Actor Amit Sadh recently found himself at the centre of a viral Instagram discussion after a chance encounter with street photography content creators at Khan Market, Delhi. The creators behind @therealstreets_ approached the actor for portraits, only to admit they couldn’t immediately recall his name.
During the interaction, Amit, quipped: “Are you paying in bitcoins?” before jokingly adding, “I am an actor and I don’t work for free.” Eventually, he obliged the photographers, asking, “What do you want?” A woman replied, “Just two or three pictures… humein laga hi tha aap koi actor ho, but yaad nahi aa raha tha kahan dekha hai.” Soon after, a bystander called out his name, and the reel ended with Amit’s portraits.

Use such opportunities,” one user wrote. Others praised Amit for handling the situation with humour and grace. “The way he handled the situation is commendable. I relate with the feeling of people looking at you & not being able to pinpoint where exactly do they know you from,” another noted.
