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.
