New Delhi: An old video of Amitabh Bachchan has been doing the rounds on social media. The funny element in the video is of Amitabh Bachchan discussing with the cameraperson wanting some time off to pick his nose or scratch his face. Shared by actor-anchor Simi Garewal on her official Instagram account, we see Amitabh Bachchan with family seated on a couch just before the interview is about to begin.
Simi shared this behind-the-scenes clip from the 2004 episode of 'Rendezvous With Simi Garewal' talk show that had the entire Bachchan family; Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan.
As Simi explains that everyone will be on camera all the time( even when they are not talking), Amitabh Bachchan asks for his close-up camera and after identifying it, tells the cameraman, "When I do this (snaps his fingers), you need to stop because I may want to pick my nose or something.” The megastar added that he may also have to cut when he wants to scratch his face.
In the same clip, we see Abhishek Bachchan also gesturing for a camera-off time when he wants to yawn for example.
Earlier in the year, Simi Garewal had shared another clip from the same episode starring The Bachchans. In that clip, we had seen Jaya Bachchan make fun of Amitabh Bachchan's beard. In the BTS video, as Simi hopes that everything goes well in the episode to which the 'Uunchai' actor says to comfort her, "I have also done television. All I have to do is dress in white.” Jaya then pointed towards his beard, saying, “And what will happen to your beard?” To which both Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek respond quickly with, "But that’s already white," leaving everyone in splits.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Amitabh Bachchan has had an intense-work year with many releases this year. His most recent being 'Uunchai' directed by Sooraj Barjatya. 'Uunchai' also stars Boman Irani, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Sarika, Danny Denzongpa among others. The film is an adventure-drama revolving around three-aged friends taking a trek to the Everest Base Camp to fulfill the last wishes of a close friend who passed away.
