Here’s what Amitabh Bachchan told Kapil Sharma when he met him while drunk: ‘Get up, stand on your feet again’

Actor-comedian Kapil Sharma recently appeared on the show, Aap Ki Adalat. The actor recalled a moment when his anxiety made it difficult for him to leave the house without consuming alcohol. He also discussed how he met Amitabh Bachchan when drunk and acknowledged that it was a humiliating experience for him.

Kapil said that he never had a drinking problem and explained that it was because of anxiety he used to feel that he would not be able to go in front of anyone or speak to anyone. Explaining about how he met Bachchan for a shoot, the comedian said, “Bachchan sahab ne bola ki main subha aaraha hoon. Kyuki meri film ke voice over ke liye aarahe the toh mera farz banta hai ki main jaake unke welcome ke liye khada rahun. Main bahar nahi nikal pata tha ghar se, awastha waise thi toh mujhe laga 2 (drinks) le lete hai (Bacchan sir said that he will come in the morning. Since he was coming for the voice-over of my film, it was my duty to welcome him. But I was not in a position to get out of my house, hence I consumed alcohol).”
