Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrugan Sinha bond on talk show

The upcoming chat show Yaaron Ki Baraat, hosted by Ritiesh Deshmukh and Sajid Khan, will put celebrity friendships to the test through a series of fun challenges and tasks. The first episode of the show, which kickstarts this Saturday, will bring together two legends, Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrugan Sinha on a chat show for the very first time. After working together in films like Dostana, Naseeb, Kaala Patthar and Shaan, the two will talk about their journey together, and the camaraderie that they share. Talking about his own experience with cinema Amitabh says, “Fans sometimes forget that the stars are not really what they portray on screen. Amitabh was known as the angry young man of Indian cinema who could beat up villains and fight goons single-handedly and this image followed him everywhere he went.”

He also recollected the time he was approached by a fan while stuck in a traffic jam. The fan, who recognised him, asked him, “Aren’t you Amitabh Bachchan? Why don’t you just get off the car and punch two three people? That will automatically clear the jam.” Shatrughan further added that it is the media labelling the two as superstars that perpetrated this notion. He insists, that the two might be seen bashing up people in films but in reality they have always been peace-loving people. Hosts Sajid and Riteish had the superstars play games which tested their compatibility as friends, and even got the actors to interact with some of their biggest fans.
