Amitabh Bachchan remembers Sir Christopher Lee

Now at a time where big stars from the East meet great personalities of the West, yesterday marked a sad historic day for the Hollywood film Industry. However news of the death of Sir Christopher Lee touched many hearts beyond, including Amitabh Bachchan, who seems to have fond memories during his encounters with the late great actor.

“Some years ago I was invited to be on the jury for the Miss World Contest, in South Africa, soon after our own Miss World debacle in ABCL. Sir Christopher Lee was on the panel of judges with us and I remember the wonderful time spent with him during the contest. He was a great company; played a few rounds of golf with him during the off moments,”��NDTV reported Bachchan stating.

Bachchan went onto say, “A few years later I got a note from him that he was on his way to India to film a chapter in the history of pre independent India. He was playing Jinnah, the Founder of Pakistan. I was travelling and could not respond to him. Sad that I missed his company and the opportunity to host him here in Mumbai. Prayers and peace in condolence.”

93 year old Lee died in a London hospital from heart failure.
