Now, in videos surfacing online, a few young fans are seen trying to breach security to meet the actor and shake hands with him.
Several videos of Amitabh greeting his fans on his birthday outside his home have surfaced online. Among them, a video showed a couple of children trying to push past security to get close to the superstar. Meanwhile, his bodyguards are seen intervening and moving them away.
Amid the chaos, he continued greeting the crowd with folded hands. He was also seen politely declining a female fan's request to shake hands with him. Big B was seen dressed in a red kurta as he posed in front of a giant garland arranged by his fans. He waved to the fans and even thanked them for their love before heading back inside.
The interaction with young fans has sparked mixed reactions from users online.
