Amitabh Bachchan has learnt to live with controversies. But India's biggest star admits they sometimes get under his skin -- and when that happens he says he takes care not to show his irritation, particularly before the media.
"For celebrities, when you create a controversy, it happens and even when you don't create one, it still happens. Like if I sneeze, it can cause a controversy; if I don't, then also it causes one," Bachchan told us in an exclusive interview.
"We (celebrities) have to live with that (controversies). I have accepted that controversies are bound to happen with me. I do get angry about it at times but we don't let it show - not in front of the media at least," added the 66-year-old thespian who will soon be seen as host of the third season of the reality show 'Bigg Boss' that features a bunch of celebrities locked into a house.
The subject of many controversies, big and small, Bachchan seems to often vent his ire in his blog, which he labels a "revelation".
The blog has become almost an obsession, says the star candidly.
"It (my blog) has been a great revelation. It's a medium where I can talk to myself. It has now become almost like an obsession and it's not so much because I want to express myself but the fact that I better express myself now there are hundreds of people who wait to read what I'm going to do, what I am thinking and then they comment on it," he said.
He added that he would be going back to update his blog as soon as the interviews with the media were over.
Bachchan, whose forthcoming projects include Sujoy Ghosh's 'Aladin', R. Balakrishna's eagerly-awaited role-reversal drama 'Paa' and Leena Yadav's 'Teen Patti', was in the capital for the launch of 'Bigg Boss' that goes on the air Sunday
