When Big B helped Divya Dutta portray a grey-shaded character

This isn’t the first time Divya has lauded Big B. The actor, who worked with Amitabh in Baghban, recalled the time he helped her portray a grey-shaded character on screen. She said, “Earlier, during the initial days, I was my exuberant self and I would wish him good morning, happy that I am with Mr Bachchan and I’m shooting with him. It was a dream come true. Then gradually the nasty bit of the role started getting onto me and my good mornings just dimmed away.”

Amitabh noticed the change in Divya’s behaviour and conveyed it to her. “And the sensitive man that he is, he called me and told me that I am not being nice to him in the film. He came to my defence. I told him ‘No sir, I’m just saying my lines’. He didn’t say anything, he was quiet, but what he wanted to say was, ‘Exactly, you are saying your lines, you are not saying it to me, so don’t feel so bad about it.’ And then he pampered me with food, and I was so normal and happy.”
