Jiah Khan, star of Nishabd, has a special talent it seems.

… when Jiah told Bachchan he smelt good and recognised the brand he was wearing, he brushed the compliment aside and thought it was mere guesswork.

But when the 19-year-old started rattling off brand names that Bachchan wore everyday, the superstar got a tad bit nervous and suspected that Jiah was going through his toiletries!

And then the mystery unfolded. Apparently, Jiah had done a short stint in a perfume factory and had a good nose for perfumes and could recognise any famous brand of perfume or cologne with just a sniff.

Jiah’s talent for spotting smelly things was never in question, was it? She picked a Ram Gopal Varma movie to debut, for chrissake.

She says Bachchan has an amazing collection of cologne and he would sport a new brand everyday during the shooting of Nishabd. [Link]

And why is this a big deal again? If I stunk half as much as Amitabh Bachchan did in Black, I would go out and buy myself a lot of cologne too. And yeah, I’d gladly let Jiah smell me.
