Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai actor recalls meeting Amitabh Bachchan's 'warm as a father' to 'very rude' side

Netizens have often pointed out that celebrities live a dual life, and a few shared examples on social media too. The latest to experience this with a megastar like Amitabh Bachchan is TV actor Saanand Varma. The actor, who is a part of Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai, noticed how Amitabh Bachchan switched from 'warm as a father' to 'very rude' in just two meetings. The actor shares his experience...

Saanand Varma saw Amitabh Bachchan's warm side on KBC 17 sets

Talking to Hindi Rush, Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai actor Saanand Verma said, "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."

When Saanand Varma met 'very rude' Amitabh Bachchan

The actor recalled how Big B was 'very rude' the second time around. This time, they were shooting for an advertisement, and Saanand spoke with senior Bachchan. "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," the actor recalled. The actor said that he respects Big B nonetheless.

When Paresh Rawal, Salman Khan questioned if there really are friends in Bollywood

Paresh Rawal, making headlines for his exit from Hera Pheri 3 (expected to continue from the point of Phir Hera Pheri), had recently spoken about how there are no friends in the industry and only colleagues exist. He refused to acknowledge anyone except Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah and Johnny Lever as his 'friend' from the industry. Interestingly, the veteran actor had long associations with many in the industry, including and especially with his Hera Pheri cast and crew. He quit the much-awaited movie mid-way, which made headlines. Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar will soon be battling out the matter in court, as confirmed by the Aitraaz actor.

During his movie Sikandar's promotions, Salman Khan also questioned Bollywood's silence and how nobody cheered for his movies, assuming that the superstar needs no support. "Sab ko support chahiye hota hai," Salman had said.

During an emotional video, Babil Khan called the industry 'rude' while Anurag Kashyap cited Bollywood's culture as the reason he quit the Hindi film industry. With actors coming out in the open with their struggles, is it time for self-introspection? What do you think?
