'Convictions can never be betrayed': Big B
Speaking about how Raksha Bandhan affects the morality of society or ‘samaj’, Amitabh Bachchan remarked that humans 'possess centuries-old traditions, which makes them valuable in the essence of behavioural convictions’. Adding to the same, Big B remarked that such ‘convictions can never be betrayed or dissolved, as they are the crafted genius of writings on stone’.
