The episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 aired on August 30 brought a mix of emotions and nostalgia. Host Amitabh Bachchan, known for his charm and wit, created a special moment with contestant Deepti Singh that took viewers back to the classic film Silsila. Deepti’s dream of meeting her favorite superstar came true in the most memorable way.
A Romantic Moment on the KBC Set
The romantic scene unfolded when Deepti, referring to Amitabh as the “king of her dreams,” presented him with a red rose. She asked, “Sir, please give me a flower.” Amitabh, visibly touched, decided to play along. He accepted a rose from Deepti and, in a moment that delighted everyone, recited a famous romantic Shayari from his iconic film Silsila. The film, which featured a love triangle between Amitabh, Jaya Bachchan, and Rekha, left a lasting mark on Bollywood and fans’ hearts.
Amitabh Recites Iconic Shayari from ‘Silsila’
As he held the rose, Amitabh turned into his character, Amit Malhotra, from Silsila. In his deep, soulful voice, he recited, “What if a dream shatters like an accident, time cannot change emotions, feelings cannot die by going away… This love is a relation of hearts… This love is a relation of hearts, such a relation which can never change by borders… You may be the beautiful moon of someone else’s night, but you are a part of my every color… My dreams and my hopes are bright because of you, you can pass through any path, you are my destination.”
The heartfelt poetry brought smiles and blushes. Deepti, clearly moved, blushed as she received the rose from Amitabh. The audience, too, felt the warmth and nostalgia, as the scene subtly reminded them of the chemistry between Amitabh and Rekha in Silsila.
Deepti’s Reaction and Amitabh’s Signature Style
After hearing the Shayari, Deepti was left speechless, overwhelmed by the iconic moment. Amitabh, ever the gentleman, folded his hands and said, “Pranaam Karta Hai,” showing his respect and charm. Deepti expressed her joy, saying, “Sir, I cannot tell you what has happened in my life today,” to which Amitabh responded with a hearty laugh.
The episode not only brought back memories of a golden era of Bollywood but also highlighted Amitabh Bachchan’s timeless charisma and ability to create magical moments. Fans of KBC and Bollywood alike couldn’t have asked for a more enchanting evening.
