Considering that his work has spanned several decades, Amitabh Bachchan has influenced fans across generations. While the young lot celebrates him for the quirks he displays as the affable host of Kaun Banega Crorepati, baby boomers still remember him for his iconic movies. The megastar appears to agree. “[I was] surprised when I looked into the mirror; this face that I see now was something else at another time, some years ago,” he wrote, questioning which avatar his fans relate to the most.

There are a few more people who want to click selfies with me now. I’m loving [the attention]. But I don’t take adulation or rejection very seriously. I’m taking each day as it comes.”

Suman Kumar, who is known for penning the scripts of acclaimed shows like The Family Man and Guns & Gulaabs, has shared that while writers have received more attention since the OTT boom, they are yet to get their due. “Writers deserve more recognition for the effort they pour into shaping a narrative, and I believe their names should be on movie posters alongside the directors and actors. They are, after all, the architects of the story. We spend months crafting stories, yet recognition rarely extends beyond the credits. That’s why I voice my opinion— writers deserve to be visible, and have their names on posters,” he shared.
