TIL Desk Bollywood/ She is often asked ‘What makes her father Amitabh Bachchan cool?’ and Shweta Bachchan-Nanda feels it’s the megastar’s ability to adapt to the changing times that makes him relevant even for today’s generation. Bachchan, 74, took to his blog to share an emotional letter penned by his daughter on his 73rd birthday, in which Shweta describes what it takes to be the “living legend” he is.
“…After many hours of agonising over the correct answer to the question ‘What makes your father COOL?’ it dawns on me that there is no secret formula. He is a prolific adaptor to changing circumstances. It is as simple and as difficult as that.
“He harbours none of the disdain age has for youth: he doesn’t screw up his nose to the music, art or sartorial sensibilities of the generations that have succeeded him. In fact, he’s adjusted himself to find harmony in all of it. He is never outdated, be it the newest technological fad the Apple watch, for instance or mastering social media. He’s on top of it all, and he’s terrific at it,” Shweta wrote.
