Tinnu Anand’s 5 most popular quotes

  • I am a fussy eater. I may eat one dish but it has to be the best.
  • My father, Inder Raj Anand, was a well-known writer in the film industry but he did not want me, or my younger brother Bittu, to enter this industry. He would say it was not the place for us.
  • When my father got the letter from Satyajit Ray saying I could work with him, I had to give up ‘Saat Hindustani.’ So I left for Calcutta and Amitabh got the role of the poet that I was supposed to play.
  • I don’t think anyone can really claim to be a really close friend of Amitabh Bachchan. There are so many things people don’t know, even I don’t know. He has a few people who are close and he likes it that way.
  • I have directed Amitabh in four films – ‘Kaalia,’ ‘Shahenshah,’ ‘Main Azad Hoon’ and ‘Major Saab’ – and we have always been hand-in-glove.
