Amitabh Bachchan slept with loaded revolver during Mumbai Terror Attacks!!

Amitabh Bachchan writes in his blog that he slept with a gun under his pillow after Mumbai terror attacks. Why did he do that? He says that

to show his "complete loss of faith in the system and governance" and criticised gestures like lighting candles.

"The act of pulling out my revolver is a symbolic metaphor, a figure of speech, to demonstrate my complete loss of faith in the system and in the governance, in providing me, a citizen of India, with my rightful sense of security,"

Congratulations!! Mr. Bachchan, that you are able to pull out a revolver for your safety. Mr. Bachchan! what would you suggest to someone who has to catch a local train/BEST to go to work/home. How does he or she protect himself/herself? How does a elderly man shown here at Victoria Terminus protect himself? or how does a child (recovering in a hospital from injuries after mumbai terror attacks) protect himself?

Mr. Bachchan how about using your influence/stature to generate pressure on folks in New Delhi to bring about changes/improvements in Intelligence Gathering, security measures.

Blog Fever/War hits Bollywood

Guess what? Amitabh Bachchan is now blogging. Now that Big B has entered the blogging world its just a matter of time before other Bollywood stars start blogging. The other Bollywood Star that has his own blog is Aamir Khan. Do you know of any other Bollywood Stars with their own blogs?

With these blogs have come controversies. BBC is reporting that

Veteran superstar, Amitabh Bachchan, on his blog, first described Shah Rukh Khan's new television quiz show as a flop.

Now he says his comments have been misunderstood by the media.

Aamir Khan, star of such Bollywood blockbusters as Lagaan and Mangal Pandey, has caused displeasure by blogging about his pet dog, Shahrukh - note the change in the spelling.

The canine, it seems, is always begging for attention and licking his feet. What's more, the dog is "too smelly".

Khan has gone on the defensive, saying he had nothing to do with the naming of the dog.

"In fact Shahrukh is the dog of the caretakers of our house. When I bought this house it came with the caretakers and their dog! Apparently Shahrukh (the actor) was shooting for a commercial in this house a few years ago, and that very day the caretakers bought a pup, and named him Shahrukh," Khan says.
