Veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, known for his candid revelations on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), recently shared a quirky anecdote about his financial habits. In the latest episode of the show’s 16th season, Bachchan disclosed that he has never used an ATM and depends on his wife, actress-turned-politician Jaya Bachchan, for cash.
Amitabh’s Love for Jasmine Garlands
During an engaging conversation with a contestant, Amitabh was asked if his wife Jaya ever requested him to bring something home, akin to how mothers ask their children to pick up essentials. The actor humorously responded, “Bilkul kehti hain. Keh deti hain, ‘Apne aap ko le aana ghar (Yes! She says to bring myself home)!’”
He further revealed Jaya’s fondness for jasmine garlands, stating, “Jaya Ji ko gajra bahut pasand hai, toh raaste mein jab chhote bacche haar bechne aate hain, toh main unse kharidta hoon aur woh haar kabhi Jaya Ji ko deta hoon ya kabhi gaadi mein rakh leta hoon, kyunki unki mehek acchi lagti hai (Jaya loves jasmine flowers, so I often buy garlands from roadside vendors and either give them to her or keep them in my car for their beautiful fragrance).”
“I Don’t Keep Cash With Me,” Says Amitabh
In another lighthearted moment, the contestant inquired if the megastar has ever visited an ATM or keeps cash handy. To this, Amitabh confessed, “Na toh hum apne paas cash rakhte hai, na kabhi ATM gaye hai, kyunki hamein samajh nahi aata ke kartein kaise hai. Lekin Jaya ji ke paas hota hai. Main unse paise maangta hoon (I neither keep cash nor visit an ATM because I don’t understand how to use one. But Jaya keeps cash. I ask her for money).”
The popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, streams on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV.
