Are Saif Ali Khan and Amitabh Bachchan related? A recent promo for Kaun Banega Crorepati has Big B making an interesting revelation, leaving Saif puzzled and surprised. The promo has Big B revealing that he shares a family connection with the Kapoor clan and jokingly calling himself Saif's "rishtedaar," leaving the Tashan actor looking puzzled. 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.

<p>Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati has always been known for bringing extraordinary talent to the hot seat, and Season 18 was no different. On the latest episode, Big B welcomed 23-year-old Yogesh Sahu from Bhatapara, Chhattisgarh. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yogesh is an electrical engineering graduate and institute topper from IIT Bombay. He impressed the host by sharing that he cracked IIT in his first attempt and turned down an 18 LPA campus placement offer to chase his dream of clearing the UPSC exams.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the end of the episode, Yogesh correctly answered the Rs 50 lakh question. For that question, he used his last lifeline, ‘Sanket Suchak’. He will now return to play for the Rs 1 crore question in today’s episode. But beyond the money, it was Yogesh’s story that moved viewers. He comes from an underprivileged background; his father works as a driver and earns Rs 20,000 per month. And out of this money, he saves Rs 8000 for the future. So in hand, he gets Rs 11,000.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Growing up with financial difficulties, Yogesh managed to achieve everything based on his hard work and dedication.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After completing electrical engineering from IIT Bombay, Yogesh landed a campus placement job that would have paid him over Rs 1 lakh per month. The salary could have easily helped his family come out of financial difficulties. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“KBC came in my life at the right time. I have ignored my responsibilities towards my family for my dream. My friends are all earning and I am not contributing anything to my household. 23-year-old boy… his father is a driver and he is not contributing anything to the household. KBC will help me lessen that burden,” he told Bachchan.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When he asked his father what he should do, his father told him to follow his dream instead of taking the job that could have helped him retire early. At that very moment, Kaun Banega Crorepati happened, giving Yogesh a new platform to pursue his goals.</p>

Yogesh is an electrical engineering graduate and institute topper from IIT Bombay. He impressed the host by sharing that he cracked IIT in his first attempt and turned down an 18 LPA campus placement offer to chase his dream of clearing the UPSC exams.

Amitabh Bachchan has recently reacted to the speculation surrounding his health after social media became concerned over his blog mentioning surgery and the ICU. The 83-year-old Bollywood superstar revealed that he has not undergone any surgery and fans misunderstood the post.

Bachachan further added, "So, when a champion loses, the most difficult time is when you have to deal with it. I was talking about Argentina's defeat in the FIFA World Cup.

It was the 1971 movie Reshma Aur Shera.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The multi-starrer featured Waheeda Rehman, Rakhee, and Amitabh Bachchan. It was directed by Sunil Dutt and written by S. Ali Raza.</p><h3>How Dutt was nearly bankrupt</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With a crew of 100 people, Sunil Dutt set up camp in a village called Pochina, located some distance from Jaisalmer. Initially, the team planned to shoot for 15 days, but the schedule stretched to two months, which changed everything for Dutt and his wife,&nbsp;</p><p>Nargis. The prolonged shoot only increased the production costs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As things became difficult, Dutt chose to take over the directorial duties from Sukhdev. Despite his efforts, the team continued to struggle, and this eventually left Dutt in debt of reportedly Rs 60 lakh.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read</strong>: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/sunil-dutt-and-nargis-love-story-inside-one-of-bollywood-s-greatest-romances-1780638469547">Sunil Dutt and Nargis’ love story: Inside one of Bollywood's greatest romances</a></p>

<p>However, Sunil always strived for perfection. In the book Mr and Mrs Dutt: Memories of&nbsp;</p><p>Our Parents, Namrata Dutt wrote that Sunil once wanted 100 camels for a scene, but only 99 were available. As a result, he refused to shoot. This was one of many instances, and because of events like this, the filming continued to be delayed for one reason or another. This led to rising costs and eventually forced the director to mortgage his Bandra home.</p><p>When the film was released in theatres, it failed to earn money, making the situation even more critical. Although the movie went on to win National Film Awards and became India’s official entry to the Oscars, but money? Where would that come from? None of it was enough to save Dutt and his family from financial trouble.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/remembering-sunil-dutt-5-iconic-films-of-the-late-actor-every-bollywood-fan-should-watch-on-ott-platforms-1780634151187">Remembering Sunil Dutt: 5 films of the late actor every Bollywood fan must watch</a></p>

Sunil Dutt is one Bollywood actor and producer who is loved by many, both for his on-screen performances and the off-screen work he did. Through his prolific career, the actor earned immense respect and made a fortune worth millions. But did you know that there was one project that brought him to his knees financially? So broke, in fact, that he sold his car and mortgaged his house. Which film was it? It was the 1971 movie Reshma Aur Shera. The multi-starrer featured Waheeda Rehman, Rakhee, and Amitabh Bachchan. It was directed by Sunil Dutt and written by S. Ali Raza. How Dutt was nearly bankrupt With a crew of 100 people, Sunil Dutt set up camp in a village called Pochina, located some distance from Jaisalmer. Initially, the team planned to shoot for 15 days, but the schedule stretched to two months, which changed everything for Dutt and his wife, Nargis. The prolonged shoot only increased the production costs. As things became difficult, Dutt chose to take over the directorial duties from Sukhdev. Despite his efforts, the team continued to struggle, and this eventually left Dutt in debt of reportedly Rs 60 lakh.

