Sir, we want you to live for many more years.
When someone wishes you Happy Birthday at 82 years old,
you wonder how much longer you have!

After much deliberation, he wishes to lock D, Ganymede.
[suspenseful music playing]
Where did you read this?
Sir, I've read it somewhere and recollected it.
It's quite a big moon, sir.
And comparatively...
If I'm not wrong, this is the moon of either Jupiter or Saturn,
but I do recollect it being quite a big moon, sir.
This is absolutely right, sir.
[audience applauding]
Well played, sir.
Wonderful, well done.
Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system.

And also all the people here and those in the video.
[audience applauding]
I had no idea about any of this.
As I was saying, I now...
- We tried very hard so that you wouldn't know. - Yes.
They hid from you that we were here.
I happened to see that lady over there in her finery.
I wondered why she was dressed like that.
I thought I would ask her about it,
but now I know why!
Not one, there are many others.
- [laughter] - [audience applauding]
All right.
Aamir has been on the show many times
but I guess this is your first time.
Actually, sir,
- I did come here once before. - Huh?
I'm not sure that you remember.
- When dad came on KBC for the first time... - Yes.
I was around 7 years old.
I was here with my great-grandmother in the audience.
- Oh! - He was sitting in the audience.
- Wow, lovely! - So, he has been to KBC before.
My goodness. Thank you.
I think Mr. Computer is saying
that it has that video. Can we see the video?
Oh! When he was here?

Yes! Your son has changed.
He didn't say anything but 'yes'.
Sir, I managed to say something back then.
I am shocked.
Because I was quite nervous.

We watched the first episode together.
- The first episode of KBC. - Yes, I know.
- Our family sat together to watch it. - Oh!
Junaid has watched lots of episodes.
That's why his GK has become quite good.

Sir, today is your birthday.
Do you remember the day when you were born?
I mean, it's unlikely for you to remember.
But Mr. Amit's dad has written
a few things about that day.
With your permission, I would like to read it.
Oh! Sure.
Mr. Harivansh Rai wrote something that night.
The name of this book
is Neev Ka Nirman Phir
This is a book by Mr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
Our image has appeared.
[audience applauding]
I am in the middle.
I was a baby.
On page number 210, he wrote,
'When Teji woke me up and she said to me'
'that she is having labour pains.'
'It was the time of Brahma.'
'I had a vivid dream'
'and I was so amazed by it'
'that I couldn't stop myself'
'from sharing it with Teji.'
'In my half-sleep state, I told her, '
'Teji, you will have a boy'
'and my father's soul is coming in his form.'
Yes.
[audience applauding]
Sir,
has your dad told you about this dream?
- Yes, he did. - What was that dream, sir?
- His dad had appeared in his dream. - Yes.
He told him, 'Wake up, you are asleep.'
'Your wife is about to deliver a baby.'
'Go and look after her.'
Oh!
My mom came to him immediately.
He was stumped.
That he just had a dream.
- He has a dream. - His dad was in his dream.
Wow!
He mentioned that in his biography.
Yes!
It is 'Need'
- Need Ka Nirman Phir. - Need!
It means courage.
- Oh! Need Ka Nirman Phir. - Need Ka Nirman Phir.
Sir, we have read about Mr. Harivansh in school.
You've also mentioned him.
But we don't know much about Mrs. Teji.
- Yes. - So, if you could
- share something about her. - Yeah!
- Sir, my dad's first wife... - Hmm!
She had passed away.
Okay!
After her demise, he was in a bad state.
He was depressed.
All the poems he wrote back then
- were dark. It was full of sorrow. - Hmm!
After a few years...
He used to hold poetry gatherings
to earn a little money. He used to get around Rs. 30.
- His close friend used to live in Bareilly. - Hmm!
He received his call or a letter inviting him
to meet for a conversation
and to distract him.
- My dad said he went to meet him. - Hmm!
- Usually, back in the time... - Hmm!
- After dinner was done... - Yes.
People used to request him
- to recite poetry. - Recite poetry.
When his friend asked him to recite a poem,
he told his wife,
'Teji is here, ask her to join.'
This is how dad described her. 'I saw a woman.'
'She was beautiful.'
He described her clothes, the colour of her shawl
- and which traditional attire she was wearing. - Oh!
How her demeanour was and how her eyes were.
The entire description was captured in his writing.
He said, she came there and sat down quietly.
My dad started reading poetry.
What can I do with your compassion? What can I do?
In a way, it was a revolutionary poem.
What can I do... Everyone present
- spoke about his suffering. - Yes.
