Amitabh Bachchan Takes A Lift From Bike Rider To Reach Work On Time

New Delhi: Superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s punctuality is as legendary as the star himself. But recently, the Mumbai traffic was unrelenting and the Unchai actor realised he would get late for his shooting location. So, he did what most ordinary people do. He hitched a ride from a stranger on a bike. Of course, the stranger was too happy to oblige Big B.

In a photo shared by the actor, he is seen riding pillion on a bike, dressed in a pair of black pants and a jacket. In the caption, he said: “Thank you for the ride, buddy. Don’t know you but you obliged and got me on time to the location of work …faster and in avoidance of the unsolvable traffic jams. thank you capped, shorts and yellowed T-shirt owner.”

In response to the post, actress Sayani Gupta said, “Had always heard Mr Bachchan has always been the most punctual. Can see today what honouring Time truly means to you. I hope actors can learn a thing or two from this.”

Big B’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda dropped heart and heart-eye emojis. Rohit Bose Roy wrote: “You are the coolest dude on earth Amit ji! Love you.” Director-actor Rakesh Roshan said, “Always inspiring.”

While the comments section is filled with compliments praising the 80-year-old superstar for his dedication to his work, several others also pointed out how Amitabh Bachchan and the man riding the bike were not wearing helmets.

“Where is the helmet sir,” one fan asked.  “Sir helmet zaroori hai  pehenna… Topi se kaam nahi chalega [Sir, it is mandatory to wear a helmet. Just a cap won’t do],” another user said. “Computer ji challan online challan kar do jaldi sa without helmet ka [Computer ji, fan them for riding with a helmet],” one fan wrote, making a pun on Big B’s trademark line from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
