"Once the pandemonium subsided and normal service resumed, Abhishek and Francine had an extremely engaging tête-à-tête, marked chiefly by the star's remarkable candour. He even revealed how he almost quit the film industry when his first few films bombed, but clung on tenaciously thanks to sage advice from his father.
The trademark Bachchan wit was also very much in evidence. Senior followed Junior when Jaya Bachchan was presented with Tongues on Fire's Lifetime Achievement Award. She was overcome by emotion and there wasn't a dry eye in the house when her family went up on stage to celebrate her moment", quotes Naman.
"The celebrations continued at the Park Lane Sheraton ballroom where the ToF team had put together a scintillating collection of Jaya Bachchan's clips. Lord Desai felicitated Jaya Bachchan on stage and some wonderful performances by British Asian artistes followed."
