Amitabh Bachchan Makes An Exception For Abhishek

 Amitabh Bachchan Makes An Exception For Abhishek

Kaun Banega Crorepati is a big show. Apart from the fact that it makes crorepati out of ordinary commoners, it also gives them the only opportunity ever to meet the superstar of the millennium, Amitabh Bachchan. The way he interacts with people is simply fascinating and heartwarming. He is also known to follow the rules of the game very closely. But it seems he had to relax one of those rules when his son came calling.

The Happy New Year team was on KBC recently to promote the film. Abhishek Bachchan was also part of the team along with Shah Rukh Khan and others. But since he is Bachchan’s son, the rule of not having family members on the hot seat was relaxed to accommodate him. In Bachchan’s defense, they were on the show for a noble cause. 

The proceeds of the episode would go to a charitable organization and so Bachchan made an exception. Well, we don’t mind. The promos suggest it will be on hilarious Q n A session!
