Celebrity chef

has always admired the legendary actor
Amitabh Bachchan
, and he has mentioned it in his anecdotes and revealed on several occasions on social media. While both of them are renowned for their exceptional work in the respective fields, they are also known for embracing simplicity and modesty. Recently, Kapoor shared a couple of heartwarming instances of meeting the actor on the set, leaving him with endearing memories.
"I am Amitabh Bachchan"
In an interview with Mashable India, Kapoor shared how he responds when someone mistakes him for another famous face. 'When anyone asks, 'Sir, your name?' My standard reply is, 'I am Amitabh Bachchan.' If you don't know who I am, you decide what you want to do with this information,' said the celebrity Chef. Interestingly, he told the same thing to Amitabh Bachchan when the two were shooting for a commercial together.
When Sanjeev Kapoor met Amitabh Bachchan
As aforementioned, Sanjeev Kapoor met Big B on the sets of a commercial. Initially, of course, there was an air of awkwardness, but as the day passed, they both got very comfortable. The celebrity chef revealed that it was almost mid of the day when the two indulged in a fun conversation, where he told the actor how people, while praising him, say, 'You are Amitabh Bachchan of the
culinary world
.'
He continued, "Yeh mazza nahi hai ki main khaane ki duniya ka Amitabh Bachchan hu, mazza uss din aayega jab vo aapko kahenge ki aap acting ke Sanjeev Kapoor hain (It will be even more fun when people would come and tell you that you are the Sanjeev Kapoor of acting)."
His cheekiness made Amitabh Bachchan laugh as well.
'I told him to tell me if something like this happens, no such luck yet,' he added in the interview, mentioning that they have enough camaraderie to talk amicably.
Amitabh Bachchan, the humble star
As the conversation evolved, Kapoor revealed another instance when they were shooting for a commercial. Bachchan, who is renowned for his 'Parampara, Prathistha, Anushasan,' never arrives late beyond the call time on the sets. While Kapoor reached the set before the call time to avoid any mishap, Bachchan arrived an hour and a half later due to an issue with a hairdo. The 'Don' actor immediately apologised, citing the hairstyle issue. The chef mentioned that Amitabh Bachchan doesn't necessarily need to be that humble, but he did.
Moreover, when Sanjeev tried to touch Bachchan's feet out of respect, the actor instantly grabbed his hand, and before the chef could respond, the 82-year-old said, 'What an honour to be with you, sir.' That's the moment when the chef was flabbergasted, but he expressed his admiration for the actor in the interview.

Sunny Deol once spoke about his long-standing decision to stay away from alcohol: 'I never understood it... it's so bitter, such bad smell'
Sunny Deol shared his reasons for abstaining from alcohol. He recalled disliking it after trying it once in England. His son, Rajveer, recounted a humorous incident. Sunny mistakenly thought Rajveer was drunk after one beer. Sunny spoke about discipline and family values. He acknowledged children make their own choices. Sunny will be seen in Lahore 1947. Sunny Deol once got candid about his personal choices—particularly his long-standing decision to stay away from alcohol. While promoting his son Rajveer's debut film Dono, the Gadar 2 star opened up about discipline, family values, and one memorable moment that involved a single beer and a lot of misunderstanding. In an interview with Mashable India, Sunny had shared his thoughts on alcohol consumption. He recalled trying alcohol for the first time during his time in England in an attempt to blend in socially. However, he found the experience unpleasant—disliking the bitter taste, strong smell, and resulting headache—and decided it wasn't for him. Rajveer also recalled a funny incident when his father mistakenly thought he was drunk after having just one beer. Rajveer shared that he had gone to retrieve his charger from beside Sunny's bed and accidentally tripped over a wire. Sunny, who was half-asleep, caught a whiff of the beer on Rajveer's breath and assumed he was intoxicated—prompting a reaction that left Rajveer laughing as he recalled the moment. When asked if he remembered the incident, Sunny—son of legendary actor Dharmendra—reflected on the value of discipline in his household. He shared that he didn't know when his sons began drinking, just as his own father wasn't aware of many things he did growing up. Sunny believes this sense of distance encourages discipline, acknowledging that children will ultimately make their own choices. He added that despite growing up in a strict family, he still did what he wanted—but never developed a liking for alcohol. Sunny is all set to appear next in Lahore 1947, a film produced by Aamir Khan and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. The project was officially announced on the Instagram handle of Aamir Khan's production house.
