Mumbai, Oct 25 (TheTrendingPeople.com): Megastar Amitabh Bachchan took a moment to share profound reflections on the passage of time and its impact on people, culture, and life, while also mourning the sudden loss of a young team member from his Kabaddi team, Jaipur Pink Panthers.
The Bollywood icon, known for his introspective writings, shared an emotional entry on his official blog, blending philosophical musings with heartfelt grief.
“Times Change, The World Changes”: Big B on Transformation
Writing in his signature reflective tone, the veteran actor began by observing how time transforms everything — from habits and attitudes to culture and people themselves.
“Times change, the world changes… attitudes, habits change, culture changes… people change. They that were then, are not now, and soon they that are 'now' shall in time be in reference of the 'then',” Bachchan wrote.
The 82-year-old star reflected on how the past should be remembered, not mourned. “Lamentations from the ‘then’ keep echoing in the times of now… they shall simply remain a memory. Let them be in memory. Lamenting upon it shall be an exertive waste upon your system,” he added, encouraging readers to cherish memories without dwelling on regret.
Remembering His Father’s Wisdom
Bachchan also invoked the timeless verses of his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, one of India’s most celebrated poets. He shared that his father’s words continue to resonate deeply, even decades after they were written.
“After so many years of its writing, it still reverberates and has meaning. That be the vision and depth of the poet and his poetry,” the actor reflected.
He noted that both the “old” and the “new” generations must learn from one another, preserving a bridge between tradition and change — an insight that has defined Bachchan’s worldview for years.
A Tragic Loss: Remembering Vedant Devadiga
Alongside his reflections on time and memory, Bachchan expressed sorrow over the tragic death of Jaipur Pink Panthers’ Assistant Manager, Vedant Devadiga, who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 22.
Describing the loss as “tragic and heartbreaking,” he wrote: “Our team Jaipur Pink Panthers suddenly and tragically lost our Asst. Manager… most loved by the team, its players and all… just 22 years old and we have lost him.”
The Jaipur Pink Panthers, a Pro Kabaddi League franchise co-owned by Bachchan’s son Abhishek Bachchan, has been one of the league’s most prominent teams since its inception.
Team Chooses to Play in His Honour
Despite the tragedy, Bachchan revealed that the team decided to play their next match to honour Devadiga’s memory.
“The team, as I had said, was determined to play, despite our offer of forfeiting the game the next day — to not just honour him but to grieve also his sudden departure. But the team insisted on playing, for his memory,” he wrote.
In an emotional gesture, the youngest team member reportedly wore Vedant’s name on his headband during the match as a mark of respect.
Bachchan concluded the post by expressing his deep admiration for the team’s strength and unity, writing, “My respect for him, for the team, and my wishes.”
The Timeless Voice of a Legend
Amitabh Bachchan’s words once again reflect why he remains one of India’s most enduring voices — not just in cinema, but also as a chronicler of life’s deeper meanings. His reflections, blending personal loss with philosophical insight, remind fans of the ephemeral yet beautiful nature of time.
From invoking his father’s poetry to honouring a young life lost too soon, Bachchan’s latest blog stands as both a tribute and a meditation — on life, loss, and the inevitability of change.
