In his latest blog entry that the actor wrote on Sunday, October 30, the Amar Akbar Anthony star shared some pictures from the Sunday meet-up with his fans and revealed that he takes off his shoes before meeting his fans as he considers the practice as 'devotion'.

Taking to his blog titled Bachchan Bol, Big B also shared that he now sees lesser number of people turn up outside his home on Sunday as he wrote, "I do observe though that the numbers are in lesser magnitude and the enthusiasm has lessened and the screams of joy now transferred to the mobile camera and that is more evident now, an indication that time has moved on and nothing lasts forever. Shoes off when I go to meet the well-wishers, it's a devotion for me."READ | Amitabh Bachchan birthday: From Bigg Boss 3 to Kaun Banega Crorepati 14, a look at Big B's television career
