"Tomorrow (Wednesday) there is more activity and honour coming my way, by meeting up with the Speaker of the Parliament and to be taken around to the most private and secure parts of the structure, ending in presenting me with the Global Diversity Award...so humbling," he posted on his blog.
Amitabh was honoured with the Padma Shri in 1984 and the Padma Bhushan in 2001. In July 1999, he was named the 'Greatest Star of stage or screen of the Millennium' by a BBC online poll.
