Amitabh Bachchan is a person who more often than not does voice out strong opinions for the betterment of the society. He did just that again recently. Amitabh, who was in the capital to promote courtroom drama film Pink, which features him as a lawyer, said the aim behind making this film was to change people's perception about India. "The aim behind making Pink was to send its message as strongly as possible. I want people outside to recognise what is happening (in India)," Amitabh said.

"It's very embarrassing when you visit a foreign country and you see people there talking to you and say, 'Oh you are from India, the land of rape'. It's very embarrassing. I want that to go. "I hate it when I go abroad and people say, 'You are from a third world country or you are from a developing country'. Why do they call us that? We all must work towards that and make it (India) a first world country and not a developing, but as a developed country," added the 74-year-old. We should not say that Mumbai is safer than Delhi or vice versa. We are a country and women should be safe in every part. If an incident occurs in Delhi the whole nation feels bad and gets worried. The issue is about the whole nation or universal." Produced by Shoojit Sircar and directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, 'Pink' also stars Taapsee Pannu, Kriti Kulhari, Angad Bedi, Andrea Tariang and Piyush Mishra.
