  • Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, the Angry Young Man of the Indian cinema of the 70s, met his counterpart in Indian politics Arvind Kejriwal
at a media conclave in New Delhi. The meeting seemed coincidental since Big B later took pains to clarify that the meeting was accidental and the politicians he met had themselves come to greet him.<br><br>

Big B also write on facebook: FB 511 - I am not in politics or shall ever associate with it, but these leaders were debating at the Conclave in a session just before mine, on coming out from the stage they all came up to meet me while going out and I was going in, political motives into such meetings are without any bearing, there were attempts by the organisers to get me to do an interview with them, on Tv but I refused, so CHILL all you naysayers !!<br><br>
