He further said, "I have sweet company, of them that caress me, they court me around in decorated best, be in good health, have I received abundant love, a gracious opulent heart, doth blossom with gratitude." He also went on to say, "For some time I am but time bound now, for the prayers I get I am folded hands bound yes folded hands bound... ever folded hands bound."

Prior to this, Amitabh Bachchan had asked his readers and followers to excuse his typos owing to the difficulty in sight.
