"Mesmerised by his brilliance in each and every department of music and performance, he changed the very psyche, of not just the kind of music he was making, but also the psyche of the listening audience. Nothing compared to him," the actor, who is in London, further wrote.
Big B recalled the day when Michael Jackson visited to India and how his concert in Mumbai had shook ‘Pratiksha’ as music and lights echoed and flashed throughout the night.

He called my mom in Hyderabad, who thought it was a crank call and hung up!” she laughs.
The actress, who is “not seeing anybody since I feel it is important to love yourself before you are ready to share your space with anyone else,” does confess that she’s dying to have kids.
“I am dying to have kids...I really love them.”As for when she is not shooting, the actress occupies herself with “painting, writing, pottery and horse riding.”

Michael Jackson had been quietly recording a new album that he hoped would move the world, says his longtime Indian-American friend Deepak Chopra.The "Thriller" hitmaker passed away Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest at the age of 50. Hs friend of 20 years, doctor and writer Deepak Chopra, revealed that during a recent meeting, the star had shared with him the new material he had written, reports a website.
"He was talking about this new song that he had done. He had shared that with me. I think I`m the only person who has the music right now... he was thinking really big," said Chopra.
"He arranged a very elaborate way of getting these tapes to me, these CDs, with three bodyguards and a limousine with shaded windows. You would think he was transferring the secrets of the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) to me. It took me a long time to open the package because it was covered in layer after layer after layer of plastic and cloth. He was very insecure about people knowing what he was up to in his music or his life because he had been hurt by the world," he added.
Chopra further informed that Jackson was enthusiastic about his planned comeback concerts in London, but conceded that he feared the singer wasn`t fit enough for the gruelling residency.

Ash And Abhishake Ravan in Trouble
Ash And Abhishake Ravan in Trouble
Two caravans used in the shooting of Mani Ratnam's multilingual movie Ravan, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, in Ooty have been seized for having forged vehicle documents, police said on Tuesday.
The two caravans had the same registration number. "An investigation led to findings of fraud in the use of forged vehicle IDs and tax evasion, which in turn led to seizure of four vehicles during the last week," said a police official.
According to police, the vehicles seized in Ooty have been valued at Rs 12 million. Both Abhishek and Aishwarya are said to have used the vehicles during the shooting.
The shooting of Ravan has been shifted to another hill station, Hogenekkal (some 300 km southwest from Chennai).
The police official said he feared the "racket may be much bigger since all top stars use high-priced caravans". Police teams have left for Mumbai and elsewhere in Tamil Nadu to look for other similar vehicles.
Sources close to Ratnam said: "To our knowledge only two vehicles that were being operated for us have been seized. The suppliers who lent logistical support to our outdoor units should be blamed. Our shooting is in progress without any glitches."
"Our office has taken up the issue with the suppliers," the source added. Ravan is being made in Hindi and Tamil. It also stars Tamil actors Vikram and Karthik. Since shooting began last year, minor problems have dogged the venture, including Ratnam being laid down with a mild heart problem, and cinematographer Manikandan handing over the work to another celebrated cameraman Santosh Sivan.

Michael Jackson Had Started Eating Like A Bird Bappi
Bollywood star
Bappi Lahiri, who'd gone to LA to meet the Jackson brothers, speaks about the anguish the family faced during Michael Jackson's last few days.

Bappi Lahiri, who'd gone to LA to meet the Jackson brothers, speaks about the anguish the family faced during Michael Jackson's last few days.
During the last few months, Michael Jackson aka Mikaeel was on a toxic diet of financial worries and an ever-failing health. With all the tell-tale signs of acute depression, the Peter Pan of pop music had almost given up food according to his family.
All the visitors to the Jackson family at their LA home came back with stories about the family's anguish about the pop star's rapid weight loss and worsening general condition. One of them was Bappi Lahiri who had met Jermaine Jackson to invite the Jackson Five for a concert in Mumbai. They agreed, but they had a clause.
"Michael had started eating like a bird and his health was failing. When I met Jermaine for the concert, he said that the family is so worried about Michael's failing health that they might cancel the concert last minute and that I should be prepared for that," says Bappi, who met the Jackson family a couple of months before Michael's death.
The Jackson family was carefully guarding every detail about Jackson's health as the media the world over howled how the self-styled King of Pop had multiple ailments to endure -- skin cancer, a liver condition that urgently required a transplant and his depression that seemed to worsen by the day.
Naturally, the Jackson Five concert has now a huge question mark hanging over it. Read More!
Hot sexy Aspiring Brits Find Bollywood Beauty Kkin Deep
Bollywood Celebrities Gossip
YOUNG British actresses struggling to find work at home are moving to Bollywood to capitalise on the Indian film industry's appetite for white talent.
YOUNG British actresses struggling to find work at home are moving to Bollywood to capitalise on the Indian film industry's appetite for white talent.
The recession-hit show business in Britain and an increasing demand for white performers has spurred an estimated 1000 British actors and dancers to move to Mumbai in the past three years.
British actresses can earn £1000 ($2050) a day in Mumbai and say opportunities are plentiful.
The traditional roles for white women in Bollywood were as the exotic backing dancer, prepared to show off bare skin.
Now they are moving to Mumbai to establish serious film careers.
Hazel, 24, from Kent, has been in Mumbai for five years and is well established on the Bollywood circuit, where she is known simply by her Christian name.
"I first did adverts for Ponds, Nokia and Samsung and then got my first proper role in a film in MP3," she said.
"You can lead such a great lifestyle in India. There is the constant begging, pollution and sleazy casting directors that you have to be careful of, but it's all worthwhile … I'm almost famous!"
The success of Slumdog Millionaire has put India on the map in terms of worldwide film audiences, and Bollywood is becoming more globally minded.
"Ten years ago there were hardly any white girls working in Bollywood. Now they are everywhere," said Debjoy Ray, of Globosport Modelling agency. "Indians have a liking for white skin and equate it with beauty."
