In a recent interview with The Punjabi Link, the veteran actor reminisced about Amitabh Bachchan's humility while filming his unreleased movie Shoebite. She mentioned that the megastar arranged for tents for the crew members while shooting the film in Manali during a snowfall.

Dolly, while speaking about the shooting experience told, “Punctuality. We used to be five minutes late, but he’d be 10 minutes early. And the respect that he used to give to the crew, the light boys, everyone. Amazing is the word. It was snowing in Manali, frightfully cold. They’d erected a tent especially for him, and he said, ‘What about the others? Arrange tents for them too. Bring them angithis’.”
