Indian cinema icon Amitabh Bachchan Friday presented an Indian student with a scholarship of upto AUD 200,000 (appoximately $185,000) at La Trobe University here. The recipient of the Amitabh Bachchan Scholarship, that runs for four years, is La Trobe graduate Roshan Kumar, who is from Ranchi in Jharkhand. He will works towards a doctorate in the potential of using socialmedia to better communicate health messages to India’s estimated 80 million social media users.“I have grown up watching Amitabh Bachchan in movies. To imagine that I would meet him in person still seems like a dream,” Roshan Kumar said of his meeting with the ‘Angry Young Man’ here.

“I am honoured to receive this scholarship which will help fund my research into improving the health of thousands of people living in India,” added Roshan Kumar, who graduated from La Trobe with a Masters in InternationalBusiness in 2010. The scholarship will be presented every four years by Amitabh, 71, to an Indian citizen to develop a thesis related to media, digital technology and communication.Earlier, the 71-year-old actor had taken to his blog to thank the state of Victoria for naming a scholarship after him. University’s vice chancellor John Dewar said it was an exciting and important day for the institution.
