Amitabh Bachchan recalls the time time he met Satyajit Ray, calls him ‘adbhut’

Amitabh Bachchan doesn’t hesitate to engage in lighthearted conversation with the contestants on his game show by sharing personal experiences. Fans were thrilled when the host revealed on Wednesday that he met legendary director Satyajit Ray. Big B began recalling his encounter with the Oscar-winning director as the contestant was being questioned about him. The room, which he described as “adbhut” (amazing), was where Ray had summoned him, he revealed. Additionally, he mentioned that although there were scattered posters and books, the director was fully aware of their whereabouts.

“Satyajit Ray was a trained graphic artist and he used to design his own title card for his film. I met him personally at his house and he called me into his room. Sir, it was an adbhut room in which posters, papers, and books were lying around here all across. You might wonder where have you arrived. But let me tell you if he had to find anything, he would do it immediately, as he knew exactly where everything was placed. In that room, he would also paint a lot of drawings and posters. Even if you see his films in frames then every frame is like a portrait,” he spoke Hindi.

Amitabh Bachchan also thanked his fans for their support throughout the years at the start of the programme. In the previous broadcast, the majority of the studio audience could be seen wearing his iconic avatar. The actor appeared overwhelmed at seeing them when he entered the room. Then he continued to express his gratitude and said that it is only because of the support of his supporters that he is “alive.”

The actor  shared, “I witness miracles every day on this set. As soon as I enter the set and come to the seat, I see their happy faces. I hear their applause and can sense their happiness and excitement. Believe me, every clap adds another breath to my life. I am alive because of them. The relationship that we share along with this show is so special. And not just the set audience but also people watching the show via TV. I can always feel your presence and there’s not a single moment that you haven’t been with me.”
