two girls enjoy the luxury of a rich legacy but being the fairer sex they are bound to face judgments and opposition from the society Nothing however should bog them down said the actorThe 73yearold star further wrote that both of them should choose their own path one which is dictated by their choices not the worldsTowards the end Bachchan said being a woman is not easy in todays times but he hopes the two girls will change the situationThis is what Amitabh Bachchan wrote in his letter to granddaughtersYou both carry a very valuable legacy on your tender shoulders Aaradhya the legacy of your greatgrandfather Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Navya the legacy of your greatgrandfather Shri H P Nanda Both your greatgrandfathers gave your present surnames celebrated fame dignity and recognition Both of you maybe a Nanda or a Bachchan but you are also girls women Because you are women people will force their thinking their boundaries on you They will tell you how to dress how to behave who you can meet and where you can go Dont live in the shadows of peoples judgementMake your own choices in the light of your own wisdom Dont let anyone make you believe that the length of your skirt is a measure of your character Dont let anyones opinion of who you should be friends with dictate who you will be friends with Dont get married for any other reason other than you want to get married People will talk They shall say some terrible things But that doesnt mean you have to listen to everyone Never ever worry about what will people sayAt the end of the day you are the only one who will face the consequences of your actions so dont let other people make your decisions for you Navya the privilege your name your surname offers you will not protect you from the difficulties you will face because youre a womanAaradhya by the time you see and understand this I may well not be around But I think what I am saying today shall still be relevant This may be a difficult difficult world to be a woman But I believe that it is women like you that will change that It may not be easy setting your own boundaries making your own choices rising above peoples judgement But you can set an example for women everywhere The actor said he would take more pride in being known as their grandfathers than by his own name Do this and you would have done more than I have ever done and it will be my honour to be known not as Amitabh Bachchan but as your grandfatherAmitabh Bachchans letter however didnt go down well with some Twitter users who pointed out the patriarchal undertone Some also
