A veteran player Amitabh Bachchan known for his larger-than-life aura on and off screen. Although he may seem a little scary to many, he always has a good relationship with most of his friends. He shared friendships with many people in the industry over the years. In a recent interview, the veteran actor Bindu shared his memories of working with him which also included an embarrassing incident. Bindu who has worked with Bachchan in films like ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Abhimaan’ and others recalled how he accidentally spat on his shirt.Bindu remembered what happened outside Rishikesh. After completing the day’s work, the actors went to Dehradun for dinner and were returning together when the incident happened. Bindu remembers enjoying the paan during the return journey when Amitabh Bachchan sat behind him in the car. With all the windows rolled down, he leaned over to spit, not knowing what to expect.“I still remember that I had paan when I was coming back. And I was sitting with the wind in my face, and we were all driving with our windows rolled down. I stuck my head out of the window to spit the paan, and the moment I spat, it all landed on Amitabh’s shirt. I was very embarrassed, and I apologized to Vickey for answering so many questions.For Bindu, this was a stressful time. However, Bachchan calmly responded to his sign and assured him that it was no big deal. Although he wasn’t disappointed, he wasn’t going to let him forget about it anytime soon.“He was pulling my leg and laughing at this,” he recalled laughing. Among their many collaborations, one of the most memorable is still ‘Abhimaan’. In the film, Bindu played Amitabh Bachchan’s best friend at a time when his family is going through turmoil. Her role was seen as a breakthrough in her career as it allowed her to break away from the vamp she is often associated with, although her character can be seen as the “other woman” in the story.“Hum Madra mein Gehri chaal ki shooting kar rahe the, tab hi se woh bohot acche artist the par unki filmein chal nahi rahi thi. We used to come by plane. Mere saath meri hair person thi, everyone knew him as they worked with him. Helen Yes. And then when we talk, he tells me that my films are going backwards. Pataa nai kya hoga, Allahabad ki ticket katani padegi. My hairdresser said, ‘Don’t say that, everything will be fine’. Uske baad toh Zanjeer chal padi, Deewar chal padi. Si darmyaan Abhimaan chal rahi thi.”
