Kanwaljit recalls being scared of Big B
When asked about his bond with Amitabh Bachchan, Kanwaljit reminisced about working with him in Satte Pe Satta and said, “I used to be very scared of him during the Satte Pe Satta shoot. After filming, Amitabh ji used to come to our hotel, and we would play snooker. I was so scared of him that whenever I hit a good shot, I would look at him and say, ‘I am sorry.’ And he would reply, ‘Why are you sorry? That was a good shot.’”
Amitabh’s sweet gesture
He then became teary-eyed while recalling Amitabh’s sweet gesture and said, “My son, who was a painter, I went to him. Amitabh ji specifically told his secretary, ‘Arrange dates for Kuku, I’ll go to him.’ Then he came for the opening. That was very sweet of him.”
