Watch: Riteish, Sajid perform Shatrughan's Khamosh as they bring him with Big B
Mumbai: Riteish Deshmukh and Sajid Khan will be hosting together a new chat show ‘Yaaron Ki Baraat’ where several Bollywood celebrities are set to feature. The ‘Housefull’ pair has managed a coup of sorts, bringing Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha for the first episode of the show.
Bachchan and Sinha reportedly have had differences in the past and so their agreeing to come together on the show is a pleasant surprise for the fans who loved them together in several films of the ‘70s, with their popular film ‘Dostana’ releasing 35 years ago.

Sinha even took to Twitter to talk about the reunion, even admitting that Bachchan was a ‘long lost best friend’.

Even Sajid expressed his delight at being able to bring the two stars together after 35 years, as ‘Dostana’ had released in 1980. He, along with Riteish also performed Sinha’s iconic dialogue ‘Khaamosh!’ with him.

Sonakshi Sinha, who wasn’t aware of her father going to the show, felt left out and even 'threw a tantrum' about not being invited for it.

The show is also set to feature Karan Johar and Farah Khan in one of the next episodes, as is evident in a picture that they shared from the sets.
