Mumbai, Sep 10 (NationPress) Renowned Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan shared a terrifying experience involving an elephant during a jungle safari. He recounted this gripping tale on the latest episode of his quiz show, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’.
A newly released promo featured the actor discussing the moment when fellow safari-goers in Africa inadvertently provoked an elephant.
He recounted, “In Africa, we visited a safari park to observe wildlife. As we journeyed, we encountered an unexpected traffic jam. Curious about the delay in the jungle, we learned that an elephant was blocking the road. We remained still.”
However, one impulsive tourist in an adjacent vehicle decided to accelerate past the elephant, provoking its ire. The elephant retaliated by forcefully striking that car and then began charging towards the other safari-goers.
Big B explained, “The car ahead of us had been stationary for quite some time. The elephant turned and struck it with his trunk. After surveying the traffic jam, the elephant began racing towards us.”
“Every vehicle shifted into reverse, hastily retreating. The elephant continued its chase for about 5 miles. Fortunately, rangers intervened, allowing the elephant to reunite with its mate. We narrowly escaped,” the actor concluded.
