Mumbai, Nov 13 (NationPress) In the recent episode of the quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, a remarkable lineup of stand-up comedians took center stage.
Host Amitabh Bachchan welcomed the comedic talents of Harsh Gujral, Abhishek Upmanyu, Anubhav Singh Bassi, and Ravi Gupta to the hot seat. Far from feeling daunted by the iconic Bollywood star before them, the comedians delivered a series of hilarious quips that delighted both Big B and the live audience.
During the show, Ravi Gupta shared a humorous anecdote about how his parents initially disapproved of his choice to pursue comedy, thinking it wasn't a stable career. However, after he started earning a decent income, they encouraged him never to abandon the craft, causing Big B to burst into laughter.
Bassi reminisced about a childhood moment when he and his mother inadvertently studied the same subject together the night before his exam, both discovering they were equally clueless.
In a fun twist, Big B even tried his hand at stand-up comedy, stepping behind the mic to share a joke about a rat that found its way onto the KBC set through an audience poll. He adeptly mimicked the delivery style and body language of a comedian, keeping a straight face while delivering the punchline.
The current season of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, now in its 17th edition, airs on Sony TV and is available for streaming on SonyLIV.
Earlier, Big B was seen visiting veteran actor Dharmendra, his co-star from ‘Sholay’, after Dharmendra's recent hospital discharge. Big B drove himself to Dharmendra’s residence, which is conveniently located just a 10-minute drive away in the same Juhu neighborhood of Mumbai.
Dharmendra is reportedly recovering well and responding positively to treatment.
