Amitabh likes tennis star Novak Djokovic

Mumbai, Nov 27 (UNI) Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has revealed on the show of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) that he likes tennis star Novak Djokovic a lot.

This week on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, hosted by Big B on Sony Entertainment Television, viewers will see Delhi resident Premswaroop Singh Negi, a retired SSB general officer, who always dreamt of appearing on KBC.

An ardent tennis fan and player, Premswaroop shared his love for the game with Amitabh Bachchan, and said that he once had the opportunity to participate in a tennis tournament.

In response, Amitabh Bachchan smiled and said, "I like Novak Djokovic a lot. He plays very well, and he also imitates other players."

Amitabh Bachchan shared a funny and memorable moment from a trip to New York, where he went to watch a tennis tournament. He said, "I was sitting there with some fellow Indians, and they recognised me and asked for autographs. But what happened next was even more amusing. Two American women sitting nearby looked at me several times and then said, 'Nice to meet you, Vijay Amritraj.'"

He laughed softly and added, "They thought I was former Indian tennis player Vijay Amritraj, probably because I was Indian, our height is quite similar. I must be some famous tennis player. I just smiled and said, 'I am not a tennis player. I am just here to watch the match.' I did not tell them further who I really am" Amitabh added.

Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 airs every Monday to Friday at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