And most of the times,
- people get tired of it. - Hmm!
That is what his poem portrayed.
Whenever I was sad, you showed compassion.
I was always grateful,
we both fulfilled our roles.
But now the weight of this gratitude has become heavy.
- What should I do with your compassion? - Wow!
[audience applauding]
When he was done reciting poetry,
he saw
- that Teji had tears in her eyes. - She had tears.
My dad had tears
- when he saw her cry. - Hmm!
And his friend,
wife and daughter
- vacated the room. - Okay!
My dad wrote, 'I don't know why,'
'but I felt like we both embraced each other.'
His friend returned after some time
with a garland.
And said, 'Bachchan, put this garland on her.'
Oh!
- Oh! Wow! - And on that day,
my dad decided
that she would be his life partner.
My mom decided the same.
Wow, what a story!
[song playing]
My mother's demeanour was always fierce
I mean, she was a family person.
But if anyone does anything wrong,
you would see her demeanour.
When I was a child,
we used to live in Prayagraj.
I had friends in the nearby houses
who were of my age.
- I think we were around 8 years old. - Hmm!
I used to play with them.
I had gone to play. I returned crying and went to my mom.
My mom asked, 'What happened?'
'I went to play, they beat me up.'
'So I ran away from there.'
My mom said, 'Go back right now,'
'beat them up'
'make them cry and then return.'
- Sir, I went back. - You did?
And I beat them up.
I came back victorious and told my mom
that I beat them up.
This is how she was, sir.
That is when 'Angry Young Man' was born.
[laughing]
- So, I can never forget that. - Wow!
- Okay!
[audience applauding]
- Okay, Aamir and Junaid, let's move on with the game. - Yes.
The seventh question for Rs. 40,000
appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
- I'll see the options. - I think it's Darjeeling.
Here are the options.
Is it Ooty?
You have spent a lot of time in Ooty.
- I've not travelled on a toy train. - They have toy trains there.
Yes! I think there are toy trains in Ooty.
[clock ticking]
Does this have a time limit?
- Yes! - Oh!
- Okay, C... - The clock is ticking.
- C, Ooty. Lock it., - C, Ooty!
All right! He wishes to lock C.
It is the right answer. Well done!
You secured Rs. 40,000.
- It is called Nilgiri Mountain Railway. - Yes.
It has become a part
of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in India.
UNESCO.
- Ooty! Yes? - Sir, that reminds me something.
Let me share a story.
I was shooting for Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.
The shooting was going on in Ooty.
There were no mobile phones back then.
I returned from the shoot in the evening.
The receptionist called me
to inform me that I had missed a call while I was away.
The operator said that Mr. Amitabh Bachchan had called,
I started laughing.
- We had never met. - Yes.
We never spoke.
I was a huge fan.
I was wondering why would he call me
at my hotel in Ooty
and connect to my room.
I thought someone was messing with me. I didn't take it seriously.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
I answered the call
and the receptionist told me that Mr. Amitabh Bachchan was calling.
I still couldn't believe it.
I thought someone was joking.
And when I heard his voice on the phone...
'Hello, Aamir!'
I stood up.
[audience laughing]
I was sitting, I just stood up.
[laughing]
I am not sure if you remember.
I... I couldn't articulate my thoughts.
I was fumbling. I kept saying, 'Yes, sir.'
Mr. Amit told me a few things. I just said, 'Yes, sir.'
And you called
to invite me
- to your show Joomma Chumma in London. - Yes.
So, that was the first time we spoke, sir.
- Yeah. - I was in Ooty back then.
I believe it was your first stage show...
It was one of the early...
- I think it was the first one. - First one.
- Yes. - It was the first one I did.
You were told to perform that song on stage.
- Yes! - 'Papa Kehte Hai'.
- Yes. It was in Wembley.
- Wembley Stadium. - In Wembley Stadium.
This had never happened in Wembley Stadium.
- It was huge. - It was.
- It was a houseful show. Mr. Amit's fans... - No!
Everyone was there.
- You, Salman... - Salman was also there.
- Sridevi. - Mrs. Sridevi.
- Neelam was there. - Neelam was there. Everyone!
It was a grand show.
- Amazing memories. - Yeah!
There was one thing that touched me
during that time. I was a new actor.
When we reached London,
and when I met Mr. Amit backstage
and I had to go on stage,
he used to wait for me after he was done.
'Where is Aamir? Call him.'
- That gesture of yours touched me. - Oh!
He used to always look after me.

Oh.

Oh, the date is right.
Yes, you mentioned the right date.
