Amitabh Bachchan once kissed an actress who was rumoured to marry Abhishek Bachchan, she was 36-years younger than Big B, her name is...
Amitabh Bachchan began his acting career in 1969 with Saat Hindustani, but it took him 36 years to had his first on-screen kiss in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black (2005) . The critically acclaimed drama featured Big B alongside Rani Mukerji in a pivotal role, with Ayesha Kapur, Shernaz Patel and Dhritiman Chatterjee in supporting characters.
Black marked the first time when Amitabh Bachchan shared an on-screen kiss with a co-star. In the film, Michelle, portrayed by Rani Mukerji, develops romantic feelings for Debraj, played by Amitabh Bachchan and even asks him to kiss her. This moment leads to an intimate kiss between the two characters. At the time of filming, Big B was 63 and Rani Mukerji was 27, resulting in a 36-year gap between them.
While the lip-lock scene between Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji sparked a lot of buzz, according to reports, it didn't settle well with Junior Bachchan. Abhishek Bachchan, who was rumoured to be in a serious relationship with Rani Mukerji, was furious seeing his girlfriend sharing such an intimate moment on-screen with his father. Reports claim that Abhishek was left upset, and began distancing himself from Rani.
Despite Rani's efforts to clear the air and repair their relationship, the rift had already taken its toll. Their once-strong bond eventually faded, and Abhishek cut all ties with her. The situation reportedly escalated to an extent that Rani was not even invited to Abhishek and Aishwarya's wedding in 2007.
Following the incident, Rani gradually distanced herself from the Bachchan family. The alleged fallout between Rani and Abhishek also appeared to influence casting choices. Due to the lingering tension between them, Saif Ali Khan replaced Abhishek Bachchan in Bunty Aur Babli 2.
While neither Rani or Abhishek has ever publicly addressed this controversy, but their visible distance over the years has been hard to ignore.

'Blouse tight silna...': Hema Malini demanded this during Baghban to enhance chemistry with Amitabh Bachchan, said 'that touch...'
The audience thoroughly enjoyed the on-screen chemistry between Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in Baghban. Their powerful performances earned widespread praise, and the duo was honoured with the Screen Award for Jodi No. 1. Both Bachchan and Malini also received nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress at the 49th Filmfare Awards. Both actors brought life to their characters in this film. Released in 2003, Hema and Amitabh played the role of parents of four children. Amitabh Bachchan's character was Raj Malhotra, and Hema played the role of Pooja Malhotra. Filmmaker Ravi Chopra's wife, Renu Chopra, recently shared an anecdote. She said that Hema was wholeheartedly attached to the project and was completely immersed in the character of Pooja. She even improvised in many scenes. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Renuka spoke about various aspects of the film. She also revealed how Hema Malini requested to have her blouse stitched much tighter than usual. Renuka explained that in one of the scenes where Amitabh Bachchan had to fasten Hema's blouse, the veteran actress wanted a certain look on her face to deliver the best emotional impact. During the conversation, Renuka said, 'There was a scene where she was getting ready, standing in front of a mirror. At that time, Raj comes from behind and, upon seeing her, says, 'Wow.' Hema asked me to stitch her blouse a bit tighter so that when Amit ji comes, he can fasten it tightly. She said, 'That touch would give me the look I want'—one that conveyed, 'He's touched me. After so many years of being married, it meant so much.' She is a very romantic person in real life.' Let us tell you, Pooja Malhotra's role was first offered to Tabu, but she refused because she was only 36 years old at that time and did not want to play the role of a mother of 4 children. Later, she worked with Amitabh Bachchan in 'Cheeni Kum'. Baghban also had a cameo by Salman Khan and Mahima Chaudhary. Salman's role was added especially for distributors so that the film could find a buyer. The film had a slow start, but word of mouth publicity changed its fortunes, and it became a superhit. The movie, made in Rs 10 crore, earned Rs 43.11 crore.

Driven by his passion for filmmaking and a strong ambition to direct, Tinnu challenged his father's wishes. Distressed by this, Inder Raj Anand decided to enroll him at the Satyajit Ray School, hoping to divert his path. Choosing Satyajit Ray Over Raj Kapoor and Fellini In an interview with Rediff, Tinnu shared the reasons behind his decision to train under Satyajit Ray. He explained that although he had the opportunity to work with Raj Kapoor, who was a family friend and had collaborated with his father on several scripts, he felt that connection was too close for comfort. Another option was the renowned Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini, which appealed to him because it offered a chance to go to Italy. However, Fellini insisted that Tinnu learn Italian first, a commitment of six months that he wasn't willing to make. Consequently, he chose to study with Ray instead. The 'Dirty Job': Offering Rs 5,000 to Amitabh Bachchan During the same conversation, Tinnu shared how he was tasked with the 'dirty job' of offering Amitabh a fee of Rs 5,000 for his role in Khwaja Ahmad Abbas' film 'Saat Hindustani'. He explained that actress Neena Singh had recommended Amitabh for the part, but Abbas insisted that Amitabh cover his own expenses to come to Mumbai for auditions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This marked the beginning of Amitabh's journey to the city of dreams. Reflecting on the moment, Tinnu recalled, 'I was the one who took him to Abbas Saab's office. In the evening, I was given the dirty job of offering Amitabh Rs 5,000 for the entire film, whether it took one year or five to make." Career Growth and On-Set Challenges Following his role in 'Saat Hindustani', Tinnu acted in several films before making a name for himself as a director with movies such as 'Kaalia' and 'Shahenshah'. During the production of his third collaboration with Bachchan, 'Shanakht', Tinnu faced a tense confrontation with Madhuri Dixit when she declined to perform a daring scene opposite Bachchan.
