Actor Avinash Mukherjee, who is best known for his portrayal of Jagdish Singh in soap opera "Balika Vadhu", is a "complete fan" of megastar Amitabh Bachchan and loves to mimic him.

Avinash is currently playing Neil's son, Ranbir in Sony Entertainment Television's "Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyar". Everyone on the show's set teases Avinash and even pulls his leg over his admiration for Big B.

Anurag Sharma, who plays RK in the show said in a statement: "Avinash is a huge fan of Big B. He follows him very closely and wishes to be like him. He even walks, sits and talks like him. He always tries to bring in the deep baritone that Big B is famous for."

Avinash admits: "I'm a complete Amitabh Bachchan fan. I love to mimic him. In fact whenever I meet Anurag, he addresses me as 'Bachchan saab'. It's all in great fun. It's my biggest dream to work with him one day."
