Amitabh also recalled a similar incident when he took his parents to a fine-dining restaurant in Delhi after he had started earning. Big B shared, “This man sitting in front of you also had a day when he ate at a restaurant for the very first time. Moti Mahal is a very fine restaurant in Delhi, and I went there for the first time in my life — and that too after I had finished college. I had gone with my parents, and I still haven’t forgotten that occasion, just as you haven’t forgotten yours. By then had also started earning a little, so I took them there.”“Thodi si kamayi hogayi thi, toh le gaya unko wahan. Bada darr laga tha, ye bada restaurant hai yahan bade log jaate hain, hum log nahi jaa paayenge. Agar jaayenge toh log kaise humko dekhenge, kya hoga, kapde humare kaise honge? kaun kya kahega, ye sab mann mein chalta hai, toh hum aapki awastha ko samajh sakte hain (I was very scared because it was a big restaurant where the elite people would go, and we wouldn’t be able to go. I wondered if we went, how would everybody look at us, what would happen, what kind of clothes would we wear? I wondered who would eat what, and a lot of things were going on in my head. So I can understand what you mean).”Also Read | Amitabh Bachchan channels Vijay from Agneepath in new promo of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, watch View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sony Entertainment Television (@sonytvofficial) Amitabh Bachchan also shared another incident about his mother from the shooting of Kabhi Kabhi in Srinagar. “My family would accompany us on outdoor shoots, so my parents were also there.
