The latest sneak peek for “Kaun Banega Crorepati,” or KBC, has everyone talking. This time, the beloved quiz show, hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, welcomed two very special guests: famous writer Javed Akhtar and his son, actor-director Farhan Akhtar. The episode promises some truly fun moments, full of laughter and a few surprising stories.
The promo shows Farhan and Javed Akhtar celebrating Mr. Bachchan’s birthday. They brought a cake, which was a lovely gesture for his October 11 birthday. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Mr. Bachchan then shared a funny story from when he worked with Farhan on the film “Lakshya.” He recalled, “One night, he came into my room. He asked, ‘Amitabh uncle, are you having any trouble?’ For the first time, I felt like I was the beginner. It was like a master was telling me, ‘Look, son, I’ll tell you how to act.'” Everyone present burst into laughter at the memory.
A Hidden Talent Comes to Light
Later in the show, Farhan asked his father and Mr. Bachchan to share a good quality about each other. Javed Akhtar praised Mr. Bachchan, saying, “He is the only person in the industry with so many good qualities I have ever seen.” Farhan then asked a trickier question: who among them was more popular with women? Javed Akhtar paused, looking a bit shy. But Mr. Bachchan quickly pointed at him, revealing that Javed was indeed the more popular one. Mr. Bachchan started to add, “Should I tell you all about it?” Javed Akhtar quickly jumped in, laughing, “Please don’t tell everything!” It was a playful moment that gave everyone a glimpse into their long friendship.
