Megastar Amitabh Bachchan today politely disagreed with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s suggestion that he should have been honoured with the Bharat Ratna instead of Padma Vibhushan.
The 72-year-old actor, who is also the recipient of the Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri, expressed his views on Twitter.
He wrote:
@MamataOfficial Mamata di .. I am not deserving of such recognition .. most humbled and honoured by what the Nation has given me ..!!

Ms Banerjee had tweeted yesterday that the actor deserved the Bharat Ratna.
The Padma Vibhushan to @SrBachchan not enough. Not enough. He is a legend in his lifetime. He deserves a Bharat Ratna.
