In the letter, dated January 9, Bachchan lauded the actor for her writing skills and sense of humour.

"The term 'spine and spunk' comes to mind on picking up your book... It doesn't matter how much polite and self- deprecating fluff you have on the outside.

"Even though on the surface you are sort of reticent and shying away from the spotlight, your genuine and funny sense of humour has been skilfully portrayed confirming that you possess a steely something in the middle that says 'You know what, I'm actually really really good at this, and this is what I can do, and now I have done it'," he wrote.

Published by Penguin India, the book hit the bookshelves in December last year.
