Shatrughan Sinha and Amitabh Bachchan were prominent stars of the 1970s, collaborating on films like Parwana, Dostana, and Shaan. However, their work ethics differed significantly. Amitabh was known for his punctuality, while Shatrughan had a reputation for arriving fashionably late to events.
During a book launch event, Amitabh humorously highlighted Shatrughan’s notorious tardiness. He reminisced about their time together, noting that Shatrughan, who lived near the Taj hotel, always arrived late to events. Amitabh acknowledged this habit, suggesting that some things never change, and it was just part of Shatrughan’s charm as a star.
Big B shared amusing anecdotes about Shatrughan Sinha’s habitual lateness. He mentioned how, during their movie outings, Shatrughan would always arrive late, often leaving home even after a show had started. Even when he had flights to catch, he remained unfazed, with airport staff frequently rushing to remind him of his departing flight. Amitabh remarked that despite the years, Shatrughan’s behavior hasn’t changed at all.
Mr Bachchan shared a humorous story about his collaboration with Shatrughan Sinha on the films Shaan and Naseeb. While they had three shifts in one day, Amitabh would arrive at the Naseeb set by 2:30 PM after wrapping up Shaan, but Shatrughan would often show up 5 to 7 hours later. Amitabh joked that they still don’t know where Shatrughan would disappear during that time.
In response to his comments about his tardiness, Shatrughan Sinha humorously acknowledged that it’s too late for him to defend himself, noting that everything has changed over the years.
