Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, a prominent advocate of various sports and an ardent admirer of athletic achievements, recently took to his social media platform to extend heartfelt congratulations to the Indian men's 4x400 relay team. The team scripted history on Sunday by smashing the Asian record at the World Athletics Championships held in Budapest, Hungary. While the superstar celebrated the team's commendable performance, he also expressed his dismay over the commentators' failure to acknowledge their accomplishment.
In a tweet on Sunday, Amitabh Bachchan shared his jubilation, saying, " and India .. JAI HIND (Indian flag emoticon) !!!! congratulations from the entire WORLD .. and just hear the commentary .. not a word for the Indian Team .. all about the 3rd and the 4th .. when we have made to the qualifiers by coming a very very close 2nd ..” His words underscored his pride in the Indian contingent's achievement and his disappointment over the neglectful commentary that overshadowed their remarkable feat. Amitabh's tweet was sparked by a post from industrialist Anand Mahindra, who had shared a video of the relay race. Anand Mahindra marvelled at the Indian men's 4x400 relay team's accomplishment, expressing his awe, “What? When? Where? An Indian men’s 4x400 relay team qualifying for the finals in the World Athletics Championship? Looks like everyone is shooting for the moon now… Look at them run…Our Cheetahs….” Amitabh Bachchan's response not only applauded the remarkable achievement of the relay team but also underscored the importance of fair recognition in the sports commentary realm. His commitment to celebrating sporting excellence and his willingness to call attention to areas that need improvement reflect his dedication to promoting and nurturing India's sporting culture.
