Actor Riteish Deshmukh recently had a ‘fanboy’ moment when veteran stars Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha made an appearance on his show, Yaaron Ki Baraat, which he co-hosts with filmmaker Sajid Khan.
“It was a fanboy moment for me to sit in front of the two living legends whom we have grown up idolising. They put us at ease immediately with extremely endearing memories of their friendship,” Deshmukh said in a statement.
“This is truly the most exciting coup to have as our very first guests on our show as they both were last seen together in 1981 film Dostana. This is the very first time they have appeared together on a TV show to speak about their friendship. They spoke candidly,” he added.
Khan, who has hosted a number of award and TV shows, said it was a “completely different ballgame” for him to chat with Bachchan and Sinha.
“To be honest, I was very nervous. But the two of them were such sports and very forthcoming about their friendship. Their conversation took us all to the golden era that we have only watched in the movies and they revealed so many things that we didn’t know about them,” Khan said.
Bachchan and Sinha have appeared together in films such as Dostana, Bombay to Goa, Naseeb, Kaala Patthar and Shaan.
The duo will be seen on the premiere of the Zee TV show on October 8.
