Kajol: Amitabh Bachchan is the epitome of grace and dignity

Amitabh Bachchan is one of the greatest actors the Indian film fraternity has ever seen. Often touted as the ‘Man of the Millennium’, the living legend is just as humble and grounded as he is talented and successful. While actors from the industry often fall short of words to express how much they admire him, ‘VIP 2’ star Kajol has opened up in an and praised Big B for the man he is.

“I think the one person who has lived his stardom wonderfully and from whom we can take lessons is Amitji. He is one of those supremely intelligent men who has used his mind to further himself professionally and personally. He is a phenomenon, but has used his stature in the best possible manner. Amitji is the epitome of grace and dignity,” the actress asserted.

She further spoke about opting for a Tamil movie after ‘Dilwale’. “I was never satisfied with the kind of scripts that were coming because it’s tough to find a good script. I think that’s something, which is not available. I am a voracious reader, and hence for me, a good script must have all the makings of a fantastic book. I should be able to visualise it in my head. Having said that, I have always been choosy.”

Addressing the vernacular barriers faced by her during the course of the film, she added, “Tamil is complicated and an illegible language to me. I was very skeptical not because of the script, but I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do justice to the role. I was apprehensive about speaking and acting in another language. I did not want to be mediocre and wanted it to live up to my expectations.”

‘VIP 2’ also stars southern superstar Dhanush alongside Kajol and will hit the theatres on 28th July.
