Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan is not just a legendary actor but he is an inspiration for masses. He has proved his acting mettle with movies like Shehenshah, Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham, Deewar, Sholay and other and even at the age of 75, he is loaded with projects and endorsements. People love him like crazy and every filmmaker is dying to work with him. However, the legend reveals he is scared to work with the young guns of Bollywood like Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma and the reason will shock you.
At the launch of his most popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 10, Big B was asked about Indian cinema's leading ladies and his experience of working with him. The superstar revealed that he's scared to work with the younger lot because they are so brilliant, leaving everyone surprised. He said, “From the younger lot, Alia, Anushka and Deepika – all of them are such powerful actors that I am scared to work with them. Kha hi jaayege humko.”

He went on to say, “We took years and years and years and years and we are still trying to fine tune our craft, these people they come first day on the set and they know exactly what they are doing. They are so confident and so mature.”
While Senior Bachchan was all praises for the leading ladies, he didn’t forget the blazing young heroes of Bollywood. He revealed that he is impressed with everyone from Varun Dhawan to Ranbir Kapoor, but Kartik Aaryan’s performance in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety charmed him the most. He said,
“Look at what Ranbir is doing and Sushant, Varun and Rajkummar Rao. Recently there was this film Sonu ki Titu - bada ajeeb sa naam hai – usme Aaryan was so good. The film had such a good story. I get so obsessed and I keep writing to them saying well done.”
There is no denying that the younger lot in Bollywood has managed to impress everyone but still there is no one who can match up to the persona of Amitabh Bachchan. Isn’t it?
