Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan was all praise for Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu after the Rail Budget. But the twist in the tale is that Big B wasn’t exactly gung ho about the budget but about the Minister himself. Bachchan posted this message on his official FB page recently:

The Hon Railways Minister, Shri Suresh Prabhu quoted my Father’s poem in his Rail Budget presentation in the Lok Sabha, Parliament of India .. Felt most honoured ..But appreciate and laud the fact that he called and sought my permission to do so. Mark of flawless ethics and dignified culture !And then when it was over called to ask if the poem was correctly presented .. !!!Aaj ke zamaane mein koi nahin karta aisa ..Amitabh Bachchan (Facebook)
Looks like the Railway Minister has won himself a new fan!
