We have not only worked together in so many movies, we are also related. Not many know that his wife Ayesha Shroff has been tying Rakhi to me for more than 30years.
Jackie has a golden heart. 'Love' can be his second name. He has so much of it in him."
"One day he dropped in at my place. I was yet to cast my film #TanviTheGreat! But I had recorded few songs. I made him listen to them. He was quiet for a long time after listening to them. Then he hugged me and said. Don't make this film without me. Brig. Joshi like any Indian army officer is larger than life. Strong, decisive and yet compassionate.

Amitabh Bachchan Was 'Very Rude, Didn't Even Look At Me': Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain Actor Recalls
Last Updated: When Saanand Verma first worked with Amitabh Bachchan, he was treated like a "son". However, their second time working together was starkly different. Actor Saanand Verma grew immensely popular after he starred in the superhit TV show, Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain. Despite having worked with the best actors in the Indian entertainment industry, he only felt starstruck in front of one actor- Amitabh Bachchan. When Verma first worked with Bachchan, the veteran actor treated him like a 'son". However, their second time working together was starkly different. Verma said Bachchan was rude to him during the shoot. In a recent chat with Hindi Rush, Saanand Verma opened up about his contrasting experience with Amitabh Bachchan. He said, 'I have spoken to many stars, but I didn't think much about them. But I felt Amitabh Bachchan's aura when I was shooting Kaun Banega Crorepati's promo. The first time I met him… he was like… I felt like I am Abhishek Bachchan. I felt like I am his son. We spoke for three hours." His second time was not as great. Recalling his cold interaction, he said, 'However, the second time I met him to shoot an advertisement, he was very rude." 'After completing the shoot, I went and told him, 'I consider myself very fortunate to be able to work with you twice.' But he didn't even look at me, he kept staring at a painting and said, 'Bhagwan kare apko tibara mile (May God give you a third chance also),'" he said. Despite this coldness, Verma maintains that he still has immense respect for the veteran actor. He said, 'He gave me a lot of attention the first time and ignored me completely the second time, that contrast was noticeable. I love and respect Amit ji a lot. I don't think there is another actor like him in Hindi film industry but yes nobody is friends in the film industry." Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan is gearing up for the shoot for Kalki 2. Directed by Nag Ashwin and also starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan, the sequel is expected to go on floors this year. He also has the Indian remake of The Intern with Deepika Padukone in his kitty. Amitabh Bachchan will also be seen in Brahmastra Part 2. First Published: June 07, 2025, 13:53 IST
