It seems that Sharad Kelkar who was last seen essaying the role of Thakur Digvijay Singh  in COLORS' Bairi Piya has got this year's biggest gift, just before the year 2010 drew to a close. Well, the actor just can't stop smiling for getting an opportunity to share screen space with the mighty Amitabh Bachchan.

Yes, you heard it right!! Sharad Kelkar has shot for a commercial for ICICI Bank Insurance along with the Living Legend, Big B. They both spent 2-3 hours on the sets, and the commercial is most likely to hit the TV screens in mid January.

An overwhelmed Sharad Kelkar tells TellyBuzz, "The most memorable moment of my life was when I shared screen space and interacted with Amitabh Bachchan for 2-3 hours. I know that I sound very crazy at the moment, but it was a great feeling to work with an institution like him. Big B is superb, he is simply great.  I think every actor should get a chance to work with him at least once in his life time and I am truly lucky".

Sharad goes on and on, "Amitabh is humble, sweet, hardworking, energetic, and perfect. Until and unless he gets everything in shape he tries and tries hard to get it. We spent lovely time on sets, we cracked jokes, and we rehearsed together. I think I have got my biggest gift from the year 2010."

We hope Sharad gets many more such surprises in the New Year too!!
