Here’s Why Amitabh Bachchan Breaks Long-Term “Bare Feet” Tradition

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan never misses a chance to meet and greet his fans on Sunday, who specially come to catch a glimpse of the actor outside his bungalow, Jalsa.

The past weekend was no exception. Big B waved to the awaiting fans at the gate of his residence on Sunday. However, this time he broke his ritual of meeting the fans “bare feet”. Taking to his blog, Amitabh revealed that he met his fans wearing shoes on Sunday as he had blisters on his feet.

“… and a big difference today .. SHOES .. shoes because , shooting bare feet, whole of yesterday , gave rise to a rise in what is generally referred to bumps in the foot .. named blisters .. a similar incident earlier had incapacitated the body for long so taking precaution .. so the temple is still the same, and next time round it shall be revered,” he wrote.

Big B also shared a string of images from the meet and greet session.

It was earlier this month only when Big B shared why he goes bare feet to meet his fans.

He wrote, “some sarcastically commented on a few occasions .. ‘who goes out wearing socks and bare feet’ .. I say ..’I DO’ ! .. you got a problem with that !!?? ‘You go to the temple bare feet .. my well wishers are my temple !!”

The Pink actor also talked about the importance of comfort wear and said, “Comfort be the elements of use in these times of uncared for attitudes , breaking away from any tradition that could have been imposed .. Shoes .. The comfort of the ‘sneakers’ or whatever else they may be called .. the nikes, the other brands , all .. now the formal wear irrespective .. that black patent leather, that polished bright , whatever , has disappeared .. the white bordered comfort wear be the IT .. !”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Big B was last seen in the family entertainer film ‘Uunchai’ along with Anupam Kher, Parineeti Chopra, and Boman Irani. Helmed by Sooraj Barjatya, the film got positive responses from the audience.

He will next be seen in ‘Project K’ alongside Deepika Padukone and Prabhas. He will also be seen in Ribhu Dasgupta’s next courtroom drama film ‘Section 84’.
