Dev Anand Waited Outside Amitabh Bachchan's Home Amid Political Tensions in 2007

In 2007, veteran actor Dev Anand was made to wait outside Amitabh Bachchan's residence for 30 to 60 minutes before being allowed entry, an incident later described as uncomfortable. The delay occurred amid political tensions involving Amar Singh, a close Bachchan family associate linked to the Samajwadi Party, and the Congress-led Maharashtra government. Despite assurances of Bachchan's attendance at Dev Anand's book launch, political discomfort over Congress presence reportedly affected the event's proceedings.
