This actor once called Rajesh Khanna an average actor, claimed that Amitabh Bachchan never did any great films, his name is...
There are many senior actors in Bollywood who are considered examples for all the newcomers out there. These actors are some of the finest stars in the industry and are also called veterans. Similarly, an actor who is now regarded as a veteran star once took a jibe at Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. He called Rajesh an 'average star' and claimed that Amitabh Bachchan never did good movies. Yes, you read that right! Scroll down to know the name of this actor. Actor Who Criticised Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna This actor started his career in 1973 with Shyam Benegal's film Nishant, in which Shabana Azmi played the lead role alongside him. If you are wondering who we are talking about, this actor is none other than Naseeruddin Shah. After his debut, Naseeruddin Shah went on to do many movies, including Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron, Masoom, Aakrosh, Ijaazat, Ardh Satya, Sarfarosh, Ishqiya, and A Wednesday. All these films left a lasting impact on audiences. Whether it was the role of a sensitive father in Masoom, a terrorist poet in Sarfarosh, a photographer in Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron, or a common man in A Wednesday, Naseeruddin brought life to every role. Be it action, romance, drama, or comedy, he left his mark in every genre. Naseeruddin Shah Criticised Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna In an interview in 2010, he questioned Amitabh Bachchan's filmography and said that Amitabh had not done any great film. He also described the classic Sholay as just entertaining, not great. Similarly, in 2016, he termed Rajesh Khanna an 'average actor' and said that the 70s was an average era of Hindi cinema, and despite Rajesh Khanna's success, his acting ability was limited. However, after criticism from Rajesh Khanna's daughter, Twinkle Khanna, he apologized for this comment.

When it was ‘harrowing' for Naseeruddin Shah to dance alongside Mithun Chakraborty: ‘Never felt at home, first time I became aware of split personality'
Naseeruddin Shah celebrates his 75th birthday today. The actor is best known for his nuanced performances on stage and being one of the harbingers of parallel cinema in the 1970s. However, Shah has also done a fair bit of work in mainstream Hindi cinema, some of which he's not entirely proud of, as he's confessed multiple times over the years. For instance, the first time Shah had to dance in a film was in Shakti Samanta's 1980 romantic thriller Khwab, alongside Mithun Chakraborty, well known for his impeccable dancing skills. 'Believe me, it was harrowing! The first time I had to dance was next to Mithun Chakraborty, yeah. Enough said,' said the actor. In the interview with Huffpost in 2020, Naseeruddin Shah recalled the tough time he had picking on those dance moves. 'I never felt at home! It was the first time I became aware of a split personality,' said Shah, adding, 'I never felt that way while on the sets of a film with 50 dancers and 500 extras and everybody tittering when you do a step wrong.' The actor recalled 'frantically rehearsing' the dance moves, even before Mithun Chakraborty entered the set, when he tripped and fell. A background dancer came up to him and said, 'Poor boy! This is your first film, isn't it?' Shah apologized to her and others for holding them up, but she encouraged him to try again. 'She was sweet, yeah, but it sank my spirits further,' said Shah. Khwab was definitely not Naseeruddin Shah's first film. He'd already registered his presence with Shyam Benegal's movies like his debut film Nishant (1975), Manthan (1976), Bhumika (1977), and Junoon (1979). 'I'd usually be on a shoot with Shyam, Ketan (Mehta), Vidhu (Vinod Chopra), Saeed (Mirza), and Kundan (Shah). We were all friends and it was always a relaxed atmosphere in which we shot those films. I had not been with all of these mainstream guys,' confessed Shah. The actor revealed that he shot for another one of his seminal films, Sai Paranjpye's Sparsh (1980) right after filming for Khwab. 'In fact the money I made from Khwab helped me buy a car. So I drove to Delhi in that car and did Sparsh. The learning here really was the fact that an actor's abilities are just not enough. It's ironic that an actor depends on so many inputs from others. This was the bingo moment for me,' argued Shah. Also Read — Naseeruddin Shah writes on Diljit Dosanjh controversy: I feel no need to prove anything, including my patriotism Naseeruddin Shah used the same argument to defend his varying performances in Shekhar Kapur's 1983 cult relationship drama Masoom and Eshmayeel Shroff's 1982 romantic drama Dil… Akhir Dil Hai, which he shot for at the same time as well. 'I was playing the romantic lead in front of the gorgeous Rakhee and Parveen Babi. I sang songs and was in bed with both of these lovely ladies. I shot half of Dil… Akhir Dil Hai, went to Delhi and shot Masoom, came back and finished the former. It was a continuous journey. And yet you can see the difference in the quality of performance. I look like an absolute novice! Like a guy who does not know the first thing about acting in Dil… Akhir Dil Hai,' said Shah.
