Not to be left out of this wonderful and admirable habit and exercise , I had an opportunity to have a word with the KBC crew, and wondered if I could do similar...And the generosity with which it was permitted and organised has been a moment of great learning .. parrot and all (sic).” Chandra Barot Dies: Amitabh Bachchan Mourns Loss of ‘Don’ Director, Calls Him ‘Family’.
