This is not the first time Big B has sent beautiful hand-written notes to celebrities who have impressed him with their on-screen performances. In fact, Ranveer confessed to Bollywood Life that this is not the first time he received a note from Amitabh.

"I got my first award this morning! Mr Bachchan sent me a letter! I find it difficult to express in words what that means to me. I have such a deep connect with Mr Bachchan and admiration. He's sent me a few notes for some of my performances, every time I get a hand written letter, I frame it and it doesn't even stay in the house."

Do you know where he keep those hand-written notes? Ranveer told the entertainment portal, "It goes directly to my bank locker. That's how much value I have for it. So my trophies are kept on display in the house and his letters, my most prized possessions are locked up in the bank account."

Ranveer's performance in Padmaavat as the brutal king Alauddin Khilji, has garnered appreciation from all quarters. The actor brought out the anger and cruelty of his character on the silver screen like a boss.
