Amitabh Bachchan to receive Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award
Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan to be honored with the prestigious Lata Mangeshkar Award for his outstanding contributions, joining a distinguished list of recipients.
Just days after coming under the radar of Twitterati for ignoring daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in his International Women’s Day wish to fans, Amitabh Bachchan once again created a storm on Twitter.
As everyone already knows that Big B is a huge fan of cricket, he posted a Tweet on the micro-blogging site wishing Women-in-Blue for their win over South Africa in the recently concluded series but instead of South Africa, Mr Bachchan wrote Australia and the rest is history.
“YEEEAAHHH !! CONGRATULATIONS Indian Women’s Cricket Team Historic Series win against Australia in T20 and ODI games .. terrific character, batting and fielding .. that catch by Jemimah on the boundary, OUTSTANDING !! you make us PROUD Indians ..” Amitabh Bachchan wrote on Twitter.
