New Delhi: Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting the 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' Season 14. The megastar is often seen sharing anecdotes about his life and films, and celebs he has known. However, recently, Aamir Khan shared an anecdote about Amitabh Bachchan on his show, where he will be seen celebrating his 82nd birthday. In a new KBC promo that has been doing the rounds on social media, we see Aamir Khan read an excerpt from Harivansh Rai Bachchan's autobiography about Amitabh's birth.
Amitabh Bachchan is a reincarnation of Harivansh Rai Bachchan's father
The poet father of Amitabh Bachchan had believed that Amitabh Bachchan was a form of his late gradfather, Harivansh's father Pratap Narayan Shrivastav. Amitabh Bachchan is the son of late poet and writer, Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Amitabh's motehr was Teji Bachchan.
In the new KBC promo, Aamir revealed that on the day Teji had her labour pains, Harivansh had told her that she will have a son and that he will be a reincarnation of Pratap Narayan Shrivastav.
In the promo, Aamir Khan asked Amitabh, "Do you remember the day you were born?” Amitabh looked blank. Aamir Khan then added, “Amitabh’s father has written details about the events that unfolded on actor’s birth day.” The actor then read out a piece from what seemed to be Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s biography.
“When Teji woke me up and said that she is having labour pains, it was an auspicious timing. 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,'” Aamir read.
Harivansh Rai Bachchan died on January 18, 2003 when he was 95. The poet was known for works like 'Madhushala' and 'Agneepath'. Amitabh Bachchan often revisits his memories and writings of Harivansh.
