It’s not just your charm as an actor but your aura as a human being that impresses your audience the most. And, you prove this time and again. Yet again, Mr. Bachchan has done something that is greatly overwhelming.

Many of us might not be aware of this recent incident, hence it would rather be a better option to narrate it. Gayatri Devi is a 90 year old lady, but not a normal lady, she is a former freedom fighter. Gayatri Devi had been on dharna on the streets of the capital for the past four years, fighting to get her freedom fighter’s pension restored. She used to received her pension from the Bihar government under the “Samman” pension scheme for freedom fighters since 1997 and has relevant documents to support her claim. But in 2002 her pension was suddenly stopped.

She was told that her name appeared in a list of fake freedom fighters. She approached many prominent leaders and got them to write applications on her behalf, but nothing happened. This is when CNN IBN came forward and filed an RTI on her behalf. Seeing her undeterred courage and determination, Amitabh Bachchan decided to take a path breaking step. And he did follow his heart as he has now adopted Gayatri Devi for the next 5 years.

Mr. Bachchan will take care of her pension for the next five years. The humanitarian actor was taken aback by the sad plight of these freedom fighters. He was moved because Gayatri Devi could barely walk but her determination towards her right was appreciable.

And all that Mr. Bachchan is benefited out of this noble deed are her blessings!! We love you Mr. Bachchan for the way you think!
