Recently, during the latest episode of his quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, senior Bachchan revealed the one product in Rehman’s makeup box that she likes the most, and always keeps it with her.
After asking the KBC 15 contestant about makeup, Big B recalled his co-actor Rehman’s makeup habit. He shared, “Waheeda ji has her favourite compact that she uses to do all her makeup. She keeps that little compact with her all the time.”
Not just Rehman, senior Bachchan also talked about the makeup habits of other actors. He revealed, “There are many such actors who keep four people just to hold their mirror because they always want a full-size mirror before going for the shot, they need to see everything, makeup, outfit, and all are perfect.” However, he remained tight-lipped about the name of these actors as he feared that they will “get hold of me”.
Earlier, during the promotion of Kaun Banega Crorepati season 15, Amitabh Bachchan featured in an Instagram reel and revealed his makeup secret. He credited his makeup man for looking ‘khoobsurat’ on the screen.
Referring to his makeup man, Deepak Sawant, Big B said, “Humara jo chehra hai na yeh sab inki badolat hai. Inka naam hai Deepak Sawant. Ye hamara chehra banate hai. Agar hum khoobsurat lag rahe hai to inki badolat (My face is because of him. If I am looking nice today, it is because of him.” He added, “Apko batade 40 saal se yeh hai humare saath. (He has been with me for the last 40 years).”
Kaun Banega Crorepati airs on Sony TV from Monday to Friday at 9 pm. It also streams on SonyLIV.
Meanwhile, Waheeda Rehman has been recently conferred with the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award, which is given for “outstanding contribution to the growth and development of Indian cinema”. Amitabh Bachchan is also among the winners of the top honour.
