In a candid chat with photographers, Arshad Warsi revealed that there are a few people in the industry who always beat everyone else to the birthday wish race. And topping that list are none other than Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.

He said that as soon as the clock hits 12:01 am, his phone rings. Not once in a while, but every single year. Arshad described it as a constant gesture of affection that he deeply values. He also mentioned how his circle in the industry has slowly grown over time, and with it, the love he receives on his birthday keeps increasing.

Old screen bonds behind the warm wishes

The connection comes from shared screen time. Arshad Warsi once worked with Amitabh Bachchan in the film ‘Zamaanat: And Justice for All’, which also featured Karisma Kapoor and Anupam Kher.
