“I’m not going to get a leading lady from the younger generation to play my love interest, that period is over.

Bachchan worked in another love story opposite a relatively younger Tabu in R. Balki’s “Cheeni Kum”.

His teacher-student relationship with Rani Mukerji in “Black” also had romantic moments where they had shared a kiss.

He also had a flirtatious bond with actresses Raveen Tandon and Charmy Kaur in “Bbuddah… Hoga Terra Baap”.
