In his six-decade career, Amitabh Bachchan aka the Big B has been an inspiration for many. From his mannerisms to his impeccable work ethic, Bachchan Sr had been a role model for millions. The latest fan to take a page of the Big B’s book was none other than ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati: Season 14’ contestant Amit Sinha.
Sinha, who is a retired officer of the Government of Bihar’s Registration Department, discussed at length about his scooter. The 62-year-old explained that the scooter is very precious to him as he had bought it after he saw Bachchan ride a bike in his 1974 hit movie, ‘Roti Kapda aur Makaan’.
Speaking about his experience, while on the hot seat, Sinha said, “I cannot believe that I was a part of the biggest celebration of Amitabh sir's birthday. Being a fan of his, it's my honour and my greatest pleasure to have been a witness to the grand event. I think fate wanted me to be a part of the event and so it was my goodwill that I got to witness everything live and become a part of Amitabh sir's emotional experience.” He added that he would pray for the superstar’s longevity. “It still gives me goosebumps. The moments that took back sir to his olden days. I would like to wish him a thousand years more on his 80th birthday. May he live among us and grace us with his brilliance for years to come."
The former officer also shared a video with the audience that showed that he had filled the tyres of his scooter with air before coming to the show.
The Big B was recently given a surprise birthday party by his son Abhishek and wife Jaya who dropped in on the sets of ‘KBC’. Bachchan Jr shared an adorable behind-the-scenes video where he is shown preparing for the birthday bash with the crew.
On the work front, Bachchan Sr will be starring in Sooraj Barjatya’s next ‘Uunchai’. The film also stars Anupam Kher and Boman Irani in key roles. He will also be seen in Vikas Bahl’s action thriller ‘Ganapath’.
