Celebs from B-town took on to social networking sites to express their happiness
Hours after Sachin Tendulkar retired from his 24 years of cricketing career, the Indian government has conferred him with the Bharat Ratna – the country’s highest civilian award. With this the iconic cricketer became the first sportsperson and the youngest ever Indian to be awarded the country’s highest civilian honour.
Yesterday the entire nation was in tears as Sachin bid adieu to international cricket and today the nation is in a happy mode over Sachin Tendulkar’s Bharat Ratnaaward. Celebs from B-town are no exception. Here is what some B-townies have to say on the God of cricket’s Bharat Ratna award:
Amitabh Bachchan - Bharat Ratna for Sachin Tendulkar !! India breathed comfortably for the past 24 years, as he stepped out to play for the country. Sachin defined cricket .. and cricket got its credence through him ! I am proud and blessed to be a citizen of the country Sachin strode on ! History shall change its chapters with time .. but time and history shall never be able to change what Sachin meant to us all !!
