While taking a jungle safari, megastar Amitabh Bachchan had a great encounter with fear when a wild tiger chased him for 4 kms. It was a horrific experience for Big B at Mumbai's Sanjay Gandhi National Park Reserve.
Big B tweeted about the incident with a photo. #T 2019 - In close company of the Big Cat .. !! And this on a road in the heart of the city ..
On Facebook, he added: "In the company of the Big Cat, in the heart of the city. You cannot imagine the forests that abound in the heart of urban Mumbai. This tiger chased us for 4 kms, very unusual. They do not normally do this. It is in the SGNP Reserve, right within the Film City, where we work so often. Incredible!"
Amitabh Bachchan is the ambassador of Maharashtra government's tiger preservation campaign and he was there for the official launch.
"Driving to the functions to honour a week of this activity as a campaign, one passes through some of the thickest forest edifices that abound in the heart of the city. It is within the premises of the Film City. Many a time leopards have paid us a visit on our sets or our shootings. Many have been trapped and put back into the forest, if they were to wander beyond, but yes, they do stroll around a bit to catch a glimpse of the stars that work within. This has been a revelation. 45 years in the city and never seen the beauty of these natural habitats that abound within the heart of the city. Its lungs!," he wrote on his official blog.
You can see in the pictures AB is enjoying the company of the Tiger!
Last seen in ‘Piku’ with Deepika Padukone, Big B will be seen in ‘Wazir’ starring Farhan Akhtar.
