Bachchan wrote that there have been so many occasions where all these questions were asked in the past and wonders what does one say on such reward except, 'Of course I am grateful.' He wrote: "has there been any occasion when all this has not been spoken of before .. what does one say on such reward .. of course I ma grateful to the GOI , the Ministry of I&B for their consideration .. but I feel I am truly undeserving of such recognition .. I am thankful to them that provided the impetus to be in the field .. writers, makers and of course the audience .. mostly the audience .. for they have been affectionate to me."

No .. I am being sensible .. I have nothing to say .. and honestly do not believe in my words forming the contours of a print or social platform, when I have indeed my Ef for all that needs to be shared."
