Rani in 'Black' |
Do you think 'Bunty Aur Babli' will be a big success?
I think so. But frankly, I am not banking on the film. My mother says that you should not have too many expectations from any quarters in life.
Would you call 'Black' the most challenging role of your career?
Till date, as an actor, I confess that I have never ever before received an opportunity to play a challenging role like 'Black'; 'Black' is the best film of my career. It will always remain one of the most special films of my life.
How was it working with Amitabh Bachchan as a co-star? Just recently, we saw you with him in 'Black'...
(Interrupts) I feel humbled. I am just a fledgling in the industry compared to him. Compared to his experience and achievements, I am a baby. Yet, Amit uncle never made me ever feel that 'Eh, I'm a huge star.' He's a very modest person, very sweet, a father figure. He is also like a child who wants to give his best shot.
It must be fun to work with the father and son (Abhishek) together?
You can say that again. Both are out of this world. I used to miss Amit uncle whenever I worked with Abhishek solo in 'Bunty Aur Babli' and vice versa I used to miss Abhishek whenever I worked with Amit Uncle in 'Black'. |
