Big B turns quizmaster, asks fans to find fault

Actor says the mistake he made in his film Black, still haunts him.

MUMBAI: A mistake in a scene in 2005 film Black is still weighing on actor Amitabh Bachchan’s mind, which no one noticed. Now, he wants the audience to identify that mistake and inform him.

“At the River to River festival in Florence recently, the choice of the opening film was Black. I sat through it, and at every fault that I discovered in my work, I looked about to see if those that saw it [the film] with me, saw it [the fault] too,” the megastar posted on his blog.

“The error that one notices, remains and bothers,” he further posted. “But alas, nothing can be done with it.”

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Black revolves around a blind and deaf girl, played by Bollywood star Rani Mukerji and her relationship with her teacher. Big B played Debraj Sahay, the teacher who later develops Alzheimer’s.

“I made a horrible error on the dining table scene in Black and it haunts me till today. Though I am certain, if asked, none of you would be able to find out. Would you?,” questioned the 70-year-old star.

“Let us test your judgment! It’s the dining table scene, when Rani’s younger sister, announces her engagement. Rani’s sister — with whom she has a traditional sister-sister jealousy-cum-envy relation, gets up to give her speech,” he added. “Then Rani’s letter to her elder sister is read by Mr Sahay! What was the wrong thing that you noticed in my performance there?.”

“Love luck and happy viewing of Black again for the fault finding,” he added.
