Actor Amit Sial reveals that ‘Shahenshah of Bollywood’, Amitabh Bachchan inspired him to be an actor on The Kapil Sharma Show

Taking the entertainment quotient a notch higher this weekend Sony Entertainment Television’s most loved comedy show The Kapil Sharma Show will be welcoming the cast of the political thriller series 'Maharani 2' - Huma Qureshi, Sohum Shah, Amit Sial, Pramod Pathak, Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Anuja Sathe.

Enjoying themselves to the fullest, the cast will be seen getting nostalgic on the show and share their special childhood memories and fan moments with host Kapil Sharma this Sunday, 18th September.

During one such conversation, actor Amit Sial spills the beans on how he once hurt his leg while trying to imitate his icon the ‘Shahenshah of Bollywood’, Mr Amitabh Bachchan.

Amit Sial went on to share how Amitabh Bachchan was an inspiration for him to be an actor and said, “Amitabh Bachchan Saab was an inspiration for me. That era in cinema was ruled by Amitabh Bachchan.

I still remember in my hometown in Kanpur there used to be a talkie where we had a shoe business and so we used to get two tickets. My brother and I used to go to the movie first-day first show.

After watching Amitabh Bachchan on the big screen, I would come out and enact like Amitabh ji’s character for around 2 Hours.” Amit also goes on to show off his inner filmy keeda and imitates Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic dialogue of the character, Vijay Deenanath Chauhan from Agneepath; his outstanding performance got him a big round of applause.

When Kapil talks about how movies today, he said earlier movies used to be larger than life but now it has become more realistic, to which Amit Sial shared, “They are still larger than life only the presenting process is changed now.

Once, I landed up breaking my leg because of Mr Amitabh Bachchan as I was inspired by him as he used to jump from the 25th floor and used to land perfectly, when I was around 7 – 8 years old, I too tried it one day and jumped with my cousin and we broke our knees.

I was like if Amitabhji can do it I too can do it.” Listening to this, Anuja too quips in between (laughs) and says she has done the same thing as she was big fan of Shaktiman.”

Tune into The Kapil Sharma Show, this Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television!
