During a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, Amitabh Bachchan spoke about his daughter Shweta Bachchan’s reaction to the hit film Kantara, starring Rishab Shetty. While the megastar admitted he has not yet watched the film himself, he revealed that Shweta was so captivated by the period drama that she couldn’t sleep for several days.
“Firstly, I must apologise for not having seen your films yet; you know how our schedules are. But my daughter Shweta went to see Kantara, and she couldn’t sleep for a few days,” Amitabh shared while hosting Rishab Shetty on the show. He added that Shweta was particularly struck by the intensity of Rishab’s performance in the final scene, and she repeatedly asked how the actor managed to get into that zone.
The conversation highlighted Amitabh’s admiration for Rishab’s craft, as well as his unique tradition of writing letters to actors after performances. Rishab mentioned that receiving such a letter from Amitabh would be a blessing, showcasing the respect between the two actors.
This candid discussion not only brought attention to Rishab’s acting skills but also showed a personal glimpse into Amitabh’s family life and his pride in his daughter’s engagement with meaningful cinema.
