Today’s female actors are taller: Amitabh

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says the current generation of actores are tall, which used to be a rare sight earlier.

The 73-year-old actor, who has shared screen space with young actores like Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan among others, said they are extremely talented.

Asked how different the current breed of actores is than his generation, Bachchan said, “To begin with, they are taller... They come very well prepared. I love that. Many times we get to learn from them.” Bachchan was in the capital to present his Piku co-star Deepika Padukone with actor of the year trophy. “I admire Deepika’s work in Piku and the other actores too. They are quite remarkable in their choice of films and how they work.

“How wonderfully they keep changing from one subject to another. I have great regards for Deepika. She has proved herself with her every film. With each film, I see an improvement from her previous films she did. I always keep complementing her.”
