प्रार्थनाओं, सद भावनाओं की मूसलाधार बारिश ने
स्नेह रूपी बंधन का बांध तोड़ दिया है ;
बह गया, तर कर दिया मुझे इस अपार प्यार ने,
मेरे एकाकी पन के अंधेरे को जो तुमने,
प्रज्वलित कर दिया है
व्यक्तिगत आभार मैं व्यक्त न कर पाउँगा ,
बस शीश झुकाके नत मस्तक हूँ मैं 🙏
On Monday night, Amitabh thanked his fans and well-wishers for their messages of love. "The heavy rainfall of your prayers and good wishes has broken all the dams of affectionate bonds. I am flooded with so much love. I can't explain the way you have brightened the darkness of my isolation," he wrote in Hindi on Twitter. "I bow down to you," Amitabh Bachchan added.
