I can never forget my role in 'Baghban' because I was expected to act nasty with Amitabh Bachchan and I did not like it.
After 'Gandhi', Bollywood offered me mothers' roles. I played mother to heroes older to me like Amitabh Bachchan and Mithun Chakrbaborty.
I think I have done some nice movies. But, I dream of playing the character that Amitabh Bachchan had played in 'Deewaar.'
For me, the only superstar is Amitabh Bachchan.
Amitabh Bachchan played the role I was supposed to play in 'Saat Hindustani' but I cannot say he got his first film because of me. He had already been cast in the film, but was playing a different role.
I'm the only composer who has scored for two-three generation of actors. Be it for Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan or Dharmendra, Sunny Deol or Sunil Dutt, Sanjay Dutt - I have done it all.
Working with Amitabh Bachchan and Sarika has been one of the best experiences of my life.
I think working with Amitabh Bachchan in a film is an achievement for me.
In Kolkata is a temple where the deity worshipped is Amitabh Bachchan. The daily aarti is performed to the chanting of the Amitabh Chaleesa. And people still ask, 'Could our mythological heroes be based on actual people who once lived?'

I was very happy when my first movie was successful. That success paired with my trained body allowed me to believe and dream that I would be the next Amitabh Bachchan in the industry. Unfortunately, it remained a distant dream.
I would love to work with Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Abishek Bachchan and a lot more... even Imran Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor are damn good with their acting.
Bachchan has been in the film industry over 35 years and he is the real king. There are many who are around for 15-20 years and like to call themselves king. There is only one king and he is Amitabh Bachchan
For me, Michael Jackson was a star. Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan are stars. They are the ones who own and carry stardom.
I had grown up watching Amitabh Bachchan act. And here I was exchanging dialogues with him. For me, that was a great moment.
I switched from 'Bigg Boss' to 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' and was very happy to see Amitabh Bachchan come back on television with such a fun and interesting show.
