'Daan diya jaata hai; uski charcha nahin ki jaati': Amitabh Bachchan shares powerful message on selfless acts in new blog post

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan earns a huge fan following due not only to his magnificent film roles but also to his attractive behaviour. Now, the 'Black' actor has shared a powerful message on the true meaning of charity. Taking to his blog, Bachchan expressed his belief that acts of kindness should remain private. The actor emphasized that charity should focus on helping others. According to him, charity should not be used for personal recognition.

Amitabh Bachchan opines on charity

In his blog, Amitabh Bachchan shared his philosophy on giving. He explained that the true value of charity lies in its impact, not its publicity. He wrote, "Jab aap kuch denge, to aap ko milega bhi jab daan dete hain, to uska phal avashya milta hai. Dene ke baad use yaad rakhna, mere mann ke anusar nahin. Main uski charcha nahin karta. Charcha karke kya mil jayega aapko? Jise mila, uske dukh dard agar door ho gaye, to wahi sabse moolya yogdaan hua." (“When you give something, you will receive something in return; when you donate, it certainly bears fruit. But after giving, I do not believe in holding on to it or remembering it. I do not talk about it. What do you gain by discussing it? If the person who received it has their pain and suffering eased, that itself is the most valuable contribution.”)

Critique of self-praise culture

Amitabh Bachchan also addressed the tendency of people to publicize their good deeds. He noted that such actions often shift the focus away from the beneficiary.

Bachchan said, "Aapke charcha karne se, aap apni baat ki badhoti, tareef kar rahe hain, apna laabh dekh rahe hain aap. Nahin, jise diya hai, laabh use hona chahiye, aur yeh keval jise diya hai, use pata hai. Aapko woh batane ki avashyakta nahin, kyunki phir aap apni tareef kar rahe hain!" "(By talking about it, you are only amplifying your own actions, praising yourself, and looking for personal gain. No-the benefit should belong to the one who received it, and only they truly know it. There is no need for you to speak about it, because then you are simply praising yourself.)"

Bachchan added, "Bahut se log aisa karte hain, par main nahin karta. Kya mil jayega bhaiya karne se? Daan diya jaata hai; uski charcha nahin ki jaati. Aisa mera maanna hai, aur maanna rahega. Chale hain, kaam pe." "(Many people do this, but I don't. What do you really gain from it, brother? Charity is meant to be given, not talked about. This is what I believe, and I will continue to believe. Now, off to work.)"

With respect to the work front, Big B was last seen in the south films 'Kalki 2898 AD' and the Rajinikanth starrer 'Vettaiyaan'.
