Bachchan is so humble, it is unbelieveable: Sanatan Mody

Mumbai, Apr 8 (UNI) Actor Sanatan Mody, who plays Amitabh Bachchan's friend in the forthcoming film 'Cheeni Kum' said the superstar ''is so humble to work with that it was unbelievable.'' ''It did not seem like one was working with a living legend, who has given 35 years of his life to the industry,'' he said.

After bagging a small role in Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Page 3', he decided not to do serials, he said.
