“Bhai himself came over” - Yashasvi Jaiswal’s stunning story of meeting Bollywood superstar

India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has shared a fascinating story about meeting Bollywood superstar Abhishek Bachchan. The 23-year-old recently appeared in a YouTube video with Mashable India (released on Friday, September 19), where he was asked if he had ever received advice from any Bollywood actors.

Speaking on the matter, Jaiswal revealed that he had spoken once to KL Rahul’s father-in-law and veteran actor Suniel Shetty, and also shared a memorable anecdote about meeting Abhishek Bachchan. He said:

“I once got to talk to Suniel Shetty sir, and I met Abhishek Bachchan once at Soho house. It felt really nice meeting them. Abhishek bhai said, “We love seeing you batting. We always watch you play.” That was amazing for me. He was going somewhere, and he saw me, and I also saw him. I didn’t really know what to do or say, but bhai himself came over. I guess he saw that I wanted to meet him. So he came, took the right turn, and I went to meet him. I really enjoyed meeting them. It felt really good. They are very nice.”

Yashasvi Jaiswal is next expected to be in action in the two-match Test series against the West Indies, starting October 2 in Ahmedabad.

If he’s explaining something about someone, he’ll give all the details. He’s just amazing. I mean, if you ask me something, I might explain it in a way that’s funny but it might not feel funny. But if he explains it, you will 100% laugh for sure.”
