Once the audience settled down, Amitabh turned to both of them and said, “Can I ask a question? Can I touch this medal?” They obliged immediately and handed the medals to him. “Nahi, nahi, pahnunga nahi main (No, no, I won't wear them),” he clarified as they removed the medals. He held both the medals and said, “Arre ye toh bhaari hai acha khaasa (These are pretty heavy).” 

“Apne neeji jeevan mein isko pehane ka afsar milega nahi, ek baar choo le bus, yehi bahut hai humare liye (I will not get the opportunity to win a medal in my life, just touching them is enough for me),” he added.

The previously released promos have teased that Amitabh, Neeraj and Sreejesh had a fun time together. Besides answering the questions, Amitabh also asked Neeraj to translate and deliver lines from his movies in Haryanvi. While the sports star delivered the famous ‘main aur meri tanhai’ line from Silsila in Haryanvi, he taught Amitabh to say his famous ‘Ye tumhare baap ka ghar nahi hai…’ line from Zanjeer in Haryanvi. 

Amitabh also learned the basics of javelin throw from Neeraj and played hockey with Sreejesh on the sets. The actor ended up scoring a goal as well.
