In a Diwali message shared on his Tumblr blog, the 89-year-old actor apologised for the delay in responding to their festive wishes and gifts, while expressing gratitude for their continued love and affection.

In his post, Amitabh explained that he has been trying to reply back to his fans but has not been able to keep up with the responses as quickly as he would have like. “I have been receiving greetings and gifts from so many well-wishers, and in such abundance that I am now running out of space to keep them. Not storing these gifts properly would amount to disrespecting them. Therefore, to all of you who have been sending gifts as expressions of your affection, I wish to convey my appreciation and acknowledgement. I am also making an effort to respond to each of you personally through letters," he wrote.
