Agastya Nanda and Suhana Khan, who will mark his debut in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, is set to make an appearance on the 15th season of the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by his grandfather, megastar Amitabh Bachchan. He will be promoting the film, alongside fellow cast members Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja and Vedang Raina. In the upcoming episode, Amitabh Bachchan will entertain the audience with fun anecdotes from Agastya’s childhood. A sneak peek of these stories was shared after the Tuesday episode of the show.
In the preview for Wednesday’s episode of KBC 15, Amitabh Bachchan reminisced about a moment when Agastya expressed a strong desire to leave Mumbai immediately and head to Delhi, where he resided with his parents, Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda.
Said Amitabh Bachchan, “Agastya’s parents had gone abroad for a trip and left him with us. I took him on a drive in Mumbai but from the moment he sat in the car, he started saying, ‘I want to go to Delhi.’ Somehow I managed to bring him back home but after some time I saw him carrying all his luggage on his shoulder. I asked him, ‘Agastya, what are you doing?’ He said, ‘I am going to Delhi.’”
Eventually, the actor had to call up Shweta and Nikhil and tell them about it. He said, “Your son wants to go to Delhi, come back as soon as possible.” As his grandfather shared the incident, Agastya was left in splits.
Amitabh Bachchan, who keeps his fans updated with his life through his blog, also wrote about shooting for the episode with The Archies cast. “Work went as per schedule back to the grinding revolving seat of questioning and in the presence of celebrities that had home content .. a team of the young that has the newest entrant from the family – Agastya! The young think and behave differently .. this generation is a varied, impressive, aggressively potent in thought word and deed, human ..” he wrote.
In the course of the episode, Suhana Khan surprised Amitabh Bachchan by asking for easier questions, citing that her father, Shah Rukh Khan, had frequently portrayed his son on-screen. The senior actor was taken aback by this unexpected request.
