Amitabh
Bachchan
has
shared
a
new
video,
in
which
he
recites
a
poem
written
by
his
father
Harivansh
Rai
Bachchan.
Titled
'Hai
Andheri
Raat
Par
Diva
Jalaana
Kab
Mana
Hai',
the
poem
is
relevant
to
the
ongoing
situation
in
India,
with
the
lockdown
to
fight
the
spread
of
Novel
Coronavirus
(COVID-19).
Sharing
the
video
on
Twitter,
Amitabh

my

The

In
the
video,
Big
B
can
be
seen
reading
the
poem
from
an
old
book,
with
his
voiceover
reading
out
the
actual
lines.
In
the
second
bit,
Amitabh
sings
the
poem
to
the
tunes
of
Tabla.

Explaining
how
the
video
was
made
in
this
time
of
social
distancing,
Amitabh
wrote
on
his
blog
post,
"AND
..
also
in
simultaneous
work
on
the
poem
of
hope
from
Babu
ji
..
rendering
it
here
..
con
calls
with
recordist
there
..
music
directors
in
another
there
..
they
be
two
in
respective
homes
and
no
studio
set
ups
..
but
the
ingenious
working
force
and
minds
successful
..
it
is
after
72
attempts
that
it
looks
like
going
on
platforms
..
perhaps
to
day
..
perhaps
..
apprehensive
for
that
too
..
how
what
where
and
when
..
ahhhh
..
just
let
it
be
say
the
girls
in
the
house
..
the
main
girl
stuck
away
from
home
in
Delhi
..
attending
Parliament
when
the
shut
happened
..
so
she
remain
where
she
is
..
and
Face
Time
WhatsApp
..
ZINDABAD
!!"
He
also
wrote
how
the
imagery
of
his
father
is
too
emotional
for
him
as
he
remembered
him
while
writing
the
post.
"This
post
is
sounding
like
a
brain
damaged
'haemoglobin
of
the
country
of
the
system'
devoured
and
entirely
consumed
by
the
chemical
ChSo2
..
sorry
that
be
a
College
insensitive
linguaexpletiva
..
!!!!
Pardoń
..
is
the
French
right
..
eh
..
who
cares
..
BUT
..
I
tell
you
..
in
all
this
mesmerising
work
schedule
..
the
imagery
of
Babuji
his
words
his
thoughts
his
books
his
voice
keep
me
company
in
excess
..
they
bring
the
water
in
the
eyes
..
I
must
leave
now
..
cannot
allow
it
to
drip
on
the
post
pages
..," he
wrote.