<p>It has been a month since legendary Indian actor Dharmendra died, but the void is still felt in the film industry. Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan paid a warm and emotional tribute to his friend and co-star of many films, Dharmendra, on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati recently.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The episode began with a tribute to the veteran star with Big B speaking fondly about his friend and ‘lifelong inspiration.&nbsp;</p><h2>Amitabh pays tribute to Dharmendra on KBC</h2><p>Big B, whose voice was trembling with emotions, spoke fondly of Dharmendra calling him his friend, family and idol.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“The film Ikkis is the last precious memento for us, left behind for millions of people. An artist wants to practise art until the very last breath of life, and this is exactly what my friend, my family, and my idol, Mr Dharmendra Deol, did.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>His voice softened further as he added, “Mr Dharam was not just a person. He was feeling, and a feeling never lets you go. It becomes a memory, a blessing that keeps you moving forward.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Amitabh shares a Sholay story</h2><p>The two actors worked in several blockbusters together in the 1970s, but Sholay remains one of the highest points of both their careers. On KBC, Big B shared an incident from the sets of Sholay.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“We were shooting in Bangalore. He had what I call a physical quality; he was a wrestler, a hero. In the death scene, the agony you saw on screen was real because of the way he held me so tightly that the pain became natural acting.” The anecdote highlighted Dharmendra not just as a cinematic legend but as an instinctive artist who inspired everyone around him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Adding to the tribute, director Sriram Raghavan, who helmed Ikkis, said on KBC, “I am very blessed that he worked in my last film and that his last performance is something he was extraordinarily good at.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, also part of the film, echoed these sentiments, sharing, “I was lucky to have most of my scenes with him. On set, it never felt like a superstar was with us; he felt like family.”</p>

Amitabh Bachchan paid a warm, emotional tribute to ‘friend’ and ‘idol’ Dharmendra on the recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The actor called the late star his family as he shared a sweet anecdote about the time they spent while working on Sholay. 

It has been a month since legendary Indian actor Dharmendra died, but the void is still felt in the film industry. Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan paid a warm and emotional tribute to his friend and co-star of many films, Dharmendra, on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati recently. The episode began with a tribute to the veteran star with Big B speaking fondly about his friend and ‘lifelong inspiration. Amitabh pays tribute to Dharmendra on KBC Big B, whose voice was trembling with emotions, spoke fondly of Dharmendra calling him his friend, family and idol. “The film Ikkis is the last precious memento for us, left behind for millions of people. An artist wants to practise art until the very last breath of life, and this is exactly what my friend, my family, and my idol, Mr Dharmendra Deol, did.” His voice softened further as he added, “Mr Dharam was not just a person. He was feeling, and a feeling never lets you go. It becomes a memory, a blessing that keeps you moving forward.” Amitabh shares a Sholay story The two actors worked in several blockbusters together in the 1970s, but Sholay remains one of the highest points of both their careers. On KBC, Big B shared an incident from the sets of Sholay. “We were shooting in Bangalore. He had what I call a physical quality; he was a wrestler, a hero. In the death scene, the agony you saw on screen was real because of the way he held me so tightly that the pain became natural acting.” The anecdote highlighted Dharmendra not just as a cinematic legend but as an instinctive artist who inspired everyone around him. Adding to the tribute, director Sriram Raghavan, who helmed Ikkis, said on KBC, “I am very blessed that he worked in my last film and that his last performance is something he was extraordinarily good at.” Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, also part of the film, echoed these sentiments, sharing, “I was lucky to have most of my scenes with him. On set, it never felt like a superstar was with us; he felt like family.”

Amitabh Bachchan, 83, chose to drive himself and not get driven- as is usually the norm- to meet his old friend, colleague and collaborator, actor Dharmendra, who was discharged from hospital earlier on Wednesday morning and will now be treated at home. Bachchan, dressed casually in a white kurta-pyjama with a colourful beany on his head, drove a BMW to Dharmendra’s home. Jai meets Veeru Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra have collaborated in several films together but the two’s camaraderie is remembered most for their portrayal of Jai and Veeru in Sholay. The two had played friends in the Ramesh Sippy movie, who had an unbreakable bond. On Wednesday, as Big B made his way to Dharmendra’s home, many people recalled their bond. The senior actor was seen slowly manoeuvring his luxury car even as media and paps hovered around to click photos of him. He carefully avoided photographers.

Now, amid all of this, singer Chinmayi Sripaada called out the trolls and defended Ishit. What did Chinmayi Sripaada say about the viral KBC 17 video? Sripaada criticised the way users trolled the minor and stressed how adults are subjecting a child to trolling, which might create a bad impact. She took to her X profile to repost a post of a user which read, “India is such an angry nation that it is taking out all its anger and frustration in a kid. Use 1% of this anger on your govt, and you might see pothole-free roads, stronger bridges, breathable air, and walkable footpaths.” Also Read: Viral KBC 17 clip sparks debate: Did the overconfident kid go too far? | Watch
