Here's How Sharmila Tagore Reacted When She Rewatched Chupke Chupke Recently

Veteran actor Sharmila Tagore rewatched Chupke Chupke recently while recovering from a recent surgery. Tagore, in an interview, talked about her 1975 comedy film (starring Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Asrani, Jaya Bachchan and Om Prakash) and said that rewatching Chupke Chupke from the hospital bed was therapeutic.

Tagore, who essayed the role of Sulekha Chaturvedi in this Hrishikesh Mukherjee film, revealed she watched the film on her laptop and "laughed so much". She went on to say that "I had not seen the film for years. So when I saw it, I just loved Dharam (Dharmendra)."

On collaborating with Mukherjee, the Aradhana actor said that working with him was so "wonderful" because "he used to play chess and tell us all dirty jokes. It was sort of a long picnic. And everybody got along with everybody and everybody respected him. We did whatever he said."

Speaking during a recent &t=729s">live session, Tagore recalled the cult classic as a comedy of errors and how it had the right mix to be an evergreen hit. She even called Amitabh Bachchan an "insomniac" and revealed, "We were all punctual, Dharam also came on time. And Amitabh (Bachchan) of course was always on time. In fact, he would arrive before time - if time was 7 o' clock, he'd be there at 6 o'clock." Read how Sharmila Tagore was blamed for her husband’s poor performance here

On April 11, one of her co-stars from the film, Amitabh Bachchan posted interesting trivia as he celebrated the 46th anniversary of the film's release. Bachchan, who played a key role in Chupke Chupke, shared throwback behind-the-scenes pictures from the sets of the film on Instagram. One of the pictures features him as Professor Sukumar Sinha with his co-star and wife Jaya Bachchan, who played the role of Vasudha Kumar in the movie.

Bachchan revealed in his tweet that he bought the bungalow where the film was shot from producer NC Sippy and "rebuilt" it into his current home "Jalsa".
