New Delhi: Amitabh Bachchan on Tuesday took to social media to encourage COVID warriors at a time when India is combating the lethal second wave of the virus. In a video he tweeted, Big B recites a Hindi poem penned by his father, the late poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
The poem encourages a particular person to by no means hand over throughout a battle, to battle with all their power and to by no means bow down or cease halfway.
After reciting the poem, Amitabh Bachchan says within the video: “These words, written by my father Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan, are a clarion call that reminds us to never give up. They were written at a time the country faced a different crisis and challenge, but even today, they resonate. I believe these words celebrate the spirit of the Covid warriors, our frontline workers, who, as we all know, are sacrificing so much for all of us. It is time we support them and bolster the fight against Covid. This is our fight. We can all contribute in whatever way we can. We must all come together for India.”
