Mohammed Kaif, the veteran cricketer was invited to The Kapil Sharma Show this weekend along with Virender Sehwag. In the episode, Kaif shared several anecdotes and funny incidents. Also, he shared an incident meeting Amitabh Bachchan, that left the audience in splits.
Kaif said, “If you ever step into UP whether it be a tea stall, a ‘paan’ vendor, hostel, college, everyone is in Amitabh Bachchan’s garb! Thus, since childhood, I felt like Amitabh Bachchan was our very own!”
He added on an incident meeting the BIG B, saying, “Amitabh Bachchan looked at me and he recognized me, he greeted me normally. I was so excited! I told him I watched his film ‘Shahenshaah’ a lot of times and he was answering my questions. But I think he wanted me to have patience while asking him numerous questions. Yet, I was continuously asking him questions.”
He continued, “I now feel I did wrong with Amit Ji, of course, I was excited but I should not have bombarded him with questions. He was sitting beside me, looking at me and politely answering all my questions. Amit Ji, if you are watching this show, you have really given me your precious time and given me answers, such that I feel like I have heard the whole of Allahabad’s story. I would like to thank him.” as quoted by Pink Villa.
