It can't be detected most of the times: Big B puts the spotlight back on dyslexia

He may be choosy about his appearances but trust Amitabh Bachchan to turn up to support for a good cause. The actor launched writer Virendra Ojha poetry book titled Kuch Shabd Mere in Mumbai. Amitabh Bachchan who loves to associate himself with a good cause praised the author when he learnt that the proceeds of the book will be donated to a charity for dyslexic children.

Having launched the book, she says, “I have to take out time to read Virendra’s book. Only then can I give my feedback. I am happy that Virendra has tried to create awareness about dyslexic children through his book. Dyslexia is a disease, which is seen in children. Most of the time, it can’t be detected.” Amitabh knows what he’s talking about. After all, Abhishek Bachchan has struggled with dyslexia since he was a child. In fact, Abhishek has spoken about the learning disability multiple times to create awareness. The actor continues, “Because of this disease, children have issues with writing and reading. Most times, teachers and parents may feel that the kid is not concentrating on his studies but they forget to consider that their children may most probably be affected by dyslexia.”
