Jaya Bachchan praises Amitabh's performance in 'Mili'
Fifty years after Mili released, Jaya Bachchan shared why she took the role even though she was almost ready to retire.
She called working with director Hrishikesh Mukherjee "memorable," saying his mix of casualness and precision shaped the film in a special way.
TL;DR
'Mili is a classic because of Hrishikeshda'
Jaya also gave a shoutout to Amitabh Bachchan's performance, calling it one of his best—even better than hers in Mili or their other films like Abhimaan.
She remembered how Mukherjee pushed actors to give their best, which helped make Mili a lasting favorite.
