Amitabh Bachchan, known for his candid and heartwarming revelations on his popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, shared a sweet gesture he often practices for his wife, Jaya Bachchan, during a recent episode of the 16th season.
While interacting with a contestant, Amitabh was asked if Jaya Bachchan ever asks him to bring something home, much like how the contestant’s mother requests vegetables. Amitabh’s response was both humorous and endearing. “Yes! She says to bring myself home,” he quipped, before adding a touching detail about his wife’s love for jasmine flowers.
“Jaya Ji ko gajra bahut pasand hai,” Amitabh said, explaining that his wife has a fondness for jasmine garlands. He revealed that while driving, he often buys jasmine flowers from street vendors selling garlands, which he either gifts to Jaya or keeps in his car because he enjoys the fragrance. “Woh haar kabhi Jaya Ji ko deta hoon ya kabhi gaadi mein rakh leta hoon, kyunki unki mehek acchi lagti hai,” he said, describing the beautiful scent of the flowers.
This personal anecdote gave fans a glimpse into the actor’s affectionate gestures toward his wife of many years. Amitabh’s charm and candidness on the show continue to endear him to viewers.
The conversation then took a humorous turn when the contestant asked if the megastar visits the ATM or keeps cash. Amitabh responded with a laugh, confessing that he neither keeps cash nor uses ATMs, admitting he never understood how to operate them. “Na toh hum apne paas cash rakhte hai, na kabhi ATM gaye hai, kyunki hamein samajh nahi aata ke kartein kaise hai,” he said. However, he shared that Jaya keeps cash, and he often asks her for money when needed.
Amitabh Bachchan’s down-to-earth responses on Kaun Banega Crorepati not only showcase his wit but also offer rare insights into his personal life, making the show even more relatable for his fans.
