When it comes to being an enigma, Amitabh Bachchan is the one. He himself is an exceptional actor but doesn’t refrain from applauding the performance of other actors in his own special way. This time too, the veteran actor saw Manmarziyan, and sent a handwritten letter and a bouquet to both Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal. However, Abhishek Bachchan who stars in the film too is yet to receive a letter.
A DNA report says that Amitabh was too overcome with emotion after seeing Abhishek’s performance in the film to give him a feedback. When Abhishek asked his father for his reaction, the veteran actor apparently told him, “I will speak to you later.” On the same night, he tweeted, “There are times when you are so choked with emotion that it is impossible to speak .. or say and express anything .. I am such now .. and there shall be occasion to find out why soon .. !!”
Amitabh, in his handwritten letter to Vicky wrote, “I have always admired your work, your versatility in Manmarziyaan is exceptional.” He also sent a bouquet of lovely lilies. Vicky Kaushal was also overwhelmed with emotion that he took to his social media handle and wrote, “This means the world to me! Thank You @SrBachchan Sir for this hand written letter of appreciation and bouquet #Manmarziyaan.”
Taapsee who has earlier worked with Big B in Pink was ecstatic on receiving the letter. She posted a picture of herself with the letter and the bouquet beside her. She wears a smile on her face. She wrote, “Finally! This letter! A milestone achieved.”
In the past too, he has shown his appreciation for the work of other actors and sent letters to Ayushmann Khurrana, Kangana Ranaut, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Randeep Hooda.
Manmarziyaan is set in a small town of Punjab and is the story of love, lust, marriage and ex-lovers, all rolled into one. It will hit theatres on Friday.
