Abhishek Bachchan reveals father Amitabh Bachchan talks to players while watching football match on TV: ‘Bakwas player, isko samjhao’
On Kaun Banega Crorepati 15, Abhishek Bachchan would be seen talking about how his father Amitabh Bachchan gets deeply involved while watching football.

This Friday, fans would be treated to some fun anecdotes from Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan’s lives. The latter would be on the show to promote his latest film Ghoomer, along with director R Balki and co-star Saiyami Kher. As already seen in the promos, Abhishek will quiz his father on some trick questions. He would even tease his father about being taller as compared to his mother Jaya Bachchan.
Sources close to the show shared with indianexpress.com that the father-son duo also had a fun discussion around football. After a question about Chelsea’s former manager Graham Potter, the host told the audience that Abhishek knows a lot about the game. Host Amitabh Bachchan shared that his son follows the game diligently.
Abhishek Bachchan then shared that he follows Chelsea FC and so does his father. He then revealed how his father talks to players through the screen. “We were watching the match and they were not playing well. His commentary was way better than the game. He talks to the players about how they should play. ‘Idhar se paas karo na ball.. yaha khula hai na (Pass it from here, there’s space there)’. He will then predict that the player would miss it, and if they do, he goes ‘Bakwas player, isko samjhao (he’s such a bad player, explain it to him)’.”

Amitabh Bachchan seemed amused at his son’s big revelation as he shared that he feels if you continue to talk to players, they sometimes listen. “Cricket kyu na ho, kabhi kabhi sun lete hai,” he added.
In another segment, Abhishek Bachchan also shared his sentiments about spending quality time with his father. He said, “Whenever I have free time, I make sure to spend it with my father. We share meals, watch sports together on TV, and I treasure these moments dearly. I never want to miss out on these cherished times.”
Kaun Banega Crorepati 15 airs on Sony TV.
