Ranbir Kapoor Praises Amitabh Bachchan on KBC

Amitabh Bachchan Was the Original Aura Farmer
Remembering his childhood visit to the sets of the 1991 film *Ajooba*, Ranbir described the powerful impression Amitabh made on him.

He explained that the superstar's personality naturally filled every space he entered. His comments brought humour and nostalgia to the conversation.
Ranbir and Amitabh Share a Film Connection
Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan later appeared together in Ayan Mukerji's *Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva*, released in 2022. Ranbir had also worked as an assistant to filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the 2005 film *Black*, which featured Amitabh in a leading role. Their professional connection adds another dimension to Ranbir's admiration for the veteran performer. The actors also share a connection through Rishi Kapoor, who worked alongside Amitabh in several memorable Bollywood films.
Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor's Lasting Legacy
