He also made a short speech, addressing the eligible bachelors and requesting them to get in touch with the vivacious tax inspector. “those who liked her biodata to get ready for marriage with Foram'. The star also warned that Makadiya was picky and she might change her mind very quickly so candidates might have to return home disappointed!
Some more moments of hilarity were created as Makadiya sat on Bachchan’s chair by mistake. The superstar ended up on the hot seat!
He reacted to the gaffe sportingly and told her, “Foram Ji, main aapko bata nahi sakta hu ki main Aaj Kitna khush hu ki main aaj hot seat pe baedha hu (I can't tell you how happy I am sitting on the hot seat today).”
On the work front, Bachchan was last seen in the road trip drama ‘Uunchai’ along with Anupam Kher and Boman Irani. The Sooraj Barjatya directorial was released on November 11 and was met with positive reviews from critics and appreciation from the audience.

The star ribbed her gently, “aap thoda sa vichitra hain, jana tha waha, pahuch gai yaha (you are a bit weird, you had to go there and reached here).” To that, she replied that even though she gets confused she always ends up in the right place.
