Amitabh Bachchan Offers Encouragement to Kavya Maran After SRH’s IPL Final Loss
Bollywood legend shares heartfelt message following Sunrisers Hyderabad’s defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders
After Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) were defeated by Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2024 final at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Amitabh Bachchan took to his Tumblr site to express his feelings. Reflecting on the game, he conveyed his sympathy for SRH’s owner, Kavya Maran, who was visibly emotional following her team’s loss.
Bachchan wrote, “The IPL final is over and KKR have won a most convincing victory… SRH were simply outplayed… disappointing in many ways because SRH is a good team, and one has seen their very grand performances over the days when they played other matches.”
He continued by highlighting the most poignant moment of the match, “But what was most touching to observe was the pretty young lady… the owner of SRH, in the stadium, get emotional after the loss and break into tears, turning her face away from the cameras, so as not to display her emotion. I felt bad for her!! Never mind… tomorrow is another day… my dear!!”
In his post, Bachchan referenced the iconic film “Gone with the Wind,” drawing a parallel to the famous scene where Rhett Butler, played by Clark Gable, leaves Scarlett O’Hara, played by Vivien Leigh, with the words, “Frankly… I couldn’t give a damn!!” Scarlett’s response, “I’ll get him back… after all, tomorrow is another day,” served as a source of inspiration for Bachchan’s message.
He concluded with a message of resilience and hope, “Yes, yes, yes… to all that fail… do not give up… for ‘tomorrow is another day… my love ❤️.'”
