Amitabh Bachchan couldn’t have probably asked for a better gift on his 70th birthday. An art show where he is the primary source of inspiration! What’s more, these art pieces have been photographed and compiled into a coffee table book by none other his wife Jaya Bachchan and ad-man Piyush Pandey. How’s that for a labour of love?
