Abhishek Bachchan and Aditi Rao Hydari

From Refugee to The Big Bull, Abhishek Bachchan says he has no regrets. Plus, Aditi Rao Hydari and director Neeraj explain the thinking behind the short stories in Ajeeb Daastaans.

Junior Bachchan takes a look back on his two decades in Bollywood - from the roles that made him uncomfortable to his new experimental phase. He's never seen a film as risky - whether it was pretending to be gay in Dostana, or playing the husband who loses his wife to another man in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. Abhishek thinks the audiences are now demanding more realistic films but he can't resist a "full-on masala film" with all the pomp and melodrama. Haroon also catches up with actress Aditi Rao Hydari as well as writer, director Neeraj on the anthology Ajeeb Daastaans, which is the latest Bollywood release on Netflix. Aditi says she doesn't mind being typecast - even if its for her forever glazed eyes!
