Mumbai, Oct 6 (NationPress) The latest episode of the quiz-based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ features a delightful mix of humor among the show’s host Amitabh Bachchan, renowned screenwriter Javed Akhtar, and his son Farhan Akhtar.
A newly released promo from the producers on Monday depicts the trio enjoying a fun-filled atmosphere on set. During a segment, Farhan took on the role of the host, engaging the two esteemed gentlemen in a quiz round, with Big B and Javed Akhtar on the hotseat.
Farhan posed the question, “What quality would you both like to steal from each other?” To which Javed Akhtar responded, “The quality I’ve noticed in him is unmatched in the film industry.”
Farhan then cheekily asked, “Who’s more popular with the ladies?” His father retorted, “What kind of question is that?”
Big B chimed in, “No, no, allow me to share,” but Javed Akhtar interjected with his trademark humor, saying, “Don’t share everything,” prompting laughter from Big B.
In another part of the episode, Amitabh Bachchan reminisced about his first collaboration with the multi-talented Farhan Akhtar on the film ‘Lakshya’. He recalled how Farhan approached him one night, asking, “Amit uncle, are you facing any issues?” This moment made him feel like a novice as Farhan offered acting advice.
Big B and Javed Akhtar share a long-standing bond, as it was Javed Akhtar, along with his writing partner Salim Khan, who revolutionized commercial Hindi cinema in the 1970s. This duo wrote a series of 12 consecutive blockbusters, which solidified Big B as the 'angry young man' and a leading star of India.
The iconic persona of the 'angry young man' became a sensation thanks to Salim-Javed, who also advocated for Big B's name to filmmakers, effectively eclipsing Rajesh Khanna and establishing Big B as a phenomenon in the 1970s.
