Vir Das shared a picture on X and wrote an interesting caption, in which he expressed his special feeling after meeting Amitabh Bachchan. The comedian-actor wrote, “Only in Mumbai ❤ Some days us mortals get to meet our idols. I remember the week I was an answer to a question on KBC. I watched Mr Bachchan say my name on TV and recorded it with my phone. To me, that was it. All the memories I ever needed.”

Vir Das concluded his note by stating, “Never in a million years did I imagine I would get to meet him and tell him what him and his art means to me, to all of us. Was more nervous about that, than anything I’ve ever done. He was gracious, warm, funny, friendly and reinforced why we all idolise him. So incredibly grateful #HappyPatel is a movie, but this moment is pure happiness.” (sic) Vir Das was accompanied by Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi and Mithila Palkar.
