Indian actor Emraan Hashmi has published a book on his son’s battle with cancer. It is a moving account of how the little boy and his family coped with one of the most difficult times of their lives.

After the launch of the book a fortnight ago, the actor of the millennium Amitabh Bachchan wrote a letter to the young boy, full of praise and encouragement for him. This has made Emraan H very grateful, which could be gauged from his messages on Twitter lately, in which he profusely thanked Big B for the gesture. Touching.
