Well the title must have itself given you the idea about what the essay is going to be all about. Mr. AMITABH BACHCHAN – the minute we hear this name we get the picture of a tall, fair, handsome, well- mannered, talented and successful film star. He is the icon of the Indian cinema.
We all love film-stars but how many of us do get a chance to meet them. Well I was fortunate enough to this chance through my college- MITHIBAI COLLEGE. I was lucky enough to get a chance to attend one of the events which was a part of SHAMITABH promotions held by the INDIA TODAY group for their news channel Headlines today. It was basically an interview session between Ms. Koel Puri the host of the show – COUCHING WITH KOEL which airs on headlines today an English news channel and Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.
I along with some of my friends who were lucky enough too, to get selected and join in to meet Mr. Amitabh, reached JW Marriott hotel in Juhu at 3:30pm half an early before the time on which the interview was scheduled. When we entered the conference hall we saw that there were many other young students from different colleges like NM, etc who were also eagerly waiting for Mr. Bachchan to arrive so that they can see him, hear him, ask some questions, interact with him and finally get a chance to click a picture with him.
As we all are aware how punctual Mr. Bachchan is, proving us right he arrived exactly at dot 4pm in the conference hall neither early nor fashionably late. The moment he arrived we all welcomed him amidst huge round of applause and he also entered the hall like a true gentleman greeted all of us with his extremely generous smile. Once the Q&A session of the host was over, Koel gave us (audience) a chance to interact with Mr. Bachchan so that even we get one chance to interact with a huge superstar like Mr. Amitabh Bachchan on a personal level.
We all asked him different questions, some were related to his experience, and some were related to how should we motivate ourselves? Etc. He answered all our questions patiently. All his answers had a short and meaningful message for the younger generation.
It was one of the most memorable days.
