The 'drug dealer' fan
Bachchan claimed in a tweet from 2012 that a Russian girl had become a drug dealer to get money and visit India to see him. She was apprehended, nevertheless, and jailed. Although it seems difficult to believe, Big B himself has verified this occurrence.
A truck full of samosas!

The fan then sent a truck load of samosas just outside the actor's house when he got home from the hospital. He just needed Bachchan to touch the truck once in order to pass it out to people as "prasad."

30 days of Roza
Another female admirer of Amitabh Bachchan at the time observed a month-long roza and prayed five times daily namaz for his quick recovery from the collision.
