MUMBAI: Ankush Kalyan, who is currently seen in Splitsvilla Season 12, is on cloud nine. Reason? He recently got an opportunity to share screen space with megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

A source informed us, 'Yesterday, Ankush shot a TV commercial for the Indian government with Big B. The TVC is based on energy conservation.'

The model-turned-actor was extremely excited after the shoot.

TellyChakkar got in touch with Ankush, and he said, 'It was a dream come true. I feel privileged that I got an opportunity to work with Bachchan Sir at an early stage in my career.'

Sharing his experience, Ankush said with a twinkle in his eyes, 'It was memorable and fantastic. It's not like you get a chance to work with such a brilliant actor everyday. He is the 'Star Of The Millennium', but he was so polite and grounded. I was star-struck and wanted to capture the moment. That's why I asked if he is comfortable with clicking a picture. He graciously obliged and later asked me to show the picture to him. While checking the pictures, he complimented me saying that I am looking handsome.'

Way to go, Ankush!

Talking about Splitsvilla 12, Ankush has found a connection in model Ahana Sharma, although they’re not an ideal match.
