I would see her my mother watching TV while the clothes were being washed in washing machine.”
When Ameya asked what did he gift his parents with his first salary.
Big B recalled, “I had thought of getting a saree for my mother and get a watch for my father. I was working in Kolkata back then. So as soon as I got my salary, I took leave for from office and left from home. I took a train and after reaching home, I gave the saree to my mom and the watch to my father. I thought when he would open the box my father would be happy. But when he opened the box, there was no watch. I realised, I would stay with 5-6 other boys in the same room and the house help stole it. I can’t tell you I was so upset that day. I promised myself to work so hard that I can buy my father not one but 10 watches.”
