As they say, 'Like father, like son', Amitabh Bachchan has got the talent of writi🙈ng poems from his father, the late Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Mr Bachchan often shares his poems on social media and blogs. Some of the wonderful lines written by Big B are: ''Jeevan path jatil hai ye, Kaalchakra kathin hai ye, Pag pag pe bhed bhaav hain, rakt-ranjit paanv hai

Janam se kisi ke sar pe vansh chaal hai, jhooth ke rath pe sawaar daakuon ka g🦋aav hai.

Kisi ke paas hai chal-kapat, kisi🌳 ko roop ka vardaan hai, ye soch ke mat baith ja.''

2. Ayushmann Khurrana

No one knows the science, but we k♏now love!? even though it's not the trend. After all the joy ceases to be free, the only selfless smile lies here, with You and Me...So Smile.''
