Mumbai, January 19

Megastar and an emotional son Amitabh Bachchan remembered his father and legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan on the latter’s death anniversary.

Amitabh on Saturday night took to Twitter, where he shared a photograph of his father and a poem written on the image.

He captioned the picture: “A few moments ago he had breathed his last… My Father… as I held his hand… soft… still vibrant… the hand that wrote genius…” Harivansh Rai Bachchan passed away on 18 January 2003.

The ‘Piku’ star then shared a photograph of himself dressed in his character from the upcoming film “Chehre” and captioned: “But work continues – he would have wanted it that way.”

On the acting front, Amitabh currently has four films in his kitty ‘Chehre’, ‘Brahmastra’, ‘Jhund’ and ‘Gulabo Sitabo’. — IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
