Amitabh Bachchan Gets Emotional During KBC 17 Birthday Tribute

Big B moves to tears hearing his mother’s voice

In the emotional clip, Teji Bachchan expressed, “I am extremely lucky. Now, wherever I go, people show me affection and love because of my son. A mother cannot feel more blessed than this.” This heartfelt message visibly touched Amitabh, who wiped his tears as the audience applauded.

The show’s producers shared a teaser on social media, promoting the episode with the message: “Watch Kaun Banega Crorepati, 10th October, Friday night at 9 PM only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.”

Another promo showcased Amitabh reminiscing about his collaboration with Farhan Akhtar for the 2004 film *Lakshya*. He shared a funny memory, saying, “He came to my room at night and asked, ‘Amitabh uncle, are you having some problem?’ It felt like this young master was teaching me how to act.”

During the show, Farhan playfully questioned Amitabh and Javed Akhtar about which quality they would like to steal from each other. Javed praised Amitabh, saying, “I have seen many qualities in him; there is no one like him in the film industry.” When Farhan asked about popularity among women, Amitabh humorously pointed to Javed, who replied, “What kind of a question is that? Is this something to ask?”
