Teji Harivansh Rai Bachchan Amitabh’s mother warned Khuda Gawah producer before Afghanistan shoot

Amitabh Bachchan’s mother Teji Bachchan told producer Manoj Desai that he must not come back if something were to happen to her son during Khuda Gawah shoot.

Amitabh Bachchan has put his life on the line on many occasions for the sake of his movies. After his near-death accident on the set of Coolie, Amitabh’s life was potentially in danger when he shot for the 1992 film Khuda Gawah in Afghanistan. Bachchan starred in the film with Sridevi and the two traveled to the war torn country with the film’s cast and crew.

In a recent interview, the film’s producer Manoj Desai recalled that he was warned by Amitabh’s mother Teji Bachchan before he left for the shoot.

In a chat with the media, Manoj recalled that he took extreme risk to shoot the film in Afghanistan. If Amitabh Bachchan was shot with one bullet, it would all have been over. If Sridevi would have been shot, it would be over. Because there was a war going on.

Manoj then recalled what Teji Bachchan told him when he left, when he met Teji Bachchan, she said son, Jaya has to wear a white saree, then you kill yourself. Your wife will also wear a white saree.

This was the warning from Teji Bachchan.” He further recalled, “Then he got another warning from Sridevi’s mother. She said, ‘If something happens to her, you don’t come back. If you come back, I will kill you’.
