Vidya Balan went to the premiere of Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na only to wish Aamir Khan and Imran Khan. She thought she would zip in, and out. Yet she ended up sitting and watching the entire film - that too by order. Amitabh Bachchan's order.
The story goes that Vidya, Amitabh Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Juhi Chawla were sitting together in the auditorium and chatting, when Vidya said she had to go for a media interaction for Kismat Konnection.
She got up to say her goodbyes when a baritone voice stopped her: "You can't go, Vidya. You have to see the film," declared Bachchan.
Vidya tried to reason with him, saying she was committed to go. Bachchan then asked her for the number of Kismat Konnection's publicist. Vidya demurred, but he insisted that she dial the number. When she got through, Bachchan took the phone. "Listen, this is Amitabh Bachchan here," he said.

When the publicist refused to believe that it was Bachchan calling her, he asked her if he should dial her from his mobile phone.
By now the publicist knew that it was Mr Bachchan and she had no choice but to do as he said. So, Vidya sat through the entire film. When contacted, Amitabh Bachchan admitted that he had spoken to the publicist and ensured that Vidya watch the film.
