Veteran
actor
Shatrughan
Sinha,
who
is
known
for
his
unique
style
of
dialogue
delivery,
was
one
of
the
most
popular
stars
of
his
time.
He
was
paired
alongside
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
several
blockbuster
movies
in
the
1970s,
and
the
two
stars
once
had
an
amazing
rapport
with
each
other.
Although
they
made
a
dynamic
duo
on
screen,
they
also
had
some
misunderstandings
behind
the
scenes.
Many
aren't
aware
that
Sinha
and
Bachchan
had
a
bitter
relationship
and
were
not
on
the
best
of
terms.
In
his
memoirs,
Anything
But
Khamosh:
The
Shatrughan
Sinha
Biography,
Shatrughan
Sinha
revealed
that
he
was
"dropped
out
and
returned
the
signing
amount" of
many
films
due
to
Amitabh
Bachchan.
He
said,
"The
problem
was
the
applause
I
was
getting
for
my
performances.
Amitabh
could
see
the
response
I
was
getting.
That's
why
he
didn't
want
me
in
some
of
his
films." The
veteran
actor
also
recalled
that
during
the
shooting
of
Kaala
Patthar,
there
was
a
lot
of
tension
between
them.
Furthermore,
when
discussing
their
squabble,
Sinha
blamed
actresses
Zeenat
Aman
and
Rekha
and
said
they
had
also
played
a
role
in
their
feud.
"During
Kaala
Patthar,
a
heroine
who
was
known
to
be
very
friendly
with
him,
would
visit
him.
She
would
come
during
Dostana
also
but
not
once
would
he
bring
her
out
and
introduce
her
to
any
of
us.
In
showbiz,
everybody
knew
who
was
visiting
whom.
The
media
would
immediately
know
if
Reena
was
in
my
make-up
room.
Such
things
can
never
be
hidden
in
our
world," he
added.
Even
after
all
these
misunderstandings,
Shatrughan
Sinha
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
have
maintained
a
healthy,
cordial
relationship
over
the
years,
as
Bachchan
was
present
at
Sinha's
biography's
launch
that
was
released
back
in
2016.
In
the
meantime,
both
actors
have
done
great
films
and
contributed
immensely
to
Indian
cinema.
Shatrughan
Sinha
has
ventured
into
politics.
On
the
other
hand,
Amitabh
Bachchan
is
still
going
strong
and
has
never
stopped
working
in
films.
He
was
last
seen
in
Goodbye
opposite
Neena
Gupta
and
Rashmika
Mandanna
and
is
currently
shooting
with
Deepika
Padukone
and
Prabhas
for
his
next
film,
Project
K.
