The 23-year-old Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra showed the three different grips used to throw the Javelin and also showed his preferred ones to the veteran actor. The duo also shared a laugh together as the young player stated, ''Main aapko phek ke dikha deta par...'' (I would have demonstrated my throw here..) to which Bachchan was quick to discourage the idea saying, ''Sir, bilkul mat kijiye sir'' (Please do not do it, sir). This earned a round of laughter from the audience.
