*When a KBC contestant called Big B as "KBC Uncle," megastar’s hilarious reaction stuns everyone* Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan who has spent more than fifty-five years in Indian cinema, with iconic roles that redefined stardom, and a legacy like no other yet for a young kid in Delhi is simply known as “KBC Uncle.” In a wildly entertaining and unfiltered exchange on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the channel shared a promo where a contestant left everyone in splits with his hilarious requests and observations. The conversation began with the contestant expressing how deeply people from Bihar admire Amitabh Bachchan, urging him to do more Bhojpuri films. However, the ultimate moment came when the contestant revealed how his child recognizes him from city hoardings. The contestant shared his child's nickname for the legend, prompting a hilariously candid comeback from Big B that instantly brought the house down. The contestant started to reveal _, “Sir Bihari aapko bahut maante hain, aap bhojpuri filmo mein aayein na, Sir._ (Sir, people in Bihar admire you a lot. Please act in Bhojpuri films, Sir.) Acknowledging the love from his fans from Bihar, the megastar added, _“Sir, humara makeup man hain woh joh aarahein thein chu-cha rahein the humko idhar, Deepak unka na_ am hain. Sir, unke sath hum do Bhojpuri picture kiye, aap dekhe nahi abhi tak?” (Sir, my makeup artist, the one who was just here touching up my face, his name is Deepak. Sir, I have already done two Bhojpuri films with him. Haven’t you watched them yet?) The contestant added, “Ganga, OTT par bhi aaeiyan aap but Bhojpuri mai bhi aaeiyan.” (Ganga! You should come on OTT, but also come in Bhojpuri films) Puzzled in a mix Amitabh Bachchan added, “Arey to Bhojpuri wali hi film thi wo.” (Arrey, but that film was a Bhojpuri film!) The contestant also further revealed, “Joh aap itne dabbang se boltein ho na ‘haan yeh kahani joh hai barso purani hain’... Main jab kahi jata hu na Delhi mai toh kayien hoardings lagein rehte hotein hai. Aur KBC ke kaafi prachar lage huein rehte hain. Mai kahiin bhi jata hu woh bolta hai papa, ‘KBC uncle,’ aapka naam hi rakdiya unhone KBC uncle.” (The way you say so commandingly, 'Yes, this story is years old'... Whenever I travel around Delhi, there are so many hoardings. There is so much KBC promotion everywhere. Wherever I go with my kid, he says, 'Papa, KBC Uncle!' They’ve renamed you KBC Uncle) With a hilarious tone, Big B, added, “Sir, pachpan saal se hum filmo mein kaam kar rahein hai usmein to maat de di hai aapne.” (Sir, I’ve been working in films for fifty-five years, and you’ve completely wiped out that entire legacy) Backing up the poor kids, his father said, _“Woh itne chotein hai unhone filme aapki dekhi nahi.”_ (They are so young, they haven't seen your movies yet) The spontaneous back-and-forth once again highlights why Amitabh Bachchan’s effortless charm and unmatched banter make Kaun Banega Crorepati a staple of Indian television entertainment. _*Kaun Banega Crorepati premiers on 10th August, 9:00 PM, only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV!*_
