It is the story of a dynamic and ambitious young man who is poised to take the elevator of corporate success when a personal tragedy exposes him to the shocking consequences of corruption in this country. Joining hands with an idealistic old man, he ignites a people’s protest that soon escalates into a massive movement with a national resonance, battling politicians determined to crush and discredit him. However, when people’s raw and unbridled anger is unleashed, the unintended penalty could be horrifying by itself.

Amitabh Bachchan KBC 7 producer in trouble Defaming

Amitabh Bachchan, KBC producer in trouble for 'defaming' lawyers

A local magistrate's court in Ahmedabad issued notices to the producer of TV quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) and Amitabh Bachchan, host of its Season-7, among others after a complaint alleged that its promos present the legal profession in a "derogatory" manner.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate S V Parekh asked all seven respondents, in an application filed by advocate Davinder Singh Rakkad, to file their response by August 21 when he would hear the case again.

"Promos of the popular quiz show being telecast widely on Sony Entertainment TV channel, shows lawyers and their profession in a derogatory manner," Rakkad said in his complaint. 

Rakkad also demanded legal action against show producer Siddharth Basu, host Amitabh Bachchan and five others associated with the show, under Section 500 (defamation) and other provisions of the Information Technology Act. 

In support of his contention that KBC promos showed lawyers and their profession in a "derogatory" manner, he has cited scenes from promos and submitted a compact disc with visuals as well as transcripts of all its dialogues. 

The complainant has said that in a scene in the promo, an advocate screams "I object", while thumping his hand on the table in a court room, when another lawyer by his side prompts him saying "First, let the court proceedings begin". 

Citing other scenes, Rakkad has alleged that such depiction of lawyers is not only "derogatory" in nature but would also "negatively inspire" people either not to join the profession or to leave their practice.

The time spent in a recording studio BigB

Jalsa, Mumbai          Aug  6/7,  2013             Tue/Wed  2 : 38 AM 

It has been decided … in my mind … the time spent in a recording studio, with artists and technicians, music genius and composers, is the best time of your life … they that make it are unaware of what they are … they are the carriers of our hearts messages to the supreme … they are this thread that binds our souls to the souls of those we love and respect and pay our gratitude to, they that we go to in times of error and fault .. the Almighty .. or whoever you go to …

There is fulfilment and emotion … there is a desire unfinished, unrelenting in its persuasion to strike that one note, who's purity is recognised the moment it happens. Fortunate and enviable are they that live in that atmosphere each minute, each nano second of their lives, for they live in eternity, in the universal expanse of unmeasured width and depth. The universe, that they say increases in all directions, a billion miles each day or is it a year … no I think it is year or maybe day .. or could be an hour … who knows !! I am not sitting in the space with measure to measure its expansion …

It is a mystery … space, universe the entire galactic conundrum. At times we wonder of its hows and wheres, but soon get into frustrated debate on its creation … and when we can explain no more we resort to that age old belief .. belief !!

Belief is the strongest sentiment when it comes to personal choice of religion. The innocence of the child, the new born is such that we never even give her or him a remote chance to decide what he wants, … to be or not to be !!

Yet those moments of indoctrination, of the innocence of our years, remain bound to us for a lifetime … such is the power and the glory of it. And then once established, its undying steadfastness, its undefined patronage ; strong and immovable, remains … to face any intrusion or disbelief or effort to harm that ….

The spasm of our pain is likened to the spasm of our existence .. if you claim to exist, you must claim to bear and act .. 

Amitabh Bachchan
