Neena Gupta is one of the most sought after actors in the industry right now and she’s got some great projects lined up for her in the coming few months. Up next, Neena will be seen opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Goodbye, where she will be playing the actor’s wife.
Talking about the excitement of finally having to work with the superstar, Neena said, “I am very excited to work with Mr. Bachchan. I shot for only five-six days in Mumbai but then the lockdown happened so I had to return home. I haven’t started my scenes with him yet, but I am very intimidated by him. It’s like when we are waiting for the short, he would be sitting in a corner and I would wonder if I should go close to him, talk to him or not. Should I ask him something or not? It’s actually quite a thing and I think slowly things will be fine for all of us.”
She further recalled how scared she was of speaking to him when they first met and added, “One day I thought why can’t I sit with Mr. Bachchan, the other actors are sitting with him and talking. So then I gathered some courage and went and sat next to him but then he got busy on his phone, so I silently sat out there. The thing is we, who think that Bachchan will be like this or that, but he is a normal person and I am very happy that I will be working with him.”
Well, we’re super stoked to see these brilliant actors share screen space for the first time.
