In his blog, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “… but the day in its ‘karmveer’ slays the emotional threads and there is such deep emotion to the stories and they that work for them .. it moves to all in the flow of those water ducts that adorn our eyes .... the misery of them that have been subjected to poverty and helplessness .. of the work load to earn a living at such early ages .. to live and exist for others , but to live in themselves deprived .. difficult to bear the pain of them that suffer .. and to laud the determined work that some dedicated individuals do them is beyond all praise and mention …”

He also went on to add, “ … there are times when one cannot utter a word .. the innocence of their lives and living .. the conditions of pain that they suffer .. left alone in this wild world to fend for themselves .. until .. a saviour comes along to bring succour and courage in their lives .. they are the true gods and goddesses of our society …”

It seems like even the Angry Young Man of Bollywood has an appreciation for when suffering and pain are followed by self-belief and determination. Some of the KBC 12 episodes have been really enjoyable for fans, but this one seems to be extraordinarily inspiring for everyone.
