Amitabh Bachchan was seen with a bling and cash initially in the movie but lost it towards the end. It was noticed that not having a mom was least of his concern due to all the riches he inherited already. Make sure you take a life coverto secure your future once you are not round for them.

Things change when he felt strongly about Preity Zinta, he was ready to make a commitment then. Do likewise, unless you know financial schemes inside out don’t invest.

never kept his nerves calm. He never used to wait for the appropriate timing to
execute any order. He had this now or never attitude while his elder brother
Nana Patekar was the one who used to calm him down and advice him to wait for
the right time to act. Act like Nana be patient and wait for the chicken to
hatch. Liquidating a fixed deposit before the due date could impose a penalty
on you, invest keeping tenure in mind and read all scheme related documents
carefully.
