Bollwood’s Shahensha Amitabh Bachchan came forward and politely disagreed with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s suggestion. Apparently, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee suggested that Amitabh Bachchan should have been honoured with the Bharat Ratna instead of Padma Vibhushan.
Banerjee took to her Twitter account to express her views and posted her suggestion. She tweeted, “Amitabh Bachchan is a legend in his lifetime. Padma Vibhushan is not enough. Somebody of his stature deserves a Bharat Ratna.”
Big B, who is recipient of the Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri, took to Twitter and responded to Banerjee’s tweet.
“@MamataOfficial Mamata di… I am not deserving of such recognition… Most humbled and honoured by what the Nation has given me..!!,” Bachchan tweeted.
