Speculations are speculations: Big B’s cryptic blog amid rumours

Actor Amitabh Bachchan, in a blog post on Wednesday, wrote about “selected question marked information”, seemingly alluding to reports based on rumours surrounding his family.
“Speculations are speculations, they are speculated untruths, without verifications,” Bachchan, 82, said in a cryptic post amid rumours of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s separation.
Bachchan wrote, “It takes immense courage, conviction and a sincerity to be different and believe in its presence in life .. I rarely say much about family, because that is my domain and its privacy is maintained by me (sic).”
“Speculations are speculations .. they are speculated untruths, without verifications. Verifications are sought by the seekers to authenticate their business and commercials of the profession they be in .. I shall not challenge their desire to be in the profession of their choice .. and I shall appreciate their effort in serving society (sic),” he further added.
Amitabh Bachchan then wrote about “question marked information” and continued, “But untruths .. or selected question marked information can be a legal safeguard for them that inform .. but the seed of suspected belief is sown with this most used emblem .. the question mark(sic)?” The actor highlighted the question mark in bold.
Big B shared that any information presented with even a hint of doubt serves as a trap for readers. “When you follow it up with a question mark, you are not only saying that the write may be questionable .. but also quite surreptitiously wanting the reader to believe and expand on it, so that your write gets valued repeats .. your content is done , not just for that one moment, but for many moments ..the reader when they react to it gives content expansion. The reaction could be in belief or in the negative ..anything that be , give credence to the write (sic),” the actor wrote.
Bachchan, 82, also expressed concern about the implications of such practices. “Fill the World with untruth or questioned untruth and your job is over .. how it may have affected the subject individual or situation has been hand washed away from your hands .. your conscience, if ever you have one, has been overridden (sic),” he mentioned.
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan. He is currently seen on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16. This Friday, November 22, the actor will welcome Abhishek along with director Shoojit Sircar on the show.
