Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini are one of the most celebrated on-screen pairs of Bollywood. From Sholay to Baghban and then Bbuddha Hoga Tera Baap, the duo has never failed to enthrall everyone with their effortless chemistry and charm. As Big B turned 80 on October 11, Hema Malini reminisced about working with the legendary superstar and also disclosed some of the unheard trivia from her experiences and observations.
While speaking with the Times of India, Hema Malini recounted that after a very long gap, when the two actors had come together for Baghban, she was unsure about pulling it off. That’s when Amitabh assured her that they would cross that bridge together.
She revealed, “The first time we were working together, he was so quiet on the sets. Then slowly we started talking. It was the time he was meeting producers and directors for work (as a newcomer), and he told me that he saw me on the sets of Abhinetri (1970), where he observed me from a distance. From then to now, we have done so many films together… It was after a small gap that I started working in Baghban. I was wondering ki main kaise kar paungi (how will I do this). I was nervous and told him about it. He told me, ‘don’t worry, I am also in the same boat as you, toh hum dono milke saath kar lenge (we will both do this together)’.”
