Big B smitten by young talent on reality shows

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says it amazes him to see how youngsters manage to sing and dance flawlessly on reality television shows.

On his blog, the actor wrote: "The family sits together to laugh and cheer as one appreciates the performances of some of the music kids on the tele. They are quite extraordinary and filled with the pride of the nation despite being away from it.

"How on earth do these kids move every single portion of their elastic bodies is a wonder by itself... Rapid strides, flaying arms, catching every possible beat and making it all look so simple... Quite, quite amazing."

He also turned contemplative, and wished "those years of the times when the body was equally supple and easy to mould, would return".

"Return not to relive the youth, but to be able to be a part of this generation and its thinking and astonishing mind," wrote Big B.
