Ishaan Khatter recalls bonding with Amitabh Bachchan during the shooting of Sooryavansham
In a recent interview with Mashable India, Ishaan Khatter opened up about an unheard childhood anecdote of his life, where he revealed bonding with the legendary actor, Amitabh Bachchan at quite a young age. He mentioned that he visited the sets of Amitabh’s then-film, Sooryavansham, along with his mother, who played a part in it. Elaborating more on it, he mentioned:
“My mom did a film with him called Sooryavansham. I was 2-3 years old at the time. Mom used to take me to the set with her because I was too young and she didn’t have a nanny. So I was with her on the set and Amitabh Bachchan came. I had seen his film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. I saw him and started screaming ‘bale miyan, bale miyan’. He noticed me. So we kind of became friends apparently. I used to pull his beard or something like that.”
