Amitabh Bachchan recently acted alongside his daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda for an advertisement, but didn’t give her any advice.
“When we are in front of the camera enacting a particular scene, then we are in a character,” Amitabh said. “Just like with any other artist on the set, you want to exchange views and points or sometimes just like keep telling her... She is facing the camera for the first time so I can say a few things to make her feel comfortable or an advice. I don’t know whether she has taken some advice. I am incapable of giving advice.”
The 75-year-old actor says Shweta was very comfortable in front of the camera.
He feels that while the family has four actors — including wife Jaya, son Abhishek and daughter Aishwarya Rai Bachchan — “the true actress is Shweta”.
“I know she won’t admit it but she is very good. She does fantastic mimicry. Anywhere we go, some incident happens, she will mimic everybody exactly to the point. She is a good actress,” he added.
Amitabh also said he was very proud of Shweta, who is also coming out with her book Paradise Towers.
“I have been reading her columns. She has a very natural flair of writing. Now, she has written an entire book which I am yet to read... I am very proud of the fact that she is writing because then it’s a hereditary continuation from my father to her. I feel very proud of her. I wish she continues to write,” said the actor.
Paradise Towers is a fictional novel about a building in Mumbai and the people who live in it.
