CE Features

Actor Sumeet Vyas, last seen in Afwaah, recently participated in The Kapil Sharma Show. And he spoke about his first encounter with the veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan during a film shoot. 

Stating that he is a huge fan of Bachchan, he said that he did not get to meet him on the first day of the shoot. The filming happened in 2005. 
"The scene we were shooting involved a bomb blast, with Bachchan Ji portraying the role of a joint commissioner, and I played the part of an ACP who arrived in a car right after him. Stepping out of the car, I caught sight of Bachchan Ji amidst the shot and greeted him with a namaste while shooting. When we were shooting in Bhopal for a movie, there would be a massive crowd of 30-40,000 people for Amitabh Sir, making it feel like a cricket match was ongoing. One day, during a shoot, there was a huge crowd, and that day, I was also wearing clothes like the crowd. So, amidst the chaos, they pushed me along with the crowd. Then, Prakash Ji, who was directing the film, and Amitabh ji arrived and asked where the actor was performing. I shouted from within the crowd, 'Hey, I'm here!' They then asked me to come over," she shared.
