Divya Dutta on Amitabh Bachchan’s thoughtful gesture

In a conversation with Filmibeat, Divya spoke about his habit, saying, “He has that thing of wishing everybody on their birthdays. How many people do that?

He has that knack of making people feel very very special, and I absolutely adore him.” She also pointed out that the consistency and thoughtfulness behind this gesture make it remarkable, even with his packed schedule.

Amitabh Bachchan arrives early for Divya Dutta’s book launch

Divya also shared a memorable incident involving Amitabh that stayed with her. She recalled that he reached her book launch even before the scheduled time. Talking about the moment, she said, “I had my book launch and Mr Bachchan was launching the book. His team said he will arrive at 7.30 sharp. So I was getting my photoshoot done. It was 7.20, and I saw a tall figure standing in front of me… it was Mr Bachchan! I froze. He came before time. He told me, ‘Please take your time, I am early.’ He is so gracious.”

Divya Dutta recalls working with Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Baghban’

The actress, who shared screen space with Bachchan in ‘Baghban‘, opened up about how he encouraged her while she played a grey-shaded role. Reflecting on those days, 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.”She added, “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.”
