Bachchan said that once he was surrounded by 4 thousand people. These people had come to see Dharam ji. Seeing such a crowd, he started sweating.
Amitabh had told, ‘We had left from Bangalore for Ramgarh but on the way the car started giving trouble. Our car broke down in the middle of the market. It was a busy market and there was a crowd of people. As soon as we got down from the car, people recognized Dharmendra. A crowd of people gathered here to see Dharmendra. About 4 thousand fans came there to see him. Seeing such a crowd, my condition worsened. But Dharmendra ji said don’t worry, come with me. After this, we took an auto as soon as we left the market and rode the auto till Ramgarh and reached the set. Till today I remember this incident.
