Vaibhavi Merchant on Amitabh Bachchan

During a recent interaction with ABP News, Vaibhavi Merchant recalled that Amitabh Bachchan made the set feel comfortable during the shoot of the song from Bunty Aur Babli titled Kajra Re featuring Big B, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She recalled how he created an “atmosphere of simplicity” and was also consistently “encouraging.” She further recalled that he even praised the dancers' outfits and was pleased with how everything appeared.

When discussing the video shoot for the song, which is a significant part of the movie, Vaibhavi mentioned that the challenge was to “justify all the three talents”. She explained that in the early 2000s when the film was released, people weren't just listening to songs, they were also watching the videos. So, they had to ensure that the music video was excellent. She also mentioned that she understood the significance of Abhishek and Amitabh dancing together in the song. She said, “That moment in the film is very iconic because that’s the father-son duo. Of course, they are not father-son in the film, with Aishwarya playing the part, everything just fell into place.”
