On Kaun Banega Crorepati 15, fans get to see Amitabh Bachchan in his most candid avatar. From sharing personal anecdotes, stories from the past to his interaction with contestants, it’s a fun ride for his fans. In a promo shared by Sony TV, next week, the host would be left stumped while talking to a contestant and his mother about his name.

Big B teased the contestant named Dharmendra that it’s quite clear that he loves the yesteryear actor. However, he shared that it was his father who named him after the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actor. His mother, who was in the studio, revealed that she is a fan of Amitabh Bachchan, and wanted to name her son Amitabh. However, her husband loved Dharmendra and to mock her, he picked the name Dharmendra for their son. “Ab kya kar sakte hai, parivar ka mamla hai, jo hua so hua. Aap daantiye unhe (Now what can be done, it’s family matter. You please scold him). Her comment left the host in splits as he applauded her honesty.
