Megastar of the century Amitabh Bachchan and Shotgun Shatrughan Sinha have worked together in many films. There has been a very good friendship between the two. But there is a huge difference in the work ethic of both. While Amitabh is known for his punctuality, Shatrughan used to arrive late to the sets.

Amitabh himself had shared this story at the book launch event. Amitabh had said, “Some habits are forever, we should break them. Shatrughan Sinha has always been like this. He had an apartment near the Taj hotel, we used to hang out there often. At that time, I had more. There was no work, but He was a star and wherever he had to go, he had the habit of arriving fashionably late.
Recalling an incident, Big B said: Many times we used to tell him, let’s go watch a movie. He never rejected any plans, but he was always late. Suppose the show was at 6:00 pm, he would not leave home even at 6:30 pm.” He further said, “Even if he had to catch a flight, he would be late. Everyone was running after him at the airport, ‘Sir, your flight is about to take off,’ and he was saying, ‘Yes, yes, I’m coming.’ “It hasn’t changed at all.”
Amitabh was surprised.
Amitabh told a few more things and said: Another shocking thing I would like to share. In those days we were working together in two films, Shaan and Naseeb. We used to work three different shifts on the same day, but for different films. We used to photograph Shaan from 7 am to 2 pm. At 2 o’clock both of us would leave the set in our respective cars and reach Naseeb’s set. He used to reach the set at 2:30 in the afternoon, but Shatrughan used to arrive after 5 to 7 hours. To this day we do not know where this brother disappeared.
Shatrughan was also present at the event, while responding he said: It is now too late to respond to this. Everything has changed. Everyone laughed at these words of the actors.
