Mumbai, Jan 2 (IANS): Blame it on the Delhi fog, Abhishek Bachchan couldn't make it to the "Bigg Boss" set to promote his film "Players". His flight from Delhi got delayed and instead of Friday evening, he landed here early Saturday morning.

"As per schedule, Abhishek was all set to proceed to Karjat to shoot for 'Bigg Boss' on Saturday morning with the rest of the 'Players' team without any sleep. But then the 'Bigg Boss' host Sanjay Dutt heard of Abhishek's agonizing travel ordeal.

"Sanjay behaves with Abhishek like a big brother. He ordered Abhishek to get some sleep and to leave the 'Players' promotion to the rest of the film's cast. 'I'll handle it, don't worry,' Dutt told the Bachchan Jr. And the matter ended there. Abhishek always listens to his 'Sanju Sir'," said a source close to the junior Bachchan.

Though Abhishek missed his appointment on "Bigg Boss", his co-stars Sonam Kapoor and Neil Nitin Mukesh featured on the semi-finals of the show.