Correct date.
[music playing]
- Let me tell you - Yes.
Actually,
there was no invitation card during the wedding.
It was just to inform people that we got married.
The wedding is done. Okay.
- You didn't invite anyone? - No, no.
Yes.
Just give the blessings.
- Come, have a seat, sir. - Yes.
Sir, may I keep it here?

[audience applauding]
I've given you proof

[laughter]
[song playing]
- There are golden words here. - Yes.
[music playing]
When Lord Ram returned home married,
when Lord Ram returned home married,
he drove away poverty, and brought happiness, prosperity, peace.
[audience applauding]
This word well-being
- is used in both contexts. - Yes.
But the house which we were living in,
- it was also called Mangal. - Oh.
So it's very..
it's written very well.
Yes. Alright.
Thank you so much, Aamir.
I don't have this but Jaya definitely
has it.
Sir, by the way, on your wedding day,
were you nervous or excited?
- No, sir, actually.. - Don't ask such questions.
[laughter]
You are asking anything.
Huh?
- No, no.. - Forgive me, sir.
No, actually,
I had a group of friends
- Group of friends. - So we met frequently.
We used to go out, have dinner,
together and one day
I and Jaya talked
and said we should get married.
She informed her parents. I did and we got married.
That's it.
Now since he has asked it,
let me also ask a tricky question.
Sir, Miss Jaya
has worked with reputed heroes.
Yes.
And when Miss Jaya used to go out for shooting,
- with another hero.. - Yes.
Which hero was it
whose name bothered you?
Like,
"Miss Jaya is shooting with him today."
[music playing]
Sir, it never bothered me.
On the very first day, she said that
Dharmendra is her favourite.
Oh.
She said there's no one more handsome than him
in our industry.
She's right.
Mr. Dharmendra is such a handsome person.
Definitely.
And that was the plot of the movie Guddi.
Yes. That's right.
She praised a lot of artists.
Hmm.
She adored Hari Bhai Sanjeev Kumar
He made good films.
My father made a film
- Anamika. - Yes.
Miss Jaya and Mr. Sanjeev Kumar worked together.
- Okay. - Memories.
Memories. Alright.
Now you're facing the 10th question.
- And - Yes.
- I warn all the contestants - Yes.
that not to risk
- at this stage. - Yes.
Because you won't get this chance again.
If we lose now,
- we'll directly go to Rs. 10,000. - Yes.
- If you lose, you'll go back to Rs. 10,000. - Oh, God.
10th question for Rs. 3,20,000 rupees
on your screen.
[pensive music playing]
- You know? - I think so.
And these are your options.
[clock ticking]
I don't know the answer.
- You know the answer? - Umm..
Nihal Sarin.
- Nihal Sarin. - These two are definitely there.
Umm.. Harikrishna, I think
was the fifth table if I'm not mistaken.
Nihal Sarin. Lock it, sir.
D, Nihal Sarin, lock it.
[solemn music playing]
Junaid, you were pondering over.
-What do you think? -He plays chess very well.
You play chess?
- Did you see the Olympiad? - Sir, I taught him chess.
- Oh. - At the age of 4.
And now he beats me.
Nihal Sarin is the right answer. Well played.
Well done.
You've won Rs. 3,20,000.
Both open and women we won, 2024.
First you'll get a cheque
for your Paani foundation.
[audience applauding]
A cheque of Rs. 3,20,000 for Paani foundation.
Alright.
This team
Arjun Erigaisi, D Gukesh,
Vidit Gujrathi, R Praggnanandhaa
and P Harikrishna were in this team.
- Yes. - And
Our women's team
- won the Olympiad. - They won.
- They played well. - Hmm.
- Junaid, I've a question for you. - Yes.
- Your dad who is sitting beside you - Yes.
Is a very big perfectionist.
[laughter]
Whenever he gets any role
he goes so deep into the role.
Are you also like him?
[laughter]
No, sir. I'm actually more of a...
- I perform as I am told to. - Okay.
You are like me.
But actually, sir,
he has learnt this from you.
He always tells me the story.
What are you saying? I never do anything like that.
Professionalism. - Always...
tells us that he learnt it from you.
Mr Amitabh is a professional perfectionist.
- No, no... - He tells us the story of how he learnt it from you.
I will tell you a story.
I was shooting for 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.'
It was my first film.
- We were shooting in Film City. - Okay.
We were sitting in the make-up room.
Zutshi, Reena,
Nusrat and I.
The four of us were sitting together.
Outside in the corridor
they were setting up for someone's shoot.
