To promote his movie Ikkis, actor Agastya Nanda will make a special appearance on an upcoming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 alongside his grandfather Amitabh Bachchan. Additionally, Agastya`s mother Shweta Bachchan will be joining them, making the show a full-fledged family affair.
Amitabh is seen putting his grandson on the spot by jokingly asking him which of his grandparents—his nana Amitabh Bachchan or his nani Jaya Bachchan—he prefers.
Big B puts Agastya Nanda in a fix
An episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 will shortly include Agastya Nanda, director Sriram Raghavan, and his co-stars Jaideep Ahlawat and Simar Bhatia. A sneak peek of the Bachchan family reunion on the KBC stage was provided via the producers` Instagram teaser for the show on Tuesday night. According to the video, Agastya`s sister Navya Naveli Nanda and mother Shweta Bachchan would be attending as guests.
When an audience member poses a challenging question to Agastya in the promo, the actor is taken aback. “Mera sawal Agastya se hai.” I have a question for Agastya. What is your favorite kaun hai nana ya nani? “Who is your favorite, Nana or Nani?” she asks.
Agastya is seen chuckling in response, saying, “Mushkil hai bahut yeh…” The next question is incredibly difficult. Nahi-nahi. Please ask the next question.
His grandfather Amitabh is seen stepping in at this point and stating, “Nahi, nahi bolne dijiye…” Let him say, hum janna chahthe hain. I would like to know the solution. Shweta is seen dismissing the audience`s laughter while Agastya struggles with the situation, and Jaideep can`t help but make fun of the young actor.
“Agar vanity mein pitna hai toh nani ka naam lelo… Aur ghar jaake pitna hai toh nanu ka naam lelo (If you want to get beaten up in the vanity van, take nani’s name… and if you want to get beaten up at home, take nanu’s name),” Jaideep further jokes.
Amitabh Bachchan penned a heartfelt note for Agastya
Recalling the moment he had Agastya in his arms as a newborn, Amitabh recently posted a touching message regarding Agastya`s performance on his blog.
He wrote, “As do they tonight when you witness the grandson excel in IKKIS .. the time when his Mother, Shweta is being rushed to Breach Candy Hospital as she encounters final labour pains .. his birth .. holding him barely a few hours later, and discussing whether his eyes were blue .. to the time when he grew a bit and holding him in my arms, and he fiddles with my beard .. to his growth .. to the final personal decision of his to be an actor.”
