As soon as the news of Shweta Bachchan Nanda’s father-in-law Rajan Nanda’s demise took place earlier this week, Amitabh Bachchan changed his shooting schedule for Ayan Mukherjee’s Brahmastra in Bulgaria and flew back home to be with his daughter. Big B who keeps updating his social media and blog to keep fans updated of his whereabouts, recently shared an emotional poem as a farewell to his ‘samdhi’.
“The soul cannot be burnt by fire, nor drenched by water, nor dried by the wind, nor pierced by an arrow. The thought, therefore, is that ‘atma’ is eternal… the soul is eternal and therefore rests in peace,” read an excerpt from Amitabh Bachchan’s blog, which he posted after attending Rajan Nanda‘s prayer meet in Delhi.
“Prayers… condolences… the ‘pagri’ ceremony… folded hands in gratitude. The elder of the family has gone… the next elder has been given the ‘pagri’ of its seniority,” the 75-year-old megastar added.
Nanda, died on Sunday night at a hospital in Gurgaon after a brief illness at the age of 76. He was the chairman of Escorts Group and was married to Raj Kapoor’s eldest daughter Ritu Nanda.
