Shilpa took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a photograph in which she can be seen flaunting Amitabh’s popular Jumma chumma de de look.

“Playing ‘the legend’ Amitabh Bachchan, the man I love, adore and eulogise. Don’t know how I gathered the gumption to do this. Huge pressure. Farah Khan the things you make me do. Lip Sing Battle,” Shilpa wrote alongside the image.

She added, “Totally into it! Only love Amitabh Bachchan sir. My ode to you! The most difficult task of my life. Respect.”
