With his voice trembling with irony, Bachchan revealed that he was referring to the 1980s, the era that saw the introduction of stage shows. In the US, he got his start with a show that generated a lot of buzz among the audience. The promoters of the show later recommended that, given the show's immense popularity, he should not retreat from the stage during his scheduled performance in Chicago. On the contrary, they suggested that he enter via the audience and use a gate that they would install. They were stopped by police as they approached the performance gate. They forbade Big B from entering. He declared to them that he must go in; he is the performer.

Additionally, Bachchan revealed that Shah Rukh Khan once had a similar encounter with him. When his fame was at its height, he was the special guest on a show in Delhi. The cops detained him as he attempted to enter, and he was already running late. His response was, "I am Shah Rukh Khan!" The officer responded by saying that even though he might be Shah Rukh Khan, he cannot enter the premises. The senior actor revealed that this type of incident occurs frequently.
