When Amitabh Bachchan was devastated by continuous flops, actress Bindu narrated a funny story from the shooting.

As wonderful as the early days of Bollywood’s ‘Shahenshah’ Amitabh Bachchan’s career seem today, in reality they were equally struggling. Recently, veteran actress Bindu has shared an anecdote related to Big B, which is not only funny but also tells the tension of that period. Bindu and Amitabh have worked together in many memorable films like ‘Zanjeer’ and ‘Abhiman’, but an incident that happened during the shooting left them a fond memory forever.

When the wind changed direction

Bindu told in an interview that they had gone to Rishikesh for the shooting of the film. After the work was over, the entire team went out for dinner in Dehradun. Bindu was eating paan while returning. She says, “We were in a car with open windows and the wind was blowing straight on my face. As soon as I stuck my head out of the window to spit the paan, the direction of the wind changed everything. The paan fell straight on Amitabh Bachchan’s shirt.” This moment was extremely embarrassing for Bindu, but the way Big B handled it shows his generosity.

Amitabh’s reaction and ‘Allahabad wali’ concern

After this incident, instead of getting angry, Amitabh Bachchan forgave Bindu, but he made it a subject of joke forever. He often pulled Bindu’s leg. During this time, Bindu shared another serious memory. He told that in those days Amitabh Bachchan was under a lot of stress due to continuous flop films. Once during the plane journey, he told Bindu and his hair-dresser, “My films are flopping back-to-back, I don’t know what will happen next, now I will have to buy a ticket to Allahabad.” At that time, Big B was on the verge of giving up, but right after that, films like ‘Zanjeer’ and ‘Deewar’ changed history and he became the megastar of the century.
