Abhishek Bachchan’s Fun Banter Leaves Amitabh Bachchan 'Regretting' His Invitation on KBC 16

Mumbai : In an amusing twist of familial banter, Amitabh Bachchan has expressed regret over inviting his son, Abhishek Bachchan, as a special guest on his popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati 16. The moment comes in the newly released promo for the upcoming episode, which will air this Friday at 9 pm.

The episode features Abhishek, who is seen seated in the coveted hot seat, facing none other than his legendary father. The interaction takes a humorous turn when Abhishek begins playfully mimicking Amitabh's trademark reaction whenever a contestant wins the top prize of ₹7 crore. Abhishek's impersonation is spot-on, and he jests that his father can't help but shout "₹7 crore" even during casual family meals at home.

Amitabh, clearly amused by his son’s antics, jokingly quips, “Galti kar di inko yahan bula ke,” (It was a mistake inviting him here). The light-hearted exchange between the two brings a fun and candid moment to the popular quiz show, which is known for its gripping and emotional episodes.

The promo also features director Shoojit Sircar, who is present in the studio audience and shares a laugh at the playful banter. Sircar, who has worked with Amitabh Bachchan on multiple films, including Piku (2015) and Gulabo Sitabo (2020), is collaborating with Abhishek for the first time on his upcoming film I Want To Talk.

I Want To Talk is a slice-of-life drama set to hit theatres on November 22, the same day as the special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 airs. The film also stars Johny Lever and Ahilya Bamroo and explores a fresh narrative centered around human connections and communication.

Abhishek's appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati is a promotional highlight ahead of the film’s release. The actor, who has been busy with several projects, will also be seen in Remo D'Souza's dance film Be Happy, the comedy ensemble Housefull 5, and the crime drama King, where he plays the antagonist opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan continues to captivate audiences with his powerful performances and will next be seen in Ribhu Dasgupta’s courtroom drama Section 84, following his recent role in Vettaiyan.

The Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 episode featuring Abhishek Bachchan promises to be an entertaining watch, combining family fun, witty exchanges, and glimpses into the personal lives of the iconic father-son duo. Don't miss it this Friday at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
