Shobana on her experience working with Amitabh Bachchan
Shobana spoke about how Big B reacted when she was asked to change clothes behind a tree and said, “Bachchan sir, from then to now, is the same — the most humble artiste I’ve worked with. Actually, some of the greatest artistes share one trait: humility. I’ll tell you an anecdote about Bachchan sir. I shot a small portion of a song with him many years ago in Ahmedabad, where I had loads of fabric wrapped around me. Bachchan sir had a caravan, and the entire city had come to a standstill because everyone came to see the shoot.”
Shobana talked about Amitabh Bachchan sweet gesture
She continued, “So I asked where my caravan was, as I had many costume changes. Someone remarked, ‘Ah, she's from Malayalam cinema, they’re all very adjustable, she can change behind a tree.’ Bachchan sir heard this on the walkie-talkie, immediately came out, and asked, ‘Who said that?’ He then invited me to his caravan and stepped out to let me use it. Even during Kalki, despite being in heavy prosthetics, he showed such grace and culture. Whenever someone came to meet him, he would stand up to greet them even with all that weight on him.”
