Amitabh Bachchan has always been vocal about the ongoing issues in the country. When the terror attacks of 26/11 shook the nation, many celebrities voiced protests. Amitbah Bachchan put on a heartfelt performance at Indian Express’ 26/11 Stories of Strength in November 2018, in true patriotic manner. Here’s taking a trip down memory lane with the throwback video.
