The most popular actor in Bollywood

First a helicopter arrived in the village.

Many people shouted “Amitabh Bachchan” because he was the favorite actor in the village.

The brother of the hero blocked him in the toilet. So he couldn’t see his idol.

The child jumped in the toilet but he protected his photo for an autograph.

At the end, he could have his autograph; the police didn’t touch him because he was dirty and disgusting.

But finally his brother backstabbed him; he sold his photo for nothing (2 rupees).

He will remember this episode because he was both ecstatic and angry.
