‘Tea reminds me of my grandfather’
Tea serves as a catalyst to bond with your loved ones and fire up conversations. This is exactly what Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone did at a recent meet and greet hosted by Brooke Bond Red label as a concluding session of the highly successful contest that gave winners a chance to meet the dynamic father daughter duo of Piku.
The television contest included a TVC where the actors asked the viewers to give a miss call on a designated number and win a chance to meet them. Deepika shared details on the first cup of tea she had with a special someone. She said, “Tea reminds me of my grandfather. As children, we would often go to his house in Bangalore and tea was always being made in the kitchen for either him or for the guests. On days that he would not make tea, I could tell the difference because in my opinion, making chai is a very personal thing. It’s a mood thing.”
