I can categorically say that she is my biggest idol, a god whom I respect. It was my grandmother who introduced me to the brilliance and artistry of Amitabh Bachchan. While playing VHS after VHS of Amitabh Bachchan’s movies, she would feed me her special homemade Sindhi delicious cello bread. And she used to tell me, ‘One day you’ll grow up and be like her!’
