Amitabh said if he got a chance to woo someone than it would be the "epitome of Indian beauty" Waheeda Rehman and would do anything to catch her attention even with a poem.
Amitabh Bachchan got married with actress Jaya Bhaduri way back in 1973 but when asked about one actress that he would have loved to court, he took the ethereal Waheeda Rehman's name despite the fact that she is six years his senior.
"It's too late in the day to do that now," laughed the 71-year-old thespian, adding that he admires her immensely for her grace and poise.
"She's been one of my favourite actors along with Dilip Kumar saab. She is the epitome of an Indian beauty, of simplicity... so genuine, soft and beautiful. If I had to woo her, perhaps I would recite a poem," he added.
Right then, the versatile star changed the mood of the gathering by reciting his famous couplet "Main aur meri tanhai aksar ye baatein kiya karte hain."
On being asked if there were challenges Amitabh went through at the time of marrying a popular star Jaya of that time, and then later becoming a star himself, with Jaya relegating her career for her family.
"Every marriage is a challenge, and mine wasn't different. One think I find very admirable about Jaya is that she chose to give preference to home and not films. There was no obstacle from me ever, it was her decision," BIg B said.
