Amitabh Bachchan fondly remembers Hrishikesh Mukherjee as a father figure in his life… in an exclusive conversation with BBC News

“Hrishida was like a father figure to me and my wife, Jaya. Working with him was an unbelievable experience because his style of film-making was never to compromise on quality and on the story ideas,” he said.

“I have to admit that most of the interesting characters that I played have been in films that were made by him – be it Anand or Mili or Chupke Chupke, or Bemisal or Namak Haram, or Jurmana.”

“It is difficult to pick one character and say that’s the best – there was Anand and Abhimaan, Mili too – all of them unbelievable moments in film-making.”
