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. 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?

KBC 18: Amitabh Bachchan reveals he is related to Saif Ali Khan via the Kapoor family

<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.

<p>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.</p><p><br>The rumours began after the actor shared a post speaking about surgery, intensive care, recovery and the emotional struggle that follows.

Amitabh Bachchan has put an end to the speculation surrounding his health after sharing a blog mentioning "surgery" and "ICU." He clarified that the post was regarding the FIFA World Cup final, and not about his personal health.

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. The rumours began after the actor shared a post speaking about surgery, intensive care, recovery and the emotional struggle that follows. As he did not mention any context, many assumed he was talking about himself. Also Read: Amitabh Bachchan undergoes surgery, calls it, 'most difficult phase' Amitabh Bachchan clarifies Addressing the widespread concern, he told Variety India, "I am fine. I have not undergone any surgery. People misunderstood my post. I was giving an example of how difficult the period after ICU and surgery is when you come home and have to deal with that damaged condition," he said. 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. Messi is the champion and he lost. People thought I was talking about myself and assumed I had surgery."

<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.</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.
