And the Shahenshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan had shared a similar bond with his late mother, Teji Bachchan.

Andheri raat par diya jalaana kab mana hai?” This large ‘gulmohar’ tree was planted as a sapling by me when we got our first house Prateeksha in 1976... the recent storm brought it down... but yesterday on my Mother’s birthday Aug 12th I replanted a fresh new Gulmohar tree in her name… at the same spot!”
