The cine icon opened up about his health battle in his blog, saying: “Lying around, skipping time to go by in rapid form…and reminiscing the work front by the day after…when there shall be the chair and the computerji and the audience”. “But first the left overs of incidents from the times of ”Don” and the cracks and breaks now playing up and placing themselves in important avenues which restrict movement, at times of this it may be of interest to the body but not the mind… So one listens to the body and many shall there be who will applaud and commit to say ”did we not tell you this to slow down”… Slow down? That”s what you tell the vehicle or the train on road and track,” he added.
He also expressed regret at not being able to attend the Kolkata International Film Festival this year. “Sad and in regret to not be able to travel for KIFF to Kolkata… an event that has invited me for years … I think now 7 years … and the speech … glorifying cinema and the research by educated assists from dear friends … gone … but there is communication established whether I could read it on video and send to them to be played at the closing,” the “Paa” star said.
He continued: “The occasion to attend such events … to be in the presence of an audience … to deliver … all such a frightening proposition … nerves on end … what to say, whether it shall be accepted, what if not … why must I accept such … just leave me alone … please … I am not capable of presence at all … but NO.” “They keep coming and refusal seems odd and at times misunderstood as being either difficult or arrogant, but yes it comes with the territory and needs attention and will and acceptance, so one bears, inadequate ever, but yet to show presence.”
