Big B Reminisces About ‘Bengali Market Chaat and Chandni Chowk’s Paranthe Wali Gali’

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan remembered the chaat of Delhi, Bengali Market, and the paranthe wali gali of old Delhi Chandni Chowk.

In the promo of "Kaun Banega Crorepati," Amitabh was seen asking a contestant as to which mall she will visit after she wins the amount. To this, the contestant replied that it is no fun shopping in a mall. It is fun shopping in "Sarojini Nagar and Lajpat Nagar market."Replying to the contestant, Amitabh, an alumnus of Delhi University's Kirori Mal College, spoke his "dil ki baat" and said: "Ek dum dil ki baat keh di aapne. Dilli walon ke liye Sarojini market hi sabse ahem jagah hai. Woh aur Bengali market main chaat aur Chandani Chowk main paranthe wali gali."

On Wednesday, Big B said his 'work and day routine' has undergone a change as he now rises and rests early. The cine icon took to his blog, where he wrote: "And the work and day routine undergoes a change. an early rise, an early rest. and the rest be blessed. praying that this fructifies." He then remembered his late father and poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan's "shlok in Sanskrit." "And again Babuji's shlok in Sanskrit is remembered, on the early rise and the resting during the day, and the loss thereof… had recited it on KBC once, " he wrote.

The thespian mentioned that he was off to the "work shop of the body" and then "work of the sound."

On the professional front, Amitabh, who was last seen in Nag Ashwin's "Kalki 2898 AD" along with Prabhas, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone, has also lined up "Vettaiyan" for release, which is directed by T. J. Gnanavel and shared screen space with superstar Rajinikanth. The film marks Big B's first-time collaboration with Tamil cinema.
