Avinash Tiwary is a famous face in the entertainment world. The actor started his acting acting career with the television series, Yudh alongside Amitabh Bachchan. Avinash also stunned everyone with his top-notch acting mettle in the movies, Tu Hai Mera Sunday, Laila Majnu, and Bulbbul, among so many others. However, in the latest interview, Avinash walked down the memory lane and recalled an incident when he ended up hitting Big B on the set of Yudh.
In an interview with ETimes, Avinash Tiwary recalled giving his first action shot with none other than Amitabh Bachchan. The actor stated that he used to practice his stunts, whereas Big B just did not rehearse to ace that particular scene. Recalling how, despite being 72, Amitabh Bachchan left him in awe of his acting skills, Avinash shared:
"My first action sequence in life was with Amitabh Bachchan. I used to practice with the stunt guys. But Bachchan sir didn't have to rehearse because he has done it all his life. He would join us when the shot was ready. He was 72 when he did this. His legs went over my head. I am 6 feet tall. It was unbelievable."

Going further in the interview, Avinash Tiwary recalled how he ended up hitting Amitabh Bachchan on his head. The actor mentioned that during an action sequence, he hit Big B with his elbow. Sharing what happened next, Avinash mentioned that there was pin-drop silence on the set, and everyone was teasing him that he wouldn't get a film anymore. Mentioning that he thought his career was over, Avinash stated:
"In that action sequence, I hit him on his head with my elbow by mistake. I have a video of it. Everyone on the set was teasing me that I won’t get any films anymore. When I hit him by mistake I felt like my career was over. There was a pin-drop silence on the set. But the director didn't say cut so I swung another blow but it did not hit him."
In the same interview, Avinash further mentioned that after giving the shot, he went to say 'sorry' to Big B. Avinash stated that in some fear, he asked Amitabh if they could do another rehearsal. To this, Amitabh looked at everyone and asked them from where they got Avinash. Talking more about the same, Avinash said:
"After the shot, I went to him to say sorry. He said, 'Yes, you hit me on my head.' And in that fear, I asked him, 'Sir, ek aur rehearsal kar le?' He looked at everyone and said, 'Kahan se laaye ho inhe?' And then said to me, 'Let’s do one more rehearsal.'"
