Amitabh Bachchan said, ‘I never got the opportunity to work with Meena Kumari ji. In Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, there’s a song – ‘Na jaao saiyaan’ where she performed so gracefully that I found myself watching her continuously. The art of sitting in one place quietly, singing the song, and coupled with her radiance, the effects used to be marvellous’. He further added saying, ‘They used to take long shots back then and I think that was the beauty of it all. Unlike today, every shot ends in just a few words. And Waheeda Rehman Ji, she is my absolute favourite actress’. In this entertainment news, Amitabh Bachchan spoke about shooting a particular shot with Waheeda Rehman and said that it truly showcased her brilliance. He said, ‘What a beautiful shot it was; it took two or three takes to light up that close-up. These days, it all happens so quickly, but back then, it was never like that’. On the sets of KBC 16, Amitabh Bachchan revealed his favourite superstar and can you guess who it is?
