Bravery measured by deeds, not declarations: Big B

Bravery measured by deeds, not declarations: Big B

Mumbai, May 12 (UNI) Amid the ongoing Indo-Pak tension following the Pahalgam terror attack, superstar Amitabh Bachchan has lauded the valour of warriors, asserting that genuine courage is displayed through action on the battlefield, not through boastful rhetoric.

Bachchan, who has lately been posting a series of enigmatic blank tweets on X , broke his silence with a powerful message that pays homage to the spirit of selfless service and bravery.

In a post late Saturday night, Bachchan quoted a line from Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas and wrote, 'Soor Samar Karni Karahin, Kahi Na Janavahin Aap.' Explaining the meaning of the line, he wrote, "The meaning of the line is that the brave show their valour in the war, they do not boast of it in words. This line is taken from the Laxman-Parshuram dialogue of Tulsidas ji's Ramcharitmanas, that the brave show their valour in the battlefield, while the faint-hearted seek validation through noise.

In a deeply evocative continuation, Bachchan turned to immortal lines penned by his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, recalling verses composed during 1965 India-Pakistan war, words that earned him the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award in 1968. Bachchan wrote, "Words that have expressed , greater truth than ever .. a poet and his vision far greater than ever .. words of Babuji written around the 1965 war with Pakistan , we won and were victorious , which and for which he received the prestigious Sahitya Academy Award in 1968 .. that is almost 60 years ago .. 60 years ago a vision that still breathes the present circumstances !!"
