Hema Malini Says Amitabh Bachchan Isn't As 'Fun Loving' Anymore: 'Thoda Serious Ho Gaye Hain Aaj Kal'
Hema Malini said that everyone would get excited when Amitabh Bachchan would enter the set because he was very jovial.

Veteran actress Hema Malini’s iconic film Baghban is celebrating 20 years of its release on Tuesday, October 3. Hema Malini and Amitabh Bachchan’s film won over the audience with its stellar performances and heartwarming storyline. However, Hema Malini was not fully convinced about playing a mother to four grown men in the film since he hadn’t played a mother on screen before. She also spoke about how Amitabh Bachchan was on set and how he has changed over time.

Talking to the Hindustan Times, Hema said, “I was not convinced because I had to play a mother to four elderly boys. I was feeling very awkward ‘Main aisa kaise karun, maine aise mother ka role kabhi kiya hi nahi kisi film mein’(how do I do that, I’ve never played a mother), then my mother said ‘If Amitabh Bachchan is doing it, then you can also do it, no problem. He is opposite you.”

Talking about working with Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini said, “Sabne khushi khushi kaam kiya iss film mein. (Everyone happily worked on the film.) When Amit Ji used to enter the set, he would bring so much light, all the workers used to light up and say, ‘Arre Amit Ji aa gaye’, unko lagta tha ab koi mazaak karenge. Amit Ji has come. They would think that now he would have some fun. He used to be so jovial and fun-loving. I don’t think he is like that anymore. Pata nahi, thoda serious ho gaye hain aaj kal. (Don’t know, he has become more serious these days).”

Directed by Ravi Chopra and produced by BR Chopra, Baghban remains one of the most talked about collaborations between Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini. The film became a huge hit upon its release in 2003. It also features Salman Khan, Rimi Sen, Aman Verma, Divya Dutta and Paresh Rawal among others.
