“Tumhara naam kya hai Basanti,” Amitabh Bachchan said, prompting a wave of applause from the audience.
The latest season of Kaun Banega Crorepati continues to live up to its reputation. Hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, the show stands out not just for its quiz format but also for the heartfelt interactions between the host and contestants. In a recent episode, Big B delighted a participant by delivering a famous dialogue from the classic film Sholay.
So, what did contestant Kishor Aher say that led to this memorable moment? While answering a question about an Ayushmann Khurrana film, he couldn’t proceed without using a lifeline. He shared a nostalgic story about how Sholay was his father’s favourite movie, and they used to watch it together.
When Kishor expressed his fondness for Sholay, the audience and Kishor encouraged Amitabh Bachchan to deliver one of the iconic lines. And guess what? He obliged! He delivered the unforgettable dialogue, “Tumhara naam kya hai, Basanti?”
The 1975 film Sholay with Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Jaya Bachchan, and Amjad Khan in key roles is an all-time blockbuster. The legendary film directed by Ramesh Sippy is remembered for its action, drama and iconic characters.
Meanwhile, Kaun Banega Crorepati is going strong with a fair share of celebrities gracing the hotseat. In an upcoming episode, Aamir Khan and his son Junaid Khan will join KBC 16 as contestants. In the promo shared by the channel, Aamir is seen asking Amitabh, “Mere paas ek super duper sawaal hai (I have a super duper question).” Aamir asked, “Jab Jaya ji shooting pe jaati thi, kisi aur hero k saath, woh kaunsa hero tha jiska naam sunke aapko takleef hoti thi aur jealous hojaate the (When Jaya ji went to shooting with some other hero, who was that one hero whose name would bother you and make you feel jealous).” Amitabh Bachchan looked surprised at the question while Junaid was seen smiling, sitting beside his father.
Both Aamir and Junaid would be part of a special episode commemorating Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday on October 11.
