Amitabh Bachchan later shared his experience of the marriage in his blog on Tumblr, “Yes, the desire and the will to connect even at this unearthly hour—to some, it is time for work…but for me, I need to utilise the time for the Ef connect. Back from a glorious wedding, I feel after a long time the wealth of love and affection with so many old acquaintances (sic,” he said.

“They seemed to have changed in their physiognomy, but extremely sincere in their affection towards the association and the love of our times well spent together. This is what life is all about .. the associations and love and care (sic),” Amitabh added.

Towards the end, Big B wrote, “It is strange how the little things that matter to each other, remain, but those that had a deeper association or a meaningful spent time, is lost and forgotten .. well not really forgotten , but kept on the back burner, and remembered or brought out only when there is required meaning of the association (sic).”
