Two big actors of film industry Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha recently shared the screen space after long 35 years. They were last seen together in 1981 release ‘Naseeb’ and now in 2016 on Zee TV show ‘Yaaron Ki Baraat’.
The credit of bringing them together goes to Sajid Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, who will be seen hosting this new series.
Both Big B and Shotgun, as they are fondly called, recreated the magic of their films on the sets of the show, and also spilled the beans about their sweet-sour relationship.
Interestingly, Shatrughan even left Amitabh Bachchan embarrassed with his comment during the chat session. Luckily, it was not done in the bad way.

To this Shotgun said that Amitabh Bachchan is the ideal candidate for President of India but the megastar couldn’t agree.
“He has a legendary family background — his father was one of India’s most prolific writer-poets, his mother, a social activist. His command over language — be it Hindi or English, makes him an excellent orator. Lastly, his faith in God and his spiritual side make him an ideal candidate for President of India. I strongly feel he should contest the elections,” he said.
Amitabh quickly dismissed the idea of Shatrughan saying, “Arre nahi nahi, mazaak kar rahe hain yeh!”
Big B further added that Shatru speak such big words only to embarrass him. He recalled how Sinha did the same at a recent award function leaving him embarrassed.
