Bachchans Donate 25 Lakhs to “Plan India”
You may recall that on Amitabh Bachchan’s 70th birthday last year, a special painting exhibition cum sale called B Seventy was held in Mumbai. A book dedicated to the megastar was also released on that day. Now, proceeds from paintings and the book – which add up to a whopping Rs. 25 lakh! – will be put to some pretty good use.