A scene was going to be shot for some movie.
The actor who was rehearsing
had very long lines to say.
The lines ran to about two pages.
I was hearing the rehearsals around 100-200 times.
Rehearsing again and again and again.
I opened the door to see,
cut to Mr Amitabh.
[song playing]
I had never met him earlier.
We had never been introduced. I was his fan.
I was in shock seeing him. I closed the door
and said, 'Do you know Mr Amitabh is rehearsing outside?'
[audience laughing]
All of us came outside.
We came outside and saw the shot.
I didn't meet him, but I saw it from a distance. I just wanted to see
how you work, sir.
I was finding every rehearsal perfect.
But he felt that
something can be better.
He was at it.
And when the take was done,
- the director was Mr Prakash Mehra, - Yes.
He said okay for the take.
The lights were moved, the cameras were taken away. They were getting
ready for the next shot.
Mr Amitabh was standing in the same place where he had given the shot.
[peppy music playing]
Mr Amitabh was
standing like this.
'Prakash, I hope I did not say it too fast.'
He was still in that moment.
- I have learnt this from you, sir. - Oh.
Junaid, when you
- were shooting for 'Maharaj,' - Yes.
It has a wonderful story.
Thank you, sir.
Did you learn anything from your dad?
Did you take any suggestions about how it should be done?
Oh... Okay...
No, actually when I told him
that I want to be an actor,
he had given me some advice.
He had said,
'Junaid, you can learn how to act anywhere.'
'You can learn in a school or you can learn on the job.'
'Acting is very easy, you can learn it.'
'What you need to learn'
'if you want to work in India'
If you want to work in India.
- 'If you want to work in India' - Yes.
'If you want to work in India, you'll have to learn the language,'
- 'and you'll have to understand the cultural fabric,' - Yes.
'Of India.'
What is India's fabric?
'You'll have to understand the Indian people.'
'Otherwise, you will be a very good actor'
- 'but you won't...' - Fit in here.
'You won't fit in here.'
That is very good advice.
I gave another piece of advice that he hasn't taken.
I told him, 'You will go to an acting school'
'but before that'
'travel from Kashmir to Kanniyakumari'
- 'by road, on a bus.' - Yes.
'Take a couple of years for that journey.'
'Connect with people on a ground level.'
That's a great thought.
'What you will learn there'
'in that journey'
'no college or school can teach you that.'
That's great. Amazing.
[audience applauding]
- All right, Aamir and Junaid, let's get back to the game. - Yes.
Okay. Coming up next
is Super Sandook.
- Super Sandook. - Within 90 seconds
- Okay. - you will be given 10 questions
- very quickly, one after another. - Okay
- You have to answer them. - Okay.
One more thing. If you answer all ten correctly
then I will invite you to my house for a meal.
Oh... Wow.
[audience applauding]

- attempt it. - Uh... - Give us an answer.
Dharamshala?
Dharamshala is right.
Whoa...
[theme music playing]
Gentlemen, you won Rs. 1,00,000.
- I will invite you home for a meal. - Very good, sir.
This is a great system, sir.
The contestants get an opportunity
to come to your house. It's a wonderful thing.
The last one was a fluke.
The last one was a fluke, yes.
No, but, whatever it was, it was right.
You have won Rs. 1,00,000 and this amount
will be transferred to your bank account.
Which will
Sir, the amount has been sent.
It has reached your account.
All right, Aamir. Congratulations to you.
Okay.
Sir, I have a complaint against you.
Oh-ho.
I have sent you a text regarding this too.
- Yes. - But you did not reply to it.
- What should I reply? - Sir...
I had seen a video of Mr Amitabh somewhere,
where he said,
'I'm not such a big star.'
'When Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman walk in'
'the public stands up for them.'
'They receive a lot of love.'
I felt so bad, sir
because I'm your biggest fan.
Tell me if that is the truth or not?
- No, no... - The public stands up where they go.
No, no... Don't do that.
- No, sir. - You're saying it because I'm here.
Let me tell you, sir.
What you're saying is people get
excited when they see Salman and Aamir.
Shah Rukh, Salman and I get excited
- when we see you. - Oh...
[audience applauding]
This is wrong...
- No, it's wrong. - Sir, you...
Please don't say that.
We feel very bad.
According to me, in India
neither was anyone there in the past
nor will there be anyone in future.
- You are the biggest superstar. - Come on, sir.
[audience cheering and applauding]
AB! AB!
Okay, thank you. Please calm down.
That's enough.
And sir, your journey,
the entire journey of your career,
has been so special
and it has a special place in all our hearts,
we have so many different memories of it.
