The filmmaker had gifted Amitabh a car worth Rs 4.5 crore at that time. When he went to give the car to Amitabh, his mother was also with him and his mother slapped him.
Why did Vidhu’s mother slap him?
Vidhu Vinod Chopra said, ‘I can’t forget this incident. When I went to gift a car to Amitabh Bachchan, I took my mother along with me. She gave the keys to Amitabh. She came back, sat in the car which was a blue Maruti van. She used to call Big B Lamboo. I didn’t have a driver at that time, so I was driving. She asked me- did you give the car to Lamboo?’ I said- yes. To this she said- why don’t you buy the car yourself?
So I said- I will buy the car, there is still time for that. So he said- it must be worth 11 lakhs. So I started laughing because he did not know that this car was worth 4.5 crores. When I told him the price of the car, he slapped me and called me a fool. I can never forget this, because what is the use of money if it cannot give you happiness.
