Arun Irani and Amitabh Bachchan have worked in a number of movies together. However, talking about him in the same conversation, Aruna mentioned that the legendary actor used to stay 'aloof' on the sets. Moreover, she revealed that he used to only spend time in his room. Elaborating more on the same, Aruna stated:
“Amit ji used to stay aloof from the very beginning. He used to just spend time in his own room or his vanity van. I have never seen him get friendly with anyone.”
Earlier, in an interview with Rediff.com, Aruna was all praises for Amitabh. She mentioned how he used to return calls no matter how busy he was. Moreover, she mentioned that Amitabh has always maintained dignity and never showed off his stardom. In Aruna's words:
“As an actor, he is a legend. Also, when I worked with him in Bombay To Goa, he was not as famous. But now, even after he has acquired so much fame, he is still the same. He doesn’t have any attitude (problem). If I were in his place the fame would have gone to my head. He has lived up to his potential; more than lived up to it. I doubt Amitji can ever be replaced.”