Let us catch a few glimpses of that journey.
- A small glimpse. - Oh.
At the very beginning
when I wanted to enter the film industry,
I never came with the thought
that sometime in the future
I will gain fame.
At that time, the only thought was
that we should gain success in what we want to do
and what we want to show.
Along with that success if I get fame
then it's fine. Otherwise,
I think that it's wrong
to run behind the fame.
'If the history of Indian Cinema'
'is 110 years old'
'then Amitabh Bachchan has ruled'
'for 55 years.'
'The biggest star of the country'
'King of acting'
'Amitabh Bachchan'
'is that name of Indian Cinema'
'that is a symbol of'
'unparalleled respect and admiration.'
'His life is nothing short of an epic.'
I was born in a very small city.
In UP state,
- a city named Allahabad. - Yes.
That's why
there has been a humbleness from birth,
if you'd like to call it that.
Is that your house, sir?
- Rented house. - 'It is found in every person'
who is born in a small city.
There is a feeling of bigness when you're born in a big city.
- You're right. - You proudly say,
'We live in Delhi or we live in Mumbai.'
That's right.
But when you say, 'I live in Allahabad,'
ordinarily
a very reserved personality
comes forward.
'Mr Amitabh showed indications of being a responsible child'
'from a very young age.'
'And why would he not?'
'The young lad, Amit'
'has been witness to his father's struggles.'
The kind of atmosphere that we had at home,
my father was a lecturer in Allahabad University
and we were a simple family.
That's why since childhood
I got the chance to see
the true values of life.
I'm very grateful to my mother and father
for the way they maintained the environment
from childhood until now,
or created an environment for us
because of this, we were kept away
from the good forces
or the bad forces
that were outside.
'Far away from the glitter and shine of the cine world'
'separated from the cut-outs that touch the sky,'
'this superstar has a personality'
'who is very devoted towards his family'
'at home and is'
'an ideal son, husband,'
'father and grandfather.'
[song playing]
'When he held Mrs Jaya's hand as her husband,'
'we can see the strength of that relationship'
'even today.'
[song playing]
'And like an ideal husband'
'Mr Amitabh also listens to his wife's scoldings.'
'He pacifies her'
'and loves her a lot.'
Jaya, you're looking so beautiful.
[laughter]
Your face is so lovely.
You're smiling.
Your smiling face.
You've come to our show today.
Thank you
very much for that.
You don't look good when you lie.
[laughter]
But the toughest role to play in life
is that of a father.
I remember, dad,
how you would come back from work
and I would jump on you.
I used to turn your bed
into my playground.
I used to throw tantrums
for toys.
I used to lie down on the airport floor and cry.
Dad, I remember
how discreetly you used to extend your finger
towards me in the crowd discreetly.
You used to scold me when I was sick.
You loved me by not only
opening your arms but also your heart.
But I know
you loved Shweta more than me.
His grandchildren,
Navya, Agastya,
and Aaradhya
are the newest part of his world.
Being around you makes me so happy.
You give me so much love,
affection and make me feel comfortable around you.
I hope to make you proud of the person I am.
I look up to you in every way.
I want to make you the most proud.
I know you mean so many different things
to many different people.
But to me, you're my grandfather, and that's something
only you and I can share
It's extremely special to me.
I love you so much.
[cheering]
Mr Amitabh Bachchan is a son,
husband and father.
But for the whole of India,
he is an unforgettable emotion.
[music playing]
[sentimental music]
[cheering]
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
[cheering]
'Bachchan!
- 'Bachchan!' - Thank you so much.
Thank you very much.
I'm feeling embarrassed sitting here.
Sir, this is a must on your birthday.
You've embarrassed me.
But thank you so much. You thought so much for me.
Okay. Many memories
- have been renewed. - Yes. - Many memories of my family
right from there till here.
God has been kind to me,
and my parents' blessings have been with me.
The love of you all has been with me.
That is why I am here in front of you.
[applause]
Okay! Let's move on.
The next question has the least risk.
- Ensure you play it. - Yes, sure.
Suppose it goes wrong, you won't lose anything.
You will get Rs. 3,20,000.
The 11th question for Rs. 6,40,000 is on your screen now.
[title music playing]
Options. A...
Sir, Video Call A Friend...
- Video Call A Friend? All right. - We would like to use it.
Please activate it, Mr Computer.
Here are three names for you.
- Can we see those names please? - Yeah.
Ashutosh Gowarikar, Javed Akhtar and Imran Khan.
- We'd like to call Mr Javed Akhtar. - All right. Call him.
