Veteran actress Zeenat Aman shared a belated post on the birthday of megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who turned 81 on October 11. Zeenat Aman also shared an incident where the director of one of her films scolded her because of Big B.
The actress shared a picture with Amitabh Bachchan from one of their photoshoots and wrote a long note.
Without mentioning the name of the film or the director and producer, Zeenat Aman wrote: "That day we had a morning shift and I hitchhiked to the set with the film's producer. As always, I had my script in my hand and rehearsed my lines as we drove to the studio. Upon arrival, I went straight to my makeup room and informed the team to message me once Mr. Bachchan was ready for the shoot. Our "shooting time" came and went , but there was no sign of Mr. Bachchan. 30 minutes passed. Then 45. A whole hour passed before someone knocked on the door. An AD informed me that Mr. Bachchan had arrived. And that he had run straight from his car until the set."
The actress added: "I immediately jumped up and ran down the stairs. I had barely set foot on the set when from across the room the director unleashed a torrent of insults! I was absolutely catatonic and had the impression that It was me". which had delayed production. The cast and crew stood in stunned silence as this director ranted and raved at me. He could not utter a word, and tears of indignation gathered in my eyes. I looked at the director, did a Turnaround, headed straight to my makeup room and told my team to pack their bags."
Her post further read, "Even as they zipped up my makeup kit, the lovely producer arrived at my door, closely followed by Mr. Bachchan. "Babs, I know it's my fault. The man is a fool and he is drunk. Leave it." "Go ahead and get to work," he said. I accepted Mr. Bachchan's apology, of course, but I was still smarting from the unwarranted reprimand I had received. I was in no mood to shoot after that humiliation. When I finally softened and I accepted. "When I returned to the set, the director threw himself at my feet and apologized. "It was all quite melodramatic, and although I finished the film, I never worked with that director again."
Zeenat Aman and Amitabh Bachchan have worked together in films like Don, Laawaris, The Great Gambler, Dostana, Mahaan, Pukaar and others.
