Shweta Bachchan Nanda might not be a part of the acting crew but she certainly has a mark in the glamour world. Being the daughter of the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan Nanda has always been in the limelight and been surrounded by celebs and paps like Bollywood stars. Even her close friends include Bollywood biggies. And she has talked about one such friend in a throwback interview.
During her appearance on the chat show Koffee With Karan, Shweta Bachchan talked about her admiration for Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. When Maine Pyaar Kiya released in 1989, Shweta was in boarding school, in the tenth grade at the time. She watched it on a VCR and said that she loved the film so much that she made Abhishek get her the ‘Friend’ cap worn by Salman.
“We weren’t allowed to watch movies in school, so I actually sat there with a tape recorder and I recorded the whole thing on an audio cassette, and I would listen to it. I loved him and I wanted to wear that little cap that said ‘Friend’,” Shweta revealed. Abhishek said that he carried multiple caps from Mumbai to London for her and their cousins. “I used to sleep with it under my pillow,” she said.
Shweta was also a huge fan of Aamir Khan. Abhishek said, “Aamir got to know and so sweetly, on every birthday, he used to write her a letter.” She said that it was because ‘we are both Pisceans’. Shweta’s birthday is on March 17, just three days after Aamir’s birthday on March 14.
