TOI:This video moved Amitabh Bachchan to tears

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is known for his buttoned-up bearing, was moved to tears on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati 9. Before you jump to conclusions, this was not a contestant's emotionally overwhelming tale but a snippet of Big B's own childhood.

The video in question was a tribute that was paid to the legendary actor on the occasion of his 75th birthday, which falls on October 11. The crew had planned a special surprise for him on his special day.
Much to everyone's delight, the team reached out to his alma mater, Sherwood College of Nainital to say a few words to commemorate the day. A video was made where the faculty and students of the institution sent their wishes to their star alumni and he was given a tour of his favorite spots on the campus.


A cake cutting ceremony was also held and all this and more was documented in the video.

The tribute didn't end there, celebrated musician Niladri Kumar put up a special performance for the superstar on the sets.

Amitabh Bachchan was so moved by all this that his eyes brimmed with tears. During the tribute, Big B also shared few incidents about his school life.
