Big B recommended me for 'Waqt', Jaya was original choice: Shefali. Actress Shefali Shah revealed that her husband and filmmaker Vipul Shah feared she'd be labelled an onscreen 'mother' forever if she accepted the role in his 2005 directorial 'Waqt' when she was barely in her 30s. "Vipul had originally wanted Jaya ji, but it didn't work out," said Shefali. However, Amitabh Bachchan suggested that Vipul consider Shefali for the role.
