Actors Amitabh Bachchan and Waheeda Rehman have starred together in films like Trishul, Kabhie Kabhie, Reshma Aur Shera, Adaalat and Namak Halal, among others. 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”.
