Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has seen many highs and lows in a career spanning four decades, but the actor said that the most arduous battle a celebrity has to face is that of demotion.
The 72-year-old star believes that one needs a lot of strength to survive through the phase of fading success.
“Celebrity hood is no different from a champion. The day you lose the success, you shall be relegated to the background and someone else, someone else bigger and better shall occupy the chair which you had warmed for several years, never expecting it to be snatched away,” he wrote on his blog.
Big B drew the comparison between being a celebrity and a champion while discussing about World number one Novak Djokovic’s win over Swiss star Roger Federer in Wimbledon final.
“It is the toughest battle that a celebrity faces. Lauded and applauded with unprecedented love and affection one day and then another day it’s all gone. Gone to another. You need the strength of a bull, a skin of a rhino and the roar of a lion to understand the phenomena that unfolds. It needs guts to withstand the demotion, to seek its acceptance with grace and dignity and to realise before long, its presence and its eventuality. We shall all go through this and we shall learn to survive within it,” he concluded.
