Speaking about the letter, it reads, "On Amitabh and my admiration My Dear Amitabh: With tears of pride in her eyes Saira handed over the print out of your eloquent tribute to my work in your blog. I read it once, then again and again. As you yourself would be keenly aware, we actors are completely oblivious of ourselves and our surroundings while we perform and, even when we watch our work in the rushes shown to us, our senses and vision are trained to detect shortcomings more than accomplishments."

Showering praises on Amitabh Bachchan, the late actor's letter further reads, "If any Indian actor, in my personal opinion, deserves the world's most coveted award, it is you. I have heard so much about Paa which we didn't catch up with." You know how Saira is- she never could see me die in my films and she could not muster the courage to see your death scene in Paa."

At the end, the letter says, "Thank you, Amitabh, for your warm love and good wishes. May God keep you, Jaya, and your family happy always."
