When Smita Patil had a premonition about Amitabh Bachchan?

Thirty-four years after Smita Patil’s death, traces of her remarkable life are still remembered. Like his dreams and desires, her journey of life also remained incomplete at the very early age of 31. In her short life, the actor gave many stories and some great films to fans. A similar story was narrated by Amitabh Bachchan on her birthday. According to Hindustan Times, during the shoot of Coolie, when Big B was in Bangalore, late into the night at around 2 he received a  call in his hotel room.

The receptionist informed him that it was Smita Patil on the line. He was shocked as he had never spoken or talked to her at such a time. Thinking that it would be an important call, he answered. The actor asked him if he was alright and in good health. Big B answered yes and she said that she just had a bad dream about him and that’s the reason behind calling up so late in the night. However, the next day he had his accident.
