Yes,
you
read
it
right!
Actor
Samir
Soni,
who
portrayed
the
role
of
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Hema
Malini's
son
in
Baghban,
revealed
in
his
recent
interview
that
during
the
shoot
of
the
film,
he
was
scared
to
touch
the
senior
actress.
He
further
revealed
that
he
thought
if
he
touches
Malini,
Dharmendra
would
come
to
the
sets
and
would
beat
him
up.
"The
very
first
scene
that
I
had
to
perform
with
her
was
when
all
her
children
come
home
for
the
Holi
party.
That
sounded
like
an
easy
scene,
but
the
problem
here
was
that
your
on-screen
parents
happen
to
be
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Hema
Malini!
I
could
take
Mr
Bachchan
as
my
father
figure,
but
Hema
ji
looked
anything
but
like
a
'mother'.
She
was
gorgeous," Samir
told
TOI
in
an
interview.
He
further
added,
"During
the
rehearsals,
I
could
not
put
my
hand
around
her
waist
or
shoulder,
which
I
normally
would
have.
I
was
scared,
as
I
had
heard
stories
of
Dharamji
(Dharmendra),
I
thought
maybe
he
will
come
and
beat
me
up
or
something.
So,
after
the
first
rehearsal
I
asked
Hemaji
if
it
was
okay
if
I
put
my
arm
around
her.
And
she
was
like,
'of
course'!
I
had
a
sigh
of
relief."
In
the
same
interview,
Samir
also
shared
his
experience
of
working
with
the
Sholay
actress.
He
said,
"When
Hema
Malini
arrived
on
the
sets,
it
looked
like
someone
was
holding
a
light
behind
her."
He
further
said
that
she
used
to
be
so
composed.
"During
breaks
she
would
be
in
a
corner
working
on
her
lines.
We
have
had
lovely
conversations
with
each
other
too,"
shared
Soni.
