Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has highlighted a significant sporting achievement after India secured world titles in Blind Cricket, Women’s Cricket, and Men’s Cricket in 2025. He emphasized that this moment challenges outdated perceptions about the nation.
Rare Triple Triumph
Reacting to this remarkable victory, the iconic actor shared his thoughts on his blog, stressing the importance of all three teams being world champions in the same year. He pointed out that India, often labeled a “third world” nation, redefines that narrative with such accomplishments. Bachchan declared that the country now stands as a “first world nation.”
“3 champions World Cricket .. Blind, Women’s, Men 2025 .. celebrations .. WE ARE 1st FIRST WORLD NATION not 3rd World, as often referred to .. there is a story in this context .. which if I am brave enough shall narrate later (sic),” he wrote.
Reflections on Work
On January 5, Amitabh discussed the quiet phase as the season of his quiz-based reality show “Kaun Banega Crorepati” nears its end. He expressed how the lack of work often brings about an unsettling sense of inertia.
He commented, “It’s been hardly a few days to the end of the season and the days seem too long to bring to some semblance of the ethics of work .. (sic).”
For him, “no work” symbolizes a slow, exhausting journey through a vast, wet wasteland. “No work is a synonym for a sluggish walk through a wet vast wasteland… Stuck in it .. shall try the very best to pull the weary legs out and move (sic).”
