Amitabh Bachchan shares a connection with the Kapoor family
On August 2, Sony TV shared the latest promo for the upcoming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati featuring Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar, who came to promote their upcoming movie, Haiwaan.
In the promo, while pointing at Saif, Big B stated, "Many people don’t know that he is in our relation." Saif asked, "Me?" To which Big B explained that the family connection goes through the Kapoor family, as Khan is married to Kareena Kapoor. Bachchan further added, "Raj Kapoor's daughter, Ritu's son Nikhil Nanda is married to my daughter (Shweta Bachchan). So I want to know what I should call Kareena now? And how should Kareena address me?
Khan replied in his signature witty style, “Thank God it's not a question” leaving everyone amused.
For the unversed, Raj Kapoor is Kareena Kapoor Khan's grandfather, while Ritu Nanda was her aunt. Hence, Ritu's son, Nikhil Nanda, is Kareena's cousin. Since Nanda is married to Bachchan's daughter, the Kapoor and Bachchan families share a connection.
Fans would recall that Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor were engaged at one point in time. During Big B's 60th birthday celebrations, the couple's engagement was announced to the media and Jaya Bachchan had introduced Karisma as her ‘future daughter-in-law’ to the audience.
“The Bachchan and Nanda families are now going to make the Kapoor family a part of our own. Along with Babita and Randhir Kapoor, we welcome our future daughter-in-law, Karisma Kapoor," Jaya Bachchan had said.
However, the engagement did not last long and was called off a few months later. No official statements were released by either of the families. Karisma later married Sunjay Kapur and got divorced a decade later. Abhishek eventually married Aishwarya Rai in 2007.
