Summary
- Abhishek Banerjee touched Amitabh Bachchan's feet out of respect.
- Amitabh Bachchan prefers to be seen as a co-actor, not revered.
- Shah Rukh Khan's wit and energy left a lasting impression on Banerjee.
Actor Abhishek Banerjee, celebrated for his roles in 'Stree' and 'Stolen,' recently offered insights into his interactions with Bollywood icons Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.
Banerjee shared a memorable encounter with Amitabh Bachchan, where he instinctively attempted to touch the elder actor's feet as a sign of respect. However, Bachchan reportedly expressed his disapproval, indicating a preference for being treated as a professional peer rather than being placed on a pedestal. This gesture, according to Banerjee, stemmed from Bachchan's desire for everyone on set to feel like equals, fostering an environment where no one underperforms.
