Akshay Kumar revisits a childhood memory of meeting Mr. Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of Bemisal on KBC 18

Mumbai: In an upcoming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18 on Sony Entertainment Television, the atmosphere on the show turns cheerful as host Mr. Amitabh Bachchan welcomes actors Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, and director Priyadarshan. The trio visits the show to promote their film Haiwaan, but the conversation quickly shifts from their project to personal stories and nostalgic throwback moments.

Akshay Kumar while into his conversation with the host Mr Amitabh Bachachan shares with a funny story of his own. He recounts visiting the sets of Bemisal as a child with his parents. While his parents sent him to get an autograph, Akshay admits his focus was entirely on the grapes Mr. Amitabh Bachchan was eating by saying, “Sir, jaise aapne Saif ko bachpan mein dekha waise hi maine bhi aapko bachpan mein dekha tha, bohot baar bol chuka hoon yeh baat. So, Sir shooting kar rahe the film Bemisal ki toh Sir baithe hue the aur angoor kha rahe the. Main mere mummy daddy ke sath aaya hua tha toh daddy bade fan the, toh mummy ne bola beta security wale tujhe nahi rokenge tu paper leke jaa unke pass aur autograph maang le. I went there, meri nazar angoor pe thi aur inhone paper liya aur sign karna shuru kiya aur tabhi maine angoor ka ek chota gucha chura liya and he saw me. Then, while I was leaving he called me back aur waha aur bhi bada gucha tha and he said yeh bhi lejaoo.”

(Sir, just as you saw Saif when he was a child, I too saw you when I was a child. I have said this many times before. So, Sir, you were shooting for the film Bemisal, and you were sitting there eating grapes. I had come with my mother and father, and my father was a big fan of yours. So, my mother said, ‘Son, the security guards won’t stop you. Take a piece of paper, go to him and ask for his autograph.’ I went there, but my eyes were on the grapes. You took the paper and started signing it, and at that moment I stole a small bunch of grapes, and you saw me. Then, while I was leaving, you called me back. There was an even bigger bunch of grapes there, and you said, ‘Take this one too.’)

These shared childhood encounters create a warm and engaging dynamic between the stars and Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, highlighting their long-standing connection and bringing genuine entertainment to the audience.
