At 73, Amitabh Bachchan may have done it all, but he’s never done a selfie interview yet.
But there’s always a first time, and we got Big B to face our mobile camera and selfie stick.
Watch it here (Or read the transcript of the interview below the video):
Rohit Khilnani: Mr Bachchan let me introduce you to my selfie interview...
Amitabh Bachchan: I am absolutely astonished, amazed and bewildered by this technology. I wish you all the best, this is the first time I am doing a selfie interview. I don’t know what the results are going to be like but in most of the selfies people make faces, do you want me to make a face and give you the interview. (Makes funny faces)
