KBC 16: Amitabh Bachchan Shares He Doesn’t Use ATMs or Carry Cash, Says, ‘I Ask Jaya for Money’

Amitabh never fails to surprise his audience with heartwarming anecdotes from his life during episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati.

KBC 16: Amitabh never fails to surprise his audience with heartwarming anecdotes from his life during episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati. In the latest revelation from the 16th season, the actor shared a charming tradition he follows for his wife, Jaya Bachchan, involving jasmine flowers. 

Amitabh Bachchan brings Jasmine flower for Jaya Bachchan

During one of the episodes, a contestant posed a light-hearted question, asking, “Jab main office se ghar jaati hoon, toh mummy bolti hain dhaniya ya kuch aur le aana. Kya Jaya ma’am aapko bhi kuch laane ke liye kehti hain (When I return from work, my mother asks me to get some vegetables from the market. Does Jaya Bachchan also do the same)?” 

In his trademark witty style, Amitabh Bachchan responded, “Bilkul kehti hain. Keh deti hain, ‘Apne Aap ko le aana ghar (Yes! She says to bring myself home)!’” 

The veteran actor then said, “Jaya Ji ko gajra bahut pasand hai, toh raaste mein jab chhote bacche haar bechne aate hain, toh main unse kharidta hoon aur woh haar kabhi Jaya Ji ko deta hoon ya kabhi gaadi mein rakh leta hoon, kyunki unki mehek acchi lagti hai (Jaya loves jasmine flowers, so I often buy garlands from street vendors and either give them to her or keep them in my car because I enjoy their fragrance),” he shared, leaving the audience charmed. 

Amitabh Bachchan has never been to ATM

The conversation then took a humorous turn when the contestant asked if the iconic star ever visited an ATM or carried cash. Amitabh candidly admitted, “Na toh hum apne paas cash rakhte hai, na kabhi ATM gaye hai, kyunki hamein samajh nahi aata ke kartein kaise hai. Lekin Jaya ji ke paas hota hai. Main unse paise maangta hoon (I neither keep cash nor visit an ATM because I don’t understand how to use it. But Jaya keeps cash. I ask her for money).” 

KBC 16 airs on Sony Entertainment Television and streams on SonyLIV.
