Like the oft-quoted dictum ‘with power comes responsibility’, fame too demands the same of a person on whom it is bestowed.

Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan knows it very well. This is the reason that recently he met with one of his young admirers, Hardika, who is battling cancer. Not just that, Big B (as the actor is fondly known) celebrated Hardika’s birthday with her. It got the young fan all cheered up and happy. Big B also wished her swift and complete recovery. Some people are just born great!
