Amitabh, the parent

How a parent feels when the son is hurt and away, Big B had a feel of it hearing the news Abhisekh’s injury while shooting Department in Jaipur and wondered what his parents might have thought when he was injured shooting “Coolie” in Karnataka.

“What does one do or react or feel is one of the most difficult moments in the life of any parent. You are away from your son - he being in Jaipur - you cannot assess the damage, you are worried whether all has indeed been transferred to you, and you get about preparing for his return and setting up doctors to attend to him as soon as he lands” he writes in his blog.

Recalling his injury, he says, “how did my parents feel at the time and what did they go through? Should I behave in similar manner as they did or should I have my own form of reaction to the issue? Tough one!”

‘No matter what, it is the most trying moment for any parent to see their child suffer pain’ … I tweet and shall go back soon after to see how many reacted to that ..would be mostly parents I would imagine .. they know best .. !!!, he concludes.
