‘Amitabh Bachchan was very rude, didn't even look at me': Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain actor recalls being ignored by Big B after being treated ‘like a son'
Amitabh Bachchan has been working in the movies for over 50 years now and he has worked with actors and technicians across many generations. Recently, actor Saanand Verma, who is known for the TV show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain, shared an incident of working with Big B and said that he found him to be quite rude when he met him for the second time, which was completely unlike his behaviour the first time. Speaking to Hindi Rush, Saanand revealed that Big B was very warm and affectionate the first time they met. 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.' The actor, however, revealed that the second time they worked together, Big B was cold to him and didn't even acknowledge him properly. '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 the cold interaction, Saanand admitted that he still respects the actor immensely. 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.' In a recent interaction with The Lallantop, veteran actor Paresh Rawal also shared his perspective on relationships in the Hindi film industry. He said, 'Film industry mein colleague hote hain, theatre mein dost hote hain, aur school mein jigar jaan dost hote hain. But film ke andar colleague hote hain. Mere dost jinko main with respect bol saku toh Om Puri sahab the, Naseer bhai hain, Johnny Lever hain. Ye hain jinko main dost bol saku (In the film industry, you have colleagues; in theatre, you have friends; and in school, you have your closest buddies. But within the film world, they're mostly colleagues. The people I can truly call my friends — and say so with respect — are Om Puri sahab, Naseer bhai, and Johnny Lever. These are the ones I can genuinely call friends).'

Smriti Irani pens down a heartfelt post for her Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi producer and friend Ektaa Kapoor on her 50th Birthday
Ektaa Kapoor, who celebrates her 50th birthday today (June 7), received a heartfelt message from her longtime friend, Smriti Irani . Marking the special occasion, Smriti took to Instagram to pen an emotional note dedicated to Ektaa, the creative force behind the iconic show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Wishing her a happy birthday, Smriti penned a long note and note, "That night, we walked —from the quiet lanes of Juhu to the sacred steps of Siddhivinayak. Not in celebration, but in surrender. She had made a silent vow when I was chasing a dream — a prayer not for herself, but for me. And when the dream turned real, when the world clapped — she didn't call to revel in the applause. She reminded me: We owe Bappa our thanks. Gratitude walks before pride in her world. " Praising Ektaa and her hard work, Smriti further wrote, "The world knows her as fierce - a woman of will, words, and unwavering resolve. But I have known her silences; the softness that doesn't seek attention, the care that doesn't need credit. She is the quiet strength behind many journeys, the keeper of promises no one else hears. Today, she turns 50. A milestone many will raise a toast to. But in the hush of this day, I whisper a prayer — May peace wrap itself around her like a shawl on a weary evening. May success find her, not because she chases it, but because she gives so much of herself away. She deserves both. And so much more. Happy Birthday EK." Ektaa and Smriti have been close friends for many years. They have always supported each other and have a strong bond with each other's families. Smriti enjoys spending time with Ekta's son Ravie and often brings him books. In the same way, Ekta is very loving towards Smriti's kids. For those who may not know, Smriti Irani's most iconic and longest-running show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, was produced by Ektaa Kapoor.
