Nirmit Jesrani, a neighbor of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, has finally met the legendary actor after a video he shared of Bachchan’s iconic Sunday fan interaction went viral on social media. This heartwarming encounter took place just days after Jesrani publicly expressed his admiration for Bachchan’s humility and his desire to meet him.
On Monday, February 9, Jesrani posted a video featuring himself alongside Amitabh Bachchan outside the actor’s Mumbai residence. The clip captured the memorable moment, complete with a glimpse of Big B’s autograph. Overwhelmed with excitement, Jesrani exclaimed, “I finally met Amitabh Bachchan, the Shahenshah of Bollywood. I can’t believe it, but I can never forget today’s moment. I am so happy, meri khushi ka toh thikana nahi hai. The whole day I was thinking about our meeting.”
From Viral Video to Personal Meeting
The meeting was orchestrated after Bachchan’s team reached out to Jesrani, following the viral success of his initial video. Jesrani explained, “I was called to Jalsa at 5 pm, my appointment with sir was fixed. I had received a message from his team that he was ready to meet me. So, I went there and waited for him.”
Jesrani also had the unique opportunity to witness Bachchan’s Sunday ritual up close. “He came, greeted his fans, and I witnessed the Sunday darshan live from his house,” he shared, highlighting the actor’s enduring tradition of connecting with his fans.
A Humble Interaction with a Bollywood Icon
During their interaction, Jesrani was struck by Bachchan’s humility. “When I went to touch his feet, he stopped me and asked me not to. He also obliged for photos. He is very humble and down-to-earth,” Jesrani recounted.
Every Sunday, Amitabh Bachchan steps out of his Juhu bungalow to greet hundreds of fans who gather outside his home. This ritual has become symbolic of his enduring bond with admirers, a tradition that has continued for years.
