Abhishek said that Ashok’s elder brother Deepak has been his father Amitabh Bachchan’s makeup man for almost 50 years. He said, “For the last few years, he (Ashok) was ill, so he was not always able to come to the set. But whenever I was shooting, he used to come to me and ensure that his assistant did my makeup properly.
