Amitabh Bachchan Refused to Buy Best Actor Award
Amitabh Bachchan is a famous Bollywood actor.
He and his friend Dharmendra had strong work ethics.
Once, during an award ceremony, a film writer asked Manoj Desai, a theatre owner, if he would pay for the party if they gave the Best Actor award to Amitabh Bachchan.
