When Amitabh Bachchan decided to re-connect with his alma mater, the Sherwood College in Nainital, as part of the NDTV-Dettol Banega Swachh India 12-hour Cleanathon, he had no idea it would turn out to be so special.
What was supposed to be a simple question-answer round about the cleanliness drive, turned into a powerful and emotional moment for Sherwood’s most famous alumna.