Make a video call to Mr Javed Akhtar.
[mobile ringing]
- You have chosen the right person, sir. - Right?
As per the question.
[mobile ringing]
- Hello? - 'Hello!'
Greetings, Mr Javed. It's Amitabh Bachchan.
'Yes, sir.'
Sir, you are on KBC right now.
The video call could not be connected.
Aamir is in front of me on the hot seat.
He's here with his son, Junaid.
And he has taken the lifeline of Video Call A Friend.
- And he wants an answer from you. - 'Okay.'
- 'Okay, sir. I'll try.' - Okay.
The next voice will be of Aamir.
Aamir, your time starts now.
'No need to tell me the options. I'll tell you.'
'It was Raghupati Sahay Firaq.'
- Sorry? - Please read the options quickly.
'Don't tell me the options. I'm telling you.'
Okay, go on. Please, sir.
'Raghupati Sahay Firaq.'
- But it's not in the options. - Not in the options.
'Sahay Firaq.'
- All right! - Mr Firaq.
Raghupati?
'It's Firaq Gorakhpuri.'
- Firaq Gorakhpuri! - Firaq Gorakhpuri.
Firaq Gorakhpuri!
So, then A?
- Do you want me to lock it? - Lock it!
Please lock option A.
You gave the correct answer, Mr Javed.
Well done!
- Can I thank Mr Javed? - Of course!
- He is listening.- 'No need to listen to the options.'
Thank you so much, Mr Javed.
- You didn't even need to listen to the options. - 'You're welcome.'
- Thank you so much, Mr Javed. - 'All right.'
His actual name is Raghupati Sahay.
- Raghupati Sahay. - Firaq Gorakhpuri was
- his pen name. - It was his pen name.
He used to write his poems under the name of Firaq Gorakhpuri.
- Right! - All right. Okay.
I wanted to ask you a question.
- You spent a lot of your youth in Kolkata. - Yes, right.
- That city is very special to you. - Yes, of course.
So what do you find most special about Kolkata?
Sir, first, let me tell you how I got there.
It was such that in those days,
- being a graduate was a must. - Yes.
My parents told me to graduate.
- No one knew what to do after that. - What to do?
Either become a teacher or a doctor
or join the army. Something like that.
When I went to a place or two, no one hired me.
So we were 4-5 friends who were graduates.
We used to meet in the evening in a coffee house.
'I am so worried that I can't find a job.'
We used to share our sorrows.
Sir, one day, a boy asked,
- should I tell you what my problem is? - Hmm.
'My problem is why did my father give birth to me.'
[laughing]
'If he hadn't done that, we wouldn't be in this problem.'
I thought this guy was absolutely right.
[laughing]
And that day, I spoke to my father for the first and last time
in a loud voice,
'Why did you give birth to me?'
[laughing]
- He did not say anything... - Okay.
- And when he went for a walk early in the morning at 4 or 5. - Yes.
When I woke up comfortably at around 9-10 o'clock,
I saw that there was a paper lying near the pillow.
- Oh. - He left a poem written for me.
Oh!
The title of that poem is 'Nayi Leek'.
'Frightened by the struggles of life and the world,'
'my son asks me, why did you give birth to me?'
'Frightened by the struggles of life and the world,'
'my son asks me, why did you give birth to me?'
'And I too have no answer except that'
'why did my father give birth to me without asking me?'
[laughing]
'And why his father did that?'
'And why his father's father did that?'
'The struggles of life and the world existed before'
'and will exist tomorrow and will exist later too.'
'You should start the new trend.'
'Ask your children before giving birth to them.'
[applause]
'Ask your children before giving birth to them.'
Wow, what an answer!
After that, I learned from somewhere that
if you go to Kolkata,
- graduates get jobs there. - You get a job there.
Then I got a job there, and I stayed there for 7-8 years.
You'll get so much love and affection from the people there.
- Really? - That you just get rejuvenated again.
- Sir, what did you do in the evening after work? - Huh?
What did you do in the evening in Kolkata?
After your working hours.
[comical music]
- Yeah. - After that, sir?
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah!
We heard you used to hang out at a lot of clubs.
- Right? - Right!
Sir, please tell us something about that.
[comical song playing]
Nowadays, you might think that going out to a club
- is a weird or cool thing, but it's not like that. - Then?
All the useless guys who were working
for 300-400 rupees a month...
- We were 7-8 guys. - Okay.
So it became a tradition that if there was nothing to do
- in the evening, we would go to the club. - Go to a club.
