Surat: Sunil Shah is a jewelry manufacturer and IT businessman from Surat. If he wants, this jeweller from the city can quote his superstar from his blockbuster movie Deewar. ”Mere paas Bachchan ke suit hai..’, Boot hai, gaadi hai..’. And he also has every reason too, as Sunil Shah added another 500-gram gold bust of the legendary actor to his glittering collection on the actor’s birthday on Tuesday.

His obsession with Bachchan continued into adulthood, and he has since collected 10 suits and jackets worn by his idol, as well as two cars driven by Bachchan. Additionally, he owns several letters and souvenirs signed by Bachchan. The list of his collections is endless, but these are just a few examples of what he has in his possession.

“I was inspired by Amitabh Bachchan’s personal life — how he fought challenges in real as he did in reel life,” said Shah, who got the bust blessed by the Thespian actor and will now keep it in his temple.

On the occasion of Bachchan’s birthday, Shah, a devoted fan, organized a grand event on Tuesday night at the Sanjeev Kumar Auditorium. The celebration drew a crowd of approximately 1,200 fans who were all dressed in specially made T-shirts to honor the legendary actor. The event was a perfect tribute to the superstar’s contributions to the entertainment industry, and the fans’ enthusiasm made it an unforgettable evening. The actor will connect virtually in the event for the formal cake-cutting ceremony.

Shah expressed his excitement over Bachchan Sir agreeing to connect virtually, which he considers to be a significant event in his life. He further added that he has been commemorating AB’s birthday or the release of his new movies every year by organizing various welfare activities.

“Sunil’s idea of working for people’s welfare while celebrating his favourite superstar’s birthday is inspirational. All our friends help him in his initiatives,” Jyoti, wife of Shah, told TOI.

Shah’s daughter, Sachi, was, however, a tad unhappy. “My father spent over a month preparing for Bachchan sir’s birthday, while mine doesn’t even require him a week’s planning. the 13-year-old grumbled with a grin.
