Amitabh Bachchan is quite active on social media – from Instagram, Twitter to posting blogs – the actor keeps connected with his fans through all these channels. In the blog that he wrote on 15 July, Big B revealed an encounter with a five-year-old that left him stumped.
The actor was working on a campaign when a five-year-old boy asked the actor about his age and said why he is working at the age of 80. He advised him to ‘go home and chill’ like his grandparents.
Big B wrote, “was at work for the RBI campaign and in the scene was a little kid about 5 or 6 years of age .. in the middle of a rehearsal he turned to me and said ..‘excuse me , how old are you ?’
I said ‘80′ !
he snapped back ‘ Oh ! so why are you working ? my grandparents are sitting at home and chilling .. you should do that also ..!!’
I did not have a reply for him ..
Primarily because I was astonished at the precocious veracity of this 5 yr old !
And secondly, I did not have an answer !
So bid him good bye at the end of the shoot , took a picture with him and gave him an autograph, instigated by his Mother , and left ..
The conversation remained with me , as do many matters in this digitally informative encyclopaedic world, and found its placing today .. this morning .. of retired work .. and screamed and waved and applauded the mountainous presence of the live audience at ‘YKW’ ..”
He also took a picture with the kid and left the shoot but the conversation stayed with him.
On Tuesday, the actor also posted a picture of himself from the sets of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. In the picture, the actor is seen in a casual look wearing a white sweatshirt, harem pants, and a scarf.
He captioned the post, “पहन्ने को दे दिया पजामा, लगा साड़ी को फाड़ा , आगे छोटी जेब दे दी, औ’ पीछे लगा है नाड़ा ! (I was given pyjamas to wear, which looked like a torn saree. It has a small pocket in the front with the strings behind).”
Since the look was different from what the actor usually wears, his fans were quick to comment on his post and compared him with Ranveer Singh.
Amitabh Bachchan will be next seen in Ayan Mukerji’s 'Brahmastra' with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
