Is there really anything our multi-talented star Ali Zafar cannot do?

Attending the most watched TV show in India, Kaun Banega Crorepati on Wednesday night with his Kill Dil team (Parineeti Chopra, Ranveer Singh and the veteran Govinda), Ali Zafar impressed host and veteran Amitabh Bachchan when he showed Big-B a sketch he had made of the legendary actor at the age of 13.

Bachchan asked Ali to recreate a sketch of him live on the show and the result left him spellbound. The audience and Mr Bacchan were amazed at his talent and gave Ali a hearty round of applause.

The legendary Bollywood actor hugged the singer, who said it was a dream come true for him.

"I have no words for the respect and warmth I received from the crowd and especially Mr Bachchan," said an emotional Ali. "I have grown up watching his films, singing songs of his films and used to sketch him when I was a child. I have been his fan all my life, but after seeing his energy and radiant personality, I have become his greatest fan. The way he hugged me thrice after hearing me sing and seeing the sketch was so heartwarming."

A Yash Raj Films production, Kill Dil is directed by Shaad Ali and is slated to release on November 14.
