Amitabh Bachchan's Quips and Anecdotes Light Up KBC 15, From In-Laws of Bhopal to Personal Tidbits

In the latest installment of the widely popular Indian television show "Kaun Banega Crorepati 15," Mayank, a resident of Haryana, emerged as a standout contestant, securing a remarkable prize of 1 crore rupees and earning the distinction of being the youngest Crorepati in the show's history. This milestone was followed by intriguing developments as Amitabh Bachchan himself participated in the Fastest Finger Round, paving the way for eighth-grade student Ayushmann to take the coveted Hot Seat, where he accumulated winnings totaling 3 lakh 20 thousand rupees.

Mayank's success set the stage for Ayushmann's participation, showcasing the diverse array of contestants that the show attracts. The subsequent entrant, Anirudh Sahu from Bhopal and a 10th-grade student, brought a new dynamic to the episode. Upon Anirudh assuming the Hot Seat, Amitabh, in his characteristic playful manner, introduced him by remarking, "He hails from Bhopal, where we are akin to the in-laws, representing Madhya Pradesh."

The mention of Bhopal and its connection to the Bachchan family became an interesting focal point. Jaya Bachchan, Amitabh's wife and a renowned actress, was born in Jabalpur and pursued her education in Bhopal. The iconic host frequently weaves in anecdotes about his wife during the show, creating an engaging narrative for the audience.

During Mayank's moment in the spotlight, Amitabh took the opportunity to share a personal anecdote, emphasizing the relatability of the contestants' experiences. Mayank had candidly revealed his discomfort with his height, highlighting how it often subjected him to teasing. In response, Amitabh shared a humorous incident from his own life, stating, "I can relate; it's the opposite for me. My wife is taller than you, and she has to tilt her head to see me."

The familial connection between Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, who tied the knot on June 3, 1973, adds a layer of warmth and familiarity to the show. The couple has two children, Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan. While Abhishek is actively involved in the film industry, Shweta has chosen to remain distant from the glamour world. Interestingly, the mention of Jaya Bachchan's birthplace and educational journey in Bhopal adds a personal touch to the show's narrative.
