The story, which he described as unforgettable, recounts a chance meeting that left him deeply impressed. During a stay at a New York hotel, Bachchan recalled receiving a knock at his door. When he opened it, he was surprised to find Michael Jackson standing outside. “I almost fainted but managed to keep my composure,” Bachchan said. The encounter began as a mix-up, as Michael had arrived at the wrong room. After confirming the mistake, Michael sent someone to locate the occupant of the room he had accidentally entered. Eventually, the two were able to meet and engage in a conversation. Bachchan emphasized that despite Michael’s global fame, he remained humble and approachable. Bachchan also shared another memorable experience from a live performance by Michael Jackson in the United States. The event, which took place during a challenging journey from New York, saw the duo securing seats at the back of a stadium. All 350 hotel rooms were booked for Michael and his team, requiring significant effort to secure a viewing spot.
