Amitabh Bachchan, accompanied by British Prime Minister David Cameron and India's Finance Minister Arun Jaitley unveiled an iron statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Parliament Square in London today.
The actor and the two politicians addressed the media and the crowd that had gathered for the event.
Amitabh blogged this morning, "There is an unveiling of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Parliament Square in London and they - the organisers and the British Prime Minister Hon David Cameron - have written to invite me to the event.
This quite simply is an overwhelming moment. I mean .. this is like giving me an importance I just do not deserve .. I am astonished and humbled and have with some trepidation, accepted the offer and now have been asked to do a reading as well from some of the Mahatma’s works at the time of the function !"
Big B is scheduled to return to Mumbai tomorrow.
