Amitabh Bachchan says actress Zubeida was married to Maharaja Hanwant Singh on KBC 18, Khalid Mohammed slams makers: ‘How could your research team make such a gaffe?’

However, in reality, Hanwant Singh’s wife Zubeida is different from the actress Zubeida. This goof up was pointed out by several X users, eventually catching the attention of Zubeida’s son Khalid Mohammed. He slammed the makers of the show on his X account, and wrote, “KBC, Amitabh Bachchan. This is my late mother Zubeida Begum. She wasn’t born when Alam Ara was made. An apology on the program for gaffe would be the least you could do. But know something? I don’t expect it.”

In another post, he wrote, “Kaun Banega Crorepati… Whoever calls the shots may I request for a clarification on KBC. Zubeida (Dhanragir) was renowned actress who featured in Alam Ara. Not my maa Zubeida, did wish to act, wasn’t permitted by her strict father. How cld your research team make such a gaffe?”

Another user shared, “So #KaunBanegaKarodPati goofed up today when it comes to the question on Maharaj Hanwant Singh and his wife Zubeida Beghum who both died in plane crash in 1952.”

He added, “This Zubeida (1), the second wife of Hamwant Singh ji was not the lead actress of the first talkie film #AalamAara (1931) while @SrBachchan in his commentary claimed Zubeida (1 – wife of Hanwant Singh ji) was the lead of AalamAara. Zubeida (2) the lead actress of AalamAara had married Maharaj of Hyderabad and lived upto late 80s. She had recorded an Aalam Aara song for Tata Oil Mills’ show Mortal Men Immortal Melodies in 1982 [to mark 50 yrs of Talkies].”
