Big B's encounter with 5-year-old kid
Amitabh Bachchan wrote in his blog, "I was at work for the RBI campaign and in the scene was a little kid about 5 or 6 years of age .. in the middle of a rehearsal he turned to me and said, 'Excuse me, how old are you?' I said, '80'." He continued, "He snapped back, 'Oh! So, why are you working? My grandparents are sitting at home and chilling .. You should do that also.!!' I did not have a reply for him. Primarily, because I was astonished at the precocious veracity of this 5-year-old! And secondly, I did not have an answer (sic)."