So we used to go to every club for five minutes
and listen to the music
and when they used to ask for the order, we used to leave.
So we used to visit sometimes. Not much.
Sir, we actually have a video.
We have seen Amitji as an artist, obviously.
- Oh Lord! - Amitji as a family man. So...
We have prepared another video of Amitji as a friend.
He is still the same Amit I knew in 1965.
The stardom hasn't taken anything away from his goodness.
It was always a joy to meet him.
He never forgets about his relations.
We have never seen him like 'I am Amitabh Bachchan'.
'I am still the Amit I was.'
My husband is really fond of the Flush game,
the Teen Patti card game, you know.
There used to be a party during the Diwali season for sure.
And so we got a call.
'Bonnie, this is Amit here.'
'I am in the town for a shooting.'
'I am free this evening.'
'I want to come over.'
'But can you pick me up? I don't have a transport.'
We had a tiny Fiat car.
My husband and my two sons
went to pick him up.
My husband parked the car. My son went to call him.
So...
By the time he came from the hotel to the car,
a crowd had gathered
and were screaming, 'Amitabh!'
Seeing him fit himself with his long legs
in the Fiat car was a joy.
[laughing]
In the Fiat car.
The crowd gathered there
had started guiding him to get in with one leg after the other.
[laughing]
Then, he came home
and nonchalantly
sat on the floor with crossed legs.
The way he lost his money!
- He lost so much money. - Oh!
- That someone might feel he doesn't know how to play the game.
It was as if he didn't know how to strategise and play.
But it was his way of spreading his love
and giving it to everybody.
That was a wonderful evening.
We cherish that evening always.
When he came down to Kolkata for work,
we were going to this dinner together.
He was wearing a pair of trousers
which I liked very much.
So, I commented.
'Amit, did you get these abroad?'
- 'Where did you get these? - He said, 'Bombay.'
'I said okay. So, we forgot the incident.'
'On his next trip, during the interval'
'of the premier of 'Zanjeer',
'I felt somebody tapping me on my back.'
I looked up to see Amit.
He said, 'Listen. After this show, come to the Ritz,'
'suite number so and so. We'll have'
'dinner. I said okay.'
So, I went there. I enjoyed the evening.
While coming out, I said,
'Good night, Amit. I'll see you later.'
'He said, 'No, hang on.'
'He picked up his suitcase and opened it.'
'He gave me two trouser lengths.'
I said, 'What is this?'
He said, 'Do you remember liking my pair of trousers?'
'So, I've got two lengths for you.'
Now, who would do this?
Not that it's expensive or anything. But you remember
and do it.
He is still like that.
I worked for a British company that used to export tea.
Amit,
by then, was in a company called Blackers.
One fine day, he took off for Bombay.
Suddenly, I got a call
after a few years. He said, 'Amit here.'
I said, 'Amit? Who?'
So, he said, 'Amitabh Bachchan'.
By then, he was the best film star.
I said, 'How did you remember me?'
He said, 'Boy!'
'If someone made my business life difficult, it was you.'
Amit, I wish you a very happy birthday
and a wonderful 82nd one.
I wish you all the best in life, and may God bless you.
I send my loving prayers to you
for a healthy, long
and good family life. That is what one desires in life.
Many happy returns of the day, Amit.
God bless.
Hopefully, you'll hit 100
and keep going.

[applause]
- How nice! - How did they get all this? I am so surprised.
Gosh!
It's been a wonderful day.
Kolkata! Lovely days!
The first time you get freedom
after
school, college and by staying at home,
- you suddenly realise that you're on your own. - Correct.
- It's a different feeling. - Yes.
- Just being free! - Yeah. - Freedom!
Do what you like! That's the fun in it.
[sentimental music]
- All right, Aamir. We've spoken a lot. - Yes.
Let's continue with the game.
The 12th question is coming up.
The 12th question, for Rs 12.5 lakh, is on your screen now.
[music playing]
- Look at the options. - Hmm.
- I'm not quite sure. But I think it's 'Sholay'. - The coin thing?
They used a coin, but it might've been inspired by that.
That's a card trick, but it's a coin trick here.
I would go for 'Sholay'.
Sir, please lock option B, 'Sholay'.
Please lock option B, 'Sholay'.
Yes! Right answer!
Well done, Aamir!
It was a guess.
It was a difficult question, but you answered correctly.
In the movie, 'Garden of Evil', two characters,
Hooker and Fiske were deciding
who would stay there to fight the enemy
- and who would go away. - Okay.
Fiske tells Hooker.
'Fiske will try to get the same card'
'that Hooker chooses from the deck.'
