In a heartwarming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Amitabh Bachchan shared a glimpse of his personal life when contestant Shravani Jena from Odisha asked him about his wedding menu. The conversation began with Shravani discussing her marriage plans and amusingly requesting Big B to get her a discount from the show’s sponsors for her wedding shopping. Amitabh was taken aback by her playful request but responded with a smile.
As the game progressed, Shravani continued to interact with Amitabh, asking him who had decided the menu at his wedding with Jaya Bachchan. The megastar’s answer left the audience intrigued.
A Simple Wedding, A Simple Menu
Amitabh revealed that his wedding with Jaya was a quiet affair. He said, “There wasn’t any big planning for the food. We were just walking one day and thought of getting married. It was that simple.” He added that the food served was just what was prepared at home that day, indicating there wasn’t any elaborate menu or grand feast.
This glimpse into their wedding shows how the couple chose to keep things intimate and personal, avoiding the usual lavishness often associated with celebrity weddings.
No Frills, Just Family
When Shravani pressed further, asking if Jaya Bachchan had any say in the menu, Amitabh responded humorously, “No, it was just like that, no frills.” He shared that the wedding was a private ceremony with only close friends and family, and he arrived at the wedding with just five guests.
Amitabh’s candid and humble account of his wedding provided a rare insight into the personal life of the Bollywood icon. Fans were reminded that even the biggest stars can have the simplest of celebrations.
A Gold Coin for Shravani
During the same episode, Shravani impressed Amitabh by answering a tough question correctly, earning a special gold coin from the megastar. She expressed her joy and said, “Sir, it’s so auspicious to get a gold coin from you.” The playful banter continued as she again asked Amitabh for discounts on her wedding shopping, to which he responded with laughter and surprise.
