Even before the release of her debut film 'Nishabd', Jiah Khan has captured the imagination of the whole country. She is all set to make a racy a debut in 'Nishabd' the Indian take on 'Lolita' opposite none other than the biggest superstar Amitabh Bachchan, Directed by Ram Gopal Verma. She has already set Bollywood afire with her sensuality and her devil-care-attitude by falling in love with a much older person in her first film itself.

She is presently in London and has sent her birthday wishes to Mr. Bachchan. Here’s what she said in her own words:

We can only be a said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. My first little treasure has been working with Mr. B in my first film, Happy Birthday, Mr. Bachchan!! Meeting Mr. Bachchan the first time was nerve racking but he has the ability to calm your nerves and makes you feel settled which for an actor is vital. Throughout my first shot with him I only remember his performance in 'Black'

I may have learnt more from him than I learnt at lee strasberg institute of acting. He is a genius of an actor and watching him act before my eyes was like watching da vinci paint.He was very sexy in ‘Zanjeer’, he had the persona of Clint Eastwood. As an actor he sets a perfect example, for someone like me to look upto. I am grateful for his presence and feeling a sense of gratitude to him.

Working with Mr. Bachchan in ‘Nishabd’ will surprise a lot of people. The film is a highly Emotional & Intense drama and acting opposite him was such a wonderful experience. He guided me to scale emotions to that height and was very patient with me since I was facing the camera for the first time.
