Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan has gone through a light-hearted moment on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 after a contestant revealed that she had fallen asleep while watching one of his films.
Almas Khan, a contestant from Jaipur, recalled watching Bachchan’s 1997 film “Mrityudaata” at the city’s iconic Raj Mandir theatre when she was a child.
Almas said she had gone to the theatre with her cousins but ended up remembering the venue more vividly than the film.
She told Bachchan that Raj Mandir was so beautiful and comfortable, with its air conditioning, that she fell asleep during the screening.
“I fell asleep because the place was so beautiful and comfortable. When I opened my eyes, the film had already ended and your song was playing,” she explained.
Almas added that “Mrityudaata” was still the first Bachchan film she remembered seeing.
Bachchan was quick to spot the irony and jokingly asked her, “How did you watch it while sleeping? The film had already ended, right?” he quipped.
Directed by Mehul Kumar, “Mrityudaata” featured Bachchan as Dr Ram Prasad Ghayal, a respected surgeon. Dimple Kapadia, Karisma Kapoor and Arbaaz Ali Khan were also in the cast.
Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 airs Monday to Friday at 9pm on Sony Entertainment Television and streams on Sony LIV.
