UK PM's wife keen to meet Big B

LONDON: Sarah Brown, wife of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, has revealed that the film star she most wanted to meet is the Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan.

"You know the film star I most want to meet is Amitabh Bachchan - who is a friend of my husband and who kindly took him around Bollywood on a visit he made to Mumbai," Sarah, who was the Chief Guest at the 49th anniversary dinner of Women's India Association of the UK at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower here last night, said.

She said: "In politics you are always looking for good ways to get your message across the people and my husband always laughs when he recounts how he asked Amitabh Bachchan how many people got to see each of his film - about 500 million was the answer."
