Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary Bollywood actor and host of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, recently shared a surprising story from his personal life on the show. During a casual interaction with a contestant, Bachchan narrated an incident that took place in London, where he was judged by a shopkeeper simply for browsing items in the store. What followed was a moment of pure Indian pride and self-confidence.
The London Incident: A Tie Worth 120 Pounds
While shopping in London, Amitabh Bachchan was looking at ties in a store when a shopkeeper, noticing his interest, rudely informed him that the tie he was holding cost 120 pounds. The actor could sense the condescending tone of the shopkeeper, who seemingly assumed that Bachchan wouldn’t be able to afford the item. Rather than walking away, Bachchan responded with poise and asked the shopkeeper to pack not one, but ten ties, each costing 120 pounds. His response not only shut down the shopkeeper’s presumptions but also served as a powerful reminder of the Indian spirit.
A Lesson in Confidence and Dignity
In recounting this story, Amitabh Bachchan emphasized the importance of self-confidence and dignity, especially when faced with situations where others may try to underestimate you. His experience in London is a perfect example of how one can handle insults with grace and turn the tables with style. Bachchan’s calm yet impactful reply is a testament to his character and serves as inspiration for everyone to stay confident in their abilities, regardless of external judgments.

In addition to hosting the 16th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Amitabh Bachchan is staying busy with film projects. He recently appeared in Prabhas’ sci-fi movie ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ and will soon be seen alongside Rajinikanth in the upcoming movie ‘Vettaiyaan’.
