Amitabh Bachchan had been appointed as Maharashtra's brand ambassador for tigers and was there for jungle safari with ministers and politicians.
He also appealed people to save the big cat's rapidly dwindling population.
"I will consider myself worthy as a brand ambassador when tiger preservation and securing their safety becomes successful. If my voice or face can provide anything good to this initiative, I will pledge myself for it," Bachchan told reporters here at the event.
The "Piku" star took jungle safari and he had a great time.
"I have been in Mumbai for 65 years. But the safari showed me images that I have never seen before. And these are the things that makes me work for it. What makes me proud is that in the middle of the city, there is a national park which is a miracle and we have to save it."
