Amitabh Bachchan, the versatile actor with over 50 years of experience in the film industry, has worked with numerous actors and technicians across various generations. Recently, actor Saanand Verma, known for his role in the popular TV show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain, shared an incident of working with Big B that highlights the complexities of relationships in the film industry.

Saanand Verma speaking to Hindi Rush revealed that during their first meeting on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Amitabh Bachchan was warm and affectionate. He 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.” Verma was clearly starstruck by the veteran actor and felt a sense of familiarity and warmth in their interaction.

However, their second meeting, which took place during an advertisement shoot, was starkly different. Verma recalled, “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.” Verma was taken aback by Bachchan's cold demeanor and felt that the actor was being rude.

Despite the contrasting interactions, Saanand Verma maintains that he still has immense respect for Amitabh Bachchan. 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.”
