Even my lost baggage makes news in India: Amitabh Bachchan

Toronto: Amitabh Bachchan may have lost his clothes on a British Airways flight from London to Toronto, but he kept his shirt on at a press conference here to kick off the Unforgettable Tour. Amid peals of laughter, Big B said his loss of luggage had become big news in India. “As we talk, I am happy to know that just because I have lost all my baggage on British Airways, it is national news in India,” he said Thursday.
“I mentioned it in my blog and they (the media) have all means of communication - mobile phones and SMSes. Just before coming here we got delayed because I had to answer about 15 questions on what was the nature of my baggage and whether I was going to sue British Airways. I was told that I should really come on the phone.
“We will welcome your (the media) spirit, your enthusiasm and your interest in us and in our baggage,” Bachchan said amid another round of laughter.
And the 66-year-old Bachchan family patriarch said the Unforgettable Tour could not be his last show abroad. He couldn’t wait to shake his leg tomorrow, he added.
The biggest-ever live Bollywood show will take the Bachchan family - Amitabh, Jaya, Abhishek and Aishwarya - and their co-stars across the globe. This will be the first time that the whole family will perform in a live show.