'He will stay back if he succeeds.'
'He succeeds'
and that's the inspiration for the coin toss idea in 'Sholay'.
The plot point came from there.
[applause]
Well played, Aamir. Okay.
I want to tell you all one thing.
Recently, a film named 'Laapataa Ladies' was released.
Aamir Khan had produced
the film.
I want to tell you the best thing.
It has been selected for the Oscars
from India.
- I congratulate you on that, Aamir. - Thank you, sir.
- I've watched the film. - Okay.
- I watched it twice. - Oh!
- Jaya is very picky. - She likes
- very few things. - She usually criticises things.
But she loved the movie, 'Laapataa Ladies'.
Superb!
[applause]
All right, Aamir. We've spoken a lot.
- Hey! Ashutosh! Oh, gosh! - Ashutosh!
Greetings!
I've come here to wish you a very happy birthday.
I think you're wearing a lovely suit.
[laughing]
Keep reciting! Keep singing!
Keep acting like you've always done!
That's my birthday wish for you.
I have one question for you.
Not only do I want the answer to it, but the whole world wants to know.
Sir, from where do you get this energy?
[laughing]
[applause]
Sir, I am getting this energy from you right now.
Really, Ashutosh!
It's the people and their love
that just keeps you going.
If not for them, we are nothing.
Thank you so much, Ashutosh. So sweet of you to come.
- And thank you for your wishes. - Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you.
[audience applauding]
- Coming up next is the thirteenth question. - Yes.
- And it is for Rs 25,00,000. - Yes.
Answer this question to win Rs 25,00,000.
And here it is on your screen.
[music playing]
- It's not the Oscars, nor is it football. - It's not the World Cup.
Nobel Prize or Olympics. I would say the Nobel Prize.
Or is it an Olympic Gold?
- I'm not sure about the Olympic prize. - Nobel Prize, C.
Let's lock C, Nobel Prize.
I'm getting the feeling after reading the name.
Sir, we will lock C, Nobel Prize.
Please lock C, Nobel Prize.
I have a feeling it's the Nobel Prize.
It's not football.
- Nor is it the Oscars. We would have heard about it. - Yes.
Aamir, you had two lifelines with you.
We have.
- You had them. - Had? Oh, yes, the answer is locked.
You had the Audience Poll and Double Dip.
- Yes. You did not choose either. - Yes, we did not choose them.
I hope we've not made a mistake.
It's locked now.
- It's locked now. - Oh.
Why did you not take the lifelines?
Sir, actually, I did not realise it
and I felt it must be the Nobel Prize.
Because it's not the Oscars or the World Cup.
It could've been Olympics gold.
The name Kornberg
- gave me a feeling that it is Nobel. - What do you think?
- It's the right answer. - It's the right answer.
They've said it, then it's the right answer. Well played.
Well done, Aamir. That's the right answer.
Arthur Kornberg won
the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1959.
- RNA and DNA. - for his research on the process of
formation of RNA and DNA.
He was the one who did the research on it.
And his son Roger
won the Nobel Prize in 2006
for his research about the cell, in Chemistry. - Okay.
Sir, there is one last surprise for you.
- Your mind is not full yet. - A very
special person is there who loves you a lot,
and wants to meet you.
You also want to meet that person, I heard.
He's gifted you
- a musical instrument which is red. - Oh-ho.
- Neeladri. Neeladri Kumar. - Neeladri,
- who is a Sitar Maestro. - Oh, gosh. Thank you.
Oh, my goodness.
You are a very big fan of his.
[audience applauding] [theme music playing]
Hey...
- Thank you so much. Please don't do this. - Sir, please.
Thank you, thank you so much.
- Many happy returns of the day. - Thank you so much.
- It's such an honour. - Thank you so much, sir.
- Such an honour. - Sir.
How are you?
- It's a pleasure. - Myself, Junaid.
On this occasion
it's a blessing for us, no doubt.
It's tough to express it in words.
That's why I'll try to express them through music.
Thank you.
- Thank you so much. - All right.
[audience applauding]
[sitar playing]

[hooter sounds]
- Oh-ho. The buzzer has sounded. - Sir,
- the question did not appear but the hooter sounded. - Oh-ho.
Sir, please show us the question.
- No, I cannot do that. - Oh.
- We'll have to end the game here. - Sir.
- I really enjoyed playing with both of you. - We had
- a lot of fun. - Firstly, we'd like to transfer
- this Rs 25,00,000 to your foundation. - Yes.

It's a quick, easy and safe process.
All right.
