Amitabh Bachchan's abiding love for his parents, the late Harivansh Rai and Teji Bachchan is well known. While his father, the legendary poet, passed in 2003, his mother succumbed to a prolonged illness towards the end of last year. To preserve the memories of his father's literary genius, the Big B plans an aesthetic bookcase for his works.

Amitabh, the devoted son, has preserved many of Harivansh Rai's handwritten poems and books. To conserve them in the right place, he has aksed sculptor Arzaan Khambatta to create an aesthetic bookcase to line up his father's memories. Khambatta says that the Big B called him some time back and asked him to make a bookcase for his father's works. The sculptor is planning to shape it in the form of hands, which appear to be holding these books dearly. Khambatta says that before zeroing in on plans for the design, shape and form of the bookshelf, he would like to read the poems. He feels that it is important for him to know a little more about Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan, so that he can peep into his personality and make a sculpture, which would befit a person of his stature. Earlier, in 2004, he had sculpted a figure of the Big B titled Humble Bee for a channel but landed up gifting it to the superstar himself on his birthday on October 11. Since then they have been in touch and the sculptor is very happy that the Big B has placed his trust in him.
