Amitabh made people cry when he entered the Calcutta Club, not only by his presence, but because he remembered an old friend from the 1960’s. Not only did he remember him, he recognized the man from the crowd and hugged him.

Times of India reports:

He was immediately transported to his “days of struggle” in Calcutta of the 1960s, “when I got my first taste of independence, looking for a job.” The club members reignited memories of Jaya (then Bhaduri) and Satyajit Ray. One of the giant screens flashed a black-and white still of Jaya in Ray’s Mahanagar.

Even Bachchan was caught in the emotion. “This is the city that gave me my wife. I’ll always be the jamai babu here. This city also gave me my desire to enter the films,” he said.

Awww, isn’t that so sweet? I…-sniff- can’t make fun of this –sniff- It’s just so emotional –sob-…I can barely see the screen because I’m tearing up –sniff- Oh damn, there goes my contact…
