Now it’s official that Sachin Tendulkar is all set to call it a day from the world of cricket after playing his 200th Test match against West Indies. Many are emotional after listening to this, and are expressing their emotions via various medium.

Recently it was Amitabh Bachchan, who has always supported Sachin during his heydays as well as bad days, said that the news of the latter’s retirement came as a shock for him. "I heard the news and I was shocked," Big B said on the occasion of his 71st birthday.

"Sachin is the heart of cricket. He is a phenomenal athlete. He has not just excelled himself in cricket, but he is also a symbol of great excellence. It's unimaginable to see him retire. Cricket will not be the same without Sachin," said Amitabh.

Before Amitabh, Shah Rukh Khan had always made his feeling known on twitter as he spoke about Sachin’s retirement. Shah Rukh said, "O no! Suddenly realised the meaning of addiction. Mine was the Master. I am going thru cold turkey. To see cricket without Sachin? Unbearable."

Well, as they say all good things come to end, same is with the Indian batting maestro. Nevertheless, he will always be remembered!

Courtesy Amitabh Bachchan’s long and successful association with channel Sony via Kaun Banega Crorepati, the viewers of the channel will get to hear the megastar introducing Maharana Pratap's history in the first episode of Sony’s soon-to-be launched television show Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap.

This has indeed come as a great tool for marketing the show as getting someone as great as Mr. Bachchan to lend his mesmerizing is no less than a feat. Roopali Singh of the show said, "What can be a better way to grab the viewer's attention than by roping in Amitabh Bachchan to do the voiceover? He was our first and only choice."

Speaking about the initial narration, Roopali further added, "Bachchanji will talk about how India in the past was like a golden bird and therefore an opportunity for the Mughals, Turks and Afghans to invade it. We are hoping to get a good response." This show will bring forth the lesser known facts and achievements that Maharana Pratap made during his lifetime.

Sony is all set to give other channels a run for their money as apart from Maharan Pratap, Indial Idol junior and Big B’s KBC all are set to enthrall the masses!
