Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan has bagged a prestigious award at Saudi Arabia. Reportedly, Amitabh Bachchan got Lifetime Achievement Award at 2023 Joy Awards for his contribution to the Indian films.
Sharing the news on his social media platforms, Amitabh Bachchan wrote:“My immense gratitude for your affection and care .. and for the honour ..” and shared a video speech.
In his speech, Amitabh Bachchan said it will be his first visit to Saudi but surely won’t be his last.
“I’ve always believed that cinema is a medium of entertainment, and it is a medium that brings people together and integrates human society.
We come from different walks of life and come from different paths of the world, but when we watch something, we laugh at the same jokes and cry at the same things. We come together at one platform.
My father, a great poet – during the last days of his life, he used to watch a Hindi film every evening, sometimes repeating the same film every time.
I asked him what is it that you find interesting in cinema. He said that I get poetic justice in three hours. You and I won’t get poetic justice in a lifetime or several lifetimes.
That’s the power of cinema. I’m proud to be a very small part of the film industry of my country.
When you honour me today, you honour the film industry of my country, you honour my country”, said BigB in his speech.
On the movies front, Amitabh Bachchan has Prabhas starrer Project K and Bollywood filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai in the pipeline.
