Housefull 5 actor Akashdeep Sabir: Sharing screen space with Big B was unforgettable
Akashdeep Sabir with Amitabh Bachchan Akashdeep Sabir, last seen in Housefull 5, recently shared screen space with Amitabh Bachchan for a Kaun Banega Crorepati advertisement. Talking about the experience, he says, 'Magic. Just the sheer thought of doing something involving the legend was a super feeling. My father was the world rights holder and co-producer of Saat Hindustani, which was Mr Bachchan's first film around 1969. More than half a century later, to be working with him as an actor was unforgettable.' Working with a legend like Amitabh Bachchan can make even seasoned actors nervous, but Akashdeep says he wasn't. 'Neither was the Big B intimidating, nor do I get intimidated by anyone's presence,' he shares with a smile, adding, 'The shots were done separately for the ad, but when I told him about our family's connection, he stood up. What a gracious man.' This wasn't their first meeting; years ago, Akashdeep had shot an ad with him, though back then he never mentioned the Saat Hindustani story. Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 Surpasses Salman Khan's Sikandar at the Box Office Akashdeep also recently shot an ad with Pankaj Tripathi . He shares, 'He is a rockstar. His innocence and believability make him such an accepted star. During the shoot, he told me his inspiration to become an actor, Manoj Bajpayee, had worked in a film called Ghaath directed by some Akashdeep. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

Over the years, he has worked with several stars including Tabu, Akshay Kumar, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Rajkummar Rao. Reflecting on those experiences, he says, 'The biggest lesson I've learnt is that acting is very hard work. Watching these great actors nail their characters film after film amazes me. Now that I'm acting more, I realise just how much effort goes into making it look effortless.' When asked if he adapts his performance depending on his co-actors, he is clear. 'No. I try to be the character and let the performance come out naturally. I'm waiting for challenging roles that will test my ability even more.'
