He does little things that make us appreciate the value of relationship like sending masks because he felt we were not wearing the right mask to protect ourselves, messaging to congratulate on my fiction debut novel. He is Amitabh Bachchan but, a simple inspiring man at heart. To remember faces, make young artist whether they are filmmaker, music directors or writers a part of his life and work with them and to believe in their craft and think like a child even today, laughing and smiling and treating everyone with immense respect and listening to everyone as if they are his own is what makes who he is.”
