Mumbai, Sep 16 : Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has reflected on the rare art of effortless performance, remembering legendary actors Motilal, Geeta Bali and Savitri as performers who, in his words, “performed, not exactly acted in the true sense”.
The icon took to his blog where he said their natural talent made them equally loved and admired.
He started the blog with: “ A little contemplation is never undue .. many thoughts run through ....work related .. and many other forms .. but substantial and effective … when you bring a semblance of the casual in the temperament…(sic).”
“The proclamation that often happens in an outreach for a proposed presence to enhance a moment .. the proclamation never works according to me .. casually conveyance is the call of the hour… for there is reason… do we ever proclaim in our dailies each day or there is a sense of the casual .. would say: casualness be the corner stone of all stones(sic)..”
Later in the blog, Amitabh delved into the idea of natural performance, recalling Motilal, Geeta Bali and Savitri as actors whose work never seemed forced.
“Actors with the natural talent of non performance, when performing are the ones that be loved admired with proven followings… Motilal ji , Geeta Bali , Savitri .. are some that come to mind instantly , though there are several others that are brilliant .. they performed , not exactly acted in the true sense .. loved and admired equally... nothing shall come of nothing .... and with equal sense of the 'retirement' .. to bed (sic).”
