Emotional
Big
B
Talks
About
Om
Puri
''Life's
suddenness
astounds
us
all.
He
was
a
friend,
an
affable,
loving
colleague,
a
dynamic
talent...
now
lost...
just
like
that...
in
a
whisper
that
invaded
our
modern
communication
system.
I
went
to
his
cremation.
And
at
the
crematorium,
the
flashes
of
the
night
cameras,
blinding
the
path
to
the
bereaved
family,
were
in
existence,
too.
Of
their
profession,
that
is
their
most
important
chore
for
the
day.''
''At
that
moment,
my
main
concern
was
to
hold
my
friend's
son
in
an
embrace
and
transfer
strength
to
him
in
his
young
world.
Not
much
to
be
said
to
an
18-year
old
who
has
lost
his
father.
‘Be
strong',
is
all
I
could
muster.
What
else
could
I
say?
What
else
can
anyone
say?
They
have
lost
personally
and
in
relation,
shall
bear
the
end,
with
greater
sorrow.
I
stood
in
silence,
head
to
the
ground,
the
other
condoling
visitors,
stood,
too.''
Amitabh
Bachchan
On
His
Films
Pink,
Wazir
&
Te3n
''All
the
films
were
challenging
and
gave
me
opportunities
to
play
different
roles.
It's
the
norm
now
with
me
and
my
select
offerings
from
prospective
producers.''
Pink
Was
Most
Impressive
In
Its
Issue
"I
would
like
to
believe
that
every
film
I
did
had
an
influence
-
good
or
bad
was
for
the
audiences
to
decide.
Pink
was,
topical
and
most
impressive
in
its
issue
and
left
the
nation
with
its
most
dynamic
tagline:
"No
means
NO"!''
''Its
critical
and
commercial
success
lent
credence
to
what
the
story
had
set
out
to
do,
and
I
am
proud
to
have
been
a
small
part
of
it."
How
Dangerous
The
World
Has
Become
For
Women
"It
was
gratifying
to
be
able
to
put
across,
in
a
most
succinct
manner,
the
turmoil
and
trauma
that
women
in
our
country
are
subjected
to
and
to
have
subtly
brought
to
the
foreground,
thoughts
and
beliefs
that
were
most
probably
discussed
behind
closed
doors.''
''While
a
film
like
Pink
addresses
the
issue
of
sexual
violation,
an
incident
as
shameful
as
the
mass
molestation
during
New
Year's
Eve
comes
along
to
remind
us
of
how
dangerous
the
world
has
become
for
women."
