It is not everyday that you spot Amitabh Bachchan in a jungle safari. No wonder when a tiger spotted the veteran actor in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, he decided to follow Bachchan around for a good four kilometres. Bachchan kickstarted his tenure as Maharashtra’s brand ambassador for tigers with an hour long jungle safari in the National Park accompanied by ministers and politicians. And he met a friendly tiger who followed the vehicle he was in.
