Amitabh
Bachchan
was
surprised
by
two
things
on
the
Asianet
Award
function
in
Kochi
on
Sunday
evening
(January
09).
The
first
surprise
was
that
he
was
honoured
with
a
huge
garland,
which
was
decorated
with
saffron
and
white
flowers
and
green
leaves.
It
indicated
the
tricolour
flag
of
India.
It
was
so
big
that
more
than
six
people
held
it
while
offering
it
to
the
Bollywood
actor.
Big
B
was
really
amused
and
flattered
by
the
huge-tricolour
garland.
He
felt
that
wearing
this
big
garland
was
a
greater
achievement
than
winning
the
Lifetime
Achievement
award.
Posting
the
photo
of
garlanding
on
his
twitter
page,
he
wrote,
"At
the
Asianet
Lifetime
Achievement
in
Kochi.
The
greatest
achievement
was
wearing
this
ton
of
garland!"
Amitabh's
second
surprise
on
the
occasion
was
that
he
had
very
least
idea
about
the
honours
and
Lifetime
award.
He
felt
somewhat
a
kind
of
dumbfounded
when
he
started
getting
award
and
facilitation
one
after
the
other
on
the
occasion.
He
tweeted,
"Most
humbling
and
gracious
evening
for
me.
They
gave
me
Lifetime.
Surprise,
I
was
not
told
about
it.
Did
songs
scenes,
very
sweet."
He
writes
on
his
blog,
"The
respect
and
dignity
that
they
accord
me
humbles
me
to
an
extent
that
I
am
unable
to
fathom
or
understand.
I
am
but
an
ordinary
individual
that
gets
glorified
through
the
medium
that
I
work
in."
