Amitabh Bachchan remembered his late mother, Teji Bachchan in a heart-wrenching blog post on her death anniversary, on Wednesday. The Goodbye actor recalled his mother’s last moments and said he watched doctors struggle to revive her ‘delicate heart’. Sr Bachchan took to his blog in the morning, unlike his late night write-ups. Teji Bachchan passed away on December 21, 2007.
In his blog post, Amitabh Bachchan recalled the last moments of his mother Teji Bachchan and said he stopped doctors from ‘pumping here delicate frame’ in their effort to revive his her. He mentioned asking them to not make any more efforts to revive her as it was ‘painful’ to stand there and witness.
The Goodbye actor wrote, “She slipped away as elegantly and quietly as was her temperament this morning as I watched the doctors struggle to revive her delicate heart, time and again .. pumping here delicate frame in vigorous pushes to get her to live again .. and again .. and again. We stood .. holding hands all of us near and dear .. the nieces and the children in tears .. until ..I spoke up .. leave it doc .. leave her .. she wishes to go .. stop .. do not make any more efforts .. each effort was painful for her system and painful for us to stand there and witness .. each time that ‘straight line’ would appear .. and then shift to the graphic responses of the physical pumping.”

He further added, “Stop it I said .. and they did .. the singular tone of the straight line on the monitor .. indicating to us all and the World , that she had left .. slipped out .. as someone recently mentioned about the passing of a near one .. and gone to a ‘better place’ – words that we often hear being used in consolation of the departure. A gentle hand on her forehead .. a million memories flashing by in the silence of the room in the hospital .. and then leaving to being her home.”
Big B even spoke about how the mortal remains were then brought to their home, Prateeksha. He mentioned spending his last night with his mother, a day before the cremation. Sr Bachchan said his mother’s ashes were taken to sacred places that she believed in. And, he further revealed her portrait was placed near the portrait of his father, renowned poet, Harivansh Rai Bachchan. The actor wrote, “the room remains so ..permanently .. and she remains permanently with us .. Amma ji .. the most beautiful Mother in the entire Universe.”
On the work front, Sr Bachchan was last seen in the film Uunchai directed by Sooraj Barjatya. He even featured in the movie, Goodbye, before Uunchai.
