 What is the matter?

Amitabh Bachchan recalled that during the shooting of the film "Lakshya" (2004), Farhan Akhtar came to him and asked, "Amit Uncle, are you having any trouble with a scene? If you want, I can explain it to you." Big B jokingly said that at that moment he felt as if a master was teaching him, "Son, this is how to act."

He said that that day he felt like a novice artist. Amitabh Bachchan told that after leaving Farhan's room, he called his wife Jaya Bachchan and said - "I am being taught how to act!" To this Jaya replied - "If you are not happy then leave the shoot and come back home." But Big B did not do so and from the very next day he started feeling more comfortable.
