Daughters are special: Amitabh

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Monday penned a heartfelt post for his daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda as her debut novel Paradise Towers has become one of the best-selling fiction books. Praising Shweta for the achievement, Big B took to social media and wrote: “Nothing brings greater pride to a father than this achievement of a daughter. Daughters are special. From this little ‘ghunghat (veil)’ to the ‘best seller’.” Along with the post, the proud father also shared a childhood photograph of Shweta, who can be seen carrying a red colour veil on her head. Shweta’s book was launched on Amitabh’s 76th birthday last year. It is a heart-warming slice-of-life novel set in an apartment building in Mumbai. (IANS)
