Amitabh Bachchan pens a heartfelt poem post eye surgery

MUMBAI: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has penned down a poem detailing his present medical condition.

The Big B shared a short poem with his army of fans on his blog. He shared the poem in Hindi but also translated it into English for the benefit of his fans who are not well versed in the language.

The actor, who had revealed about the eye surgery on March 1, also expressed his gratitude to fans for their well wishes in the poem.

“I am without sight, but sightless not in my path, I am without convenience, but never inconvenienced,” he began. “A gracious opulent heart, doth blossom with gratitude… For some time i am but time bound now. For the prayers I get I am folded hands bound, yes folded hands bound… Ever folded hands bound,” he wrote.

“Eye surgeries at this age are delicate and need precision handling. The best is being done and one hopes all shall be well. The sight and the recovery is slow and difficult so if there are typing errors they are to be excused,” Bachchan had posted.

He had hoped to fully recover before the shoot of his next film with director Vikas Bahl. Bachchan has four films lined up for release, including fantasy-adventure “Brahmastra”; Ajay Devgn”s “Mayday”; thriller “Chehre” and sports-drama “Jhund”.
