Responding to her question, the legendary actor shared an interesting story about when he met Jaya Bachchan. Big B said, “Jaya and I were cast for Guddi. I had also shot for 10–12 days. But Hrishikesh da thought I would not be a good choice since my film Anand was releasing, and I might not suit the role. Hence, they got Dharmendra. But Jaya and I met there first—and what happened next, I am not going to say.”
