Amitabh Bachchan apologises after wrongly crediting Prasoon Joshi’s poem to his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is known for keeping his fans and followers entertained via his social media posts as well. The veteran actor had recently shared a poem attributing to his legendary poet father Harivansh Rai Bachchan. However, the poem was actually penned by lyricist Prasoon Joshi. Realising his mistake, Big B took to his Twitter handle and issued an apology.

On Wednesday night, Big B had shared a poem ‘Akelepan Ka Bal Pehchaan’ and credited it to his late father Harivansh Rai Bachchan. However, on Thursday he tweeted an apology saying, “Yesterday, the poem posted by me on T-3617 was not written by my father. That was incorrect. The poem was written by Prasoon Joshi. I apologise for the error)”

Along with the tweet he shared the entire poem penned by Prasoon Joshi.

CORRECTION : कल T 3617 pe जो कविता छपी थी , उसके लेखक , बाबूजी नहीं हैं । वो ग़लत था । उसकी रचना , कवि प्रसून जोशी ने की है ।
इसके लिए मैं क्षमा प्रार्थी हूँ । ??

T 3817 –
'अकेलेपन का बल पहचान
शब्द कहाँ जो तुझको टोके
हाथ कहाँ जो तुझको रोके
राह वही है, दिशा वही है, तू करे जिधर प्रस्थान
अकेलेपन का बल पहचान ।

जब तू चाहे तब मुसकाए,
जब चाहे तब अश्रु बहाए,
राग वही तू जिसमें गाना चाहे अपना गान ।
अकेलेपन का बल पहचान ।'
