Actor Saanand Verma, popularly known for his role in 'Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain', recently opened up about an unexpected interaction with Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan. Having worked with the superstar on two separate occasions, Saanand shared that his experiences with Big B were dramatically different each time.
When Saanand Verma felt an instant connection with Amitabh Bachchan
In a candid conversation with Hindi Rush, Saanand recalled how warm and gracious Bachchan was when they first met during the shoot of a promo for 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. He described feeling an instant connection, as though he was part of the Bachchan family.
“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,” Saanand said.
When Amitabh Bachchan was rude to Saanand Verma
However, things took an unexpected turn the second time the two crossed paths—this time while shooting an advertisement. According to Saanand, Bachchan’s demeanor was starkly different, even bordering on cold.
“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),’” the actor recalled.
Despite the change in treatment, Saanand said that his admiration for Amitabh Bachchan remains unchanged. Reflecting on the contrasting encounters, 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.”
