Hindi film industry is in deep shock following terror attacks in Mumbai.

Amitabh Bachchan, known for his on-screen ‘Angry Young Man’ image depicting the rebellious youth, expressed anger through his blog.

On his blog, the shahenshah of Bollywood wrote, “Last night, as the events of the terror attack unfolded in front of me I did something for the first time and one that I had hoped never ever to be in a situation to do.”

“Before retiring for the night, I pulled out my licensed .32 revolver, loaded it and put it under my pillow. For a very disturbed sleep.”

Big B was glued to TV screen as security staff combated the activists yesterday, also the birth anniversary of his father.

Mr. Bachchan fumed with anger at the uselessness of the authorities, who were supposed to look after the country.

“My pain has been the sight and plight of my innocent and vulnerable and completely insecure countrymen, facing the wrath of this terror attack. And my anger has been at the ineptitude of the authorities that have been ordained to look after us,” Big B wrote in his blog.

Praising the attempts of troops in handling the whole situation, he wrote, “Brilliant officers and police personnel have laid down their lives for us. I can only but salute them and respect their sincerity in the call of duty.”

Bachchan was dissatisfied by the cliche ‘spirit of Mumbai’ that he said people were using to cover up the shocking incidents, which the merry city underwent in recent years.

“Yes Mumbai is strong and resilient and shall not be cowed down by any such occurrence. But let us not conveniently use it as our cover sheet, pull it over our heads and go off to sleep,” he wrote.

In spite of constant requests by electronic channels to issue a statement on the disaster, Big B denied to do so.

An irked Bachchan wrote in bold, “Tell me and order me instead that we require every Indian to get up and walk into the facilities where the action is on and I will be the first to walk.”

“But, please do not ask me to come and make sloppy statements that will do nothing more than create viewer interest.”
