Responding to the flood of compliments on this ‘maha-khush-khabri’, the unassuming Bachchan-saab responded with his message “There is a paucity of words searching a response .. for the generosity of words that pour in .. I am but deeply grateful and most humbled .. my sincerest gratitude”, he acknowledged.  Four times  National Award winner for his impeccable performances, the bass-baritone voiced KBC- Sony TV quiz-show host Big B ( also a style-icon) has come a long way from his initial  major mega- hits like ‘Bombay To Goa’ and of course ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Deewaar’  and ‘Sholay’ to the recent  movies  like ‘Piku’ and ‘Badla’.   It may be recalled that the music-savvy, benevolent Amitabh-jee was honoured by the film-fraternity in the esteemed presence of  thespian legend Dilip Kumar-saab and Saira Banu with the Dadasaheb Phalke Ratna Academy Award in the year 2012 in Mumbai .
