Amitabh reads the Islamic holy book Quran


Amitabh Bachchan, a man of secular mindset, is reading the Islamic holy book, the Quran, nowadays.

It was Amitabh Bachchan’s extended twitter family (TwFmXt) that suggested the superstar to read the Quran.

“A member of TwFmXt here asked me to read the Koran, for peace and tranquility, for the essence of life .. I did ..” Amitabh revealed on his Twitter page.

The superstar even quoted a few verses from the holy book.

“God changes not what is in a people, until they change what is in themselves " Koran ( 7th century ), Sura 13, v. 11” wrote the 69-year-old actor.

He later added another verse: “Walk not on the earth exultantly, for thou canst not cleave the earth, neither shalt thou reach to the mountains in height” - Koran.

However, when someone pointed out that the spelling of the holy book should be Quran, Amitabh Bachchan did not hesitate to apologize.

“Correction : QURAN and not KORAN ! ... however the book I was reading from had it as KORAN so I mentioned it so .. apologies !!” the superstar wrote.
