it doc .. leave her .. she wishes to go .. stop .. do not make any more efforts .. each effort was painful for her system and painful for us to stand there and witness .. each time that ‘straight-line’ would appear .. and then shift to the graphic responses of the physical pumping .. stop it I said.”

Regarding his career, Amitabh Bachchan has started filming for the next season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The actor just shared the first image from the quiz show’s sets on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account. In the black and white image, Big B could be seen holding out his arms, seemingly welcoming the audience to the upcoming season of his program.
