Gaurav Chopra is a huge Amitabh Bachchan fan, and so he was mighty excited to pay tribute to the Big B at the recently concluded Gold Awards in Mauritius. The actor performed to the Khaike paan Banaraswala and Jumma Chumma songs as a part of his tribute, but little did he know that the paan he chewed on stage would leave a rather bad taste in his mouth!
Chew on this!
Staying true to the original song, Gaurav chewed on what was supposed to be a Banarasi paan for the Khaike song. However, sources revealed that it was actually a random leaf that someone plucked off a tree and gave to him!
A backstage source says, "During rehearsals, Gaurav was told he would be chewing on paan to get the act right. However, minutes before going on stage, someone gave him a leaf that definitely wasn't Banarasi paan. He spat it out as soon as he realised it wasn't paan."
Talking about the incident, Gaurav says, "I was supposed to chew on a paan, but was given something else instead. As soon as I chewed on it, I realised my mistake, but I couldn't do anything as I had to go on stage seconds later."
The actor adds that such incidents happen at award ceremonies and is happy that he didn't suffer any kind of poisoning. "I am a huge fan of Mr Bachchan and am glad I got an opportunity to dance to his songs. As for the paan incident, thankfully nothing serious happened, so I was lucky."

thanks for sharing.
but what is this yaar? where was the whole bunch of photographers? 😡 had they clicked only one snap from his whole performance? 😡 if they say..they were hooked to the act so much that they forgot to click snaps..i will calm down. 😉

thanks for sharing Anishma ... 😊

his performance looks very good, and the pan thing is hilarious!!

Thanks for sharing.
Yes looking forward to the performance.
Incidentally, its great that the leaf was not poisonous... otherwise it could have been definitely harmful and possibly dangerous.

👏 Amazing man..... Maine theek se dekha na tha... Gaurav does look totally total different 😛
