When Amitabh Bachchan’s lookalike met Premanand Maharaj

'They become happy': Amitabh Bachchan's lookalike once met Premanand Maharaj, revealed he motivates cancer patients as Big B

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has many fans across the country, but one fan stands out for an extraordinary reason. Shashikant Pedwal not only looks strikingly similar to the megastar but has also dedicated his life to spreading happiness through that resemblance. A few months ago, a video of Pedwal meeting spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj went viral, leaving everyone touched. In the clip, Pedwal shared how he used his uncanny likeness and voice to motivate patients during the Covid pandemic.

When Big B’s lookalike met Premanand Maharaj

A few months ago, a video went viral that showed spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj meeting Amitabh Bachchan’s lookalike, Shashikant Pedwal. The clip caught everyone’s attention as Pedwal, who looks strikingly similar to the legendary actor, spoke about his experience of helping patients during the pandemic.

Shashikant Pedwal recalls helping patients with hope

During their conversation, Shashikant Pedwal opened up about the time when the world was fighting the Covid pandemic. He recalled how he took it upon himself to motivate patients who were struggling both physically and emotionally. He said, “When Covid happened, many people were distressed. People, who were at an advance stage, felt that they would be no more any moment. They were scared. I helped in eliminating that. I didn’t say I was Amitabh Bachchan, but they thought I am him. I told them that there was a time when I was sick and the entire country was praying for me. And today, you are sick, I will pray for you. You don’t need to worry. Within 4-5 days, they felt motivated and even went home after recovering. Since then, I go to the hospital and motivate cancer patients by reciting poems for them. They become happy. I just want to make people happy all my life, that’s my goal now.”

Premanand Maharaj appreciated Pedwal’s selfless service

After hearing his story, Premanand Maharaj praised Shashikant Pedwal for his good deeds. He said, “Bhagwan sab jagah nahi pahuch sakte, aap toh pahuch sakte hain. Yeh acha kiya unhone (Giving happiness to others is the greatest virtue. God cannot reach everywhere, so he has entrusted this work to people like you).”

Spiritual leader advised Pedwal to chant God’s name

After listening to Maharaj’s words, Pedwal asked how he could continue doing his work with even more dedication. The spiritual leader advised him to chant God’s name while meeting people.
