Bollywood uber-celeb Amitabh Bachchan swept streets in Mumbai yesterday as part of the Swachh Bharat campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mr Bachchan, who was also shooting the grand finale of his TV game show Kaun Banega Crorepati last evening, tweeted:
T 1659 - And before the finale .. it was 'Swach Bharat Abhiyaan' .. went on the streets and broomed and collected dirt to clean up the place

Prime Minister Modi launched the massive five-year-long cleanliness drive earlier this month. He nominated nine prominent Indians - among them Priyanka Chopra, Salman Khan and Kamal Haasan - and asked them to nominate nine others in turn, forming a chain of sorts. Mr Bachchan was tagged by industrialist Anil Ambani.
Salman Khan was spotted cleaning up a corner of Mumbai some days ago, and nominated actors Aamir Khan and Rajinikanth.
