Amitabh Bachchan recalls

This week on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, host Amitabh will be seen interacting with participant Premswaroop Singh Negi from Delhi, a retired general officer of the SSB.

During the conversation, it is revealed that Premswaroop is a tennis fan and player, and would appreciate Big B for his love for the sport.

At that time, Amitabh mentioned that he once had the opportunity to attend a tennis tournament in New York and said: Novak Djokovic is my favorite. He plays so beautifully and he even imitates other players.”

Amitabh then recalled a humorous moment from a trip to New York. He said: I was sitting there with some fellow Indians, and they recognized me and asked for an autograph. But what happened next was kind of funny. Two American women sitting nearby looked at me a few times and then said, “It's a pleasure to meet you, Vijay Amritraj.”

On how he reacted to the mistaken identity, Amitabh said: They assumed I was Vijay Amritraj, a former Indian tennis player, probably because I was Indian, our height was about the same and they thought that if I was surrounded by people who cared asked for autographs, I must be a famous tennis player too. I just smiled and said, I'm not a tennis player. I'm just here to watch the match. I didn't go further and tell them who I really was.”

The funny story kept everyone present on set amused.
