Amitabh Bachchan's Confusing Encounter in New York
Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary Bollywood star, once found himself in a rather amusing situation in New York. This incident not only showcases his charm but also gives a glimpse into his life off the silver screen.

Unforgettable Moments with Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan's Tennis Connection

Amitabh Bachchan often uses the platform of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) to share interesting anecdotes. In a recent episode of KBC 16, he recounted a funny incident that occurred when he was mistaken for tennis star Vijay Amritraj. It all happened when he went to watch Novak Djokovic's match in New York. He was sitting with some fellow Indians and was recognized for his stardom, with people asking for autographs. However, two American women nearby mistook him for Vijay Amritraj, a former Indian tennis player. They assumed he was a famous tennis player just because he was Indian and of a similar height. Amitabh simply smiled and corrected them, saying he was just there to watch the match. This humorous story left everyone on the set amused and added a touch of lightness to his life.

Work Front and KBC

On the work front, Amitabh was last seen in Vettaiyan and Kalki 2898 AD. The latest season of KBC started airing on Sony Entertainment Television on August 12, premiering on weekdays at 9 pm. Amitabh has been hosting KBC since its inaugural season in 2000, except for the third chapter in 2007, which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan. His presence on the show continues to attract audiences and create memorable moments.

Reuniting with Rajinikanth

In Vettaiyan, Amitabh was seen alongside Rajinikanth, reuniting with him on screen after a gap of three decades. The film was released in theatres on October 10 and was a significant event in both their careers. Next, he will be seen in Ribhu Dasgupta's courtroom drama Section 84, adding another exciting project to his repertoire.Catch every big hit, every wicket with Crickit, a one stop destination for Live Scores, Match Stats, Infographics & much more.
