I didn't know who Amitabh Bachchan was! - says this actress!

A debut film with Amitabh Bachchan? Who wouldn't love to be part of such a film. But what if someone doesn't even know who Big B is? Yes! Things like these do exist.

The newbie in Bollywood, Andrea Tairang who made her debut with Amitabh Bachchan starrer Pink didn't know who this megastar was!

In an exclusive interview with an entertainment portal, Andrea spoke about what actually happened and how she bagged a role in PINK.

When asked about the same she replied," It's a long story, actually I have my own band in my hometown and I sing as well. I had come to Mumbai for some work with respect to singing and then Shoorjit Sircar wanted someone from my region to play a particular role and then convinced my dad and he called me from my hometown that I should give an audition here in Mumbai. However, I gave the audition and it was all in Hindi. I am not fluent in Hindi I was terrified and took hours to say one line. Somehow I managed to give it a shot and then I was packing my bags to head to my hometown and to my surprise I got a call from production house that I have been selected for the role." (sic)

She revealed why she did the film and wasn't aware about Mr. Bachchan's presence in the film. She said,"I said yes thinking if I do the film I will get some pocket money. I didn't know who Amitabh Bachchan was, I had heard of his name. I don't understand Hindi so I haven't watched his films and then when I got to know that I will be working with the Amitabh Bachchan I started watching some of his films and my dad said he is a huge icon in Bollywood industry."

Well, Andrea is definitely a lucky girl who got a chance like this!
