When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan told Sonu Sood 'you remind me of my pa' during 'Jodhaa Akbar’

Sonu Sood has worked alongside legend Amitabh Bachchan, as well as Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. All three of them have a strong bond with him.

In an old interview back in 2013, Sonu revealed who his favourite was and also how the three are on sets.

Talking to a leading daily, he said “I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mr Bachchan. He has played my father in Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap, while Abhishek has played my brother in Yuva and Aishwarya my sister in Jodhaa Akbar. In my first scene with Mr Bachchan, I had to push him. I told my director, ‘How can I do this to a person I have grown up respecting?”

 “He sits on the set and doesn’t go to the van and goes on rehearsing his lines. I also do that and he was happy that I also wanted to rehearse. Like him on every film, I too feel that it is my first film. I sometimes get up in the night and start rehearsing my lines or start re-writing my dialogues and message my director. Abhishek is not layered and you get what you see. Aishwarya was reserved in the beginning, but opened up while doing a scene in Jodhaa Akbar when she told me, ‘You remind me of my pa!’ She still calls me bhai sahab,”

Sonu recently launched a book recounting his experience of helping migrant workers during the COVID-19 lockdown titled ‘I Am No Messiah’. The book is written by the actor himself, revealing the emotional challenges he faced while extending help.

On the work front, Sonu will feature in the upcoming Telugu movie ‘Acharya’ which also stars Chiranjeevi. He also has ‘Prithviraj’, co-starring Akshay Kumar in his kitty.
