I am ordinary: Big B

Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan finds it embarrassing to be tagged as the 'Star Of The Millennium' saying the title came his way due to a computer error perhaps, and insists he is just an "ordinary artiste". It was in 1999 when the BBC honoured him with the title after an online survey, but Amitabh recalls it was his co-actor Govind Namdev, who told him that he was 'Star Of The Millennium'. 

"But I never believed in it... There is one secret behind it. The BBC News, which conferred the honour on me, conducted an online survey where they asked people to vote for an actor whom they thought was the most popular in last 100 years.  "And because of that online survey thing, some votes came my way and I feel it's a computer error and there is no truth behind it."
