Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Kabhi Kabhie’ Costume Anecdote and Prashant Tripathi’s 1 Crore Challenge

This Wednesday and Thursday on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, legendary host Amitabh Bachchan will welcome Prashant Tripathi from Lucknow, a dedicated Land Recorder Administrative Officer in the Revenue Department. His sharp wit and composed demeanour make for an exciting episode as he attempts the 1 crore question!

Their interaction takes a nostalgic turn when AB talks about two of his most loved films, Deewar and Kabhi Kabhie, saying, “After wrapping up the intense action shoot of Deewar—which is a movie filled with action—I had to go to Kashmir for the shooting of Kabhi Kabhie, which is filled with romance. It felt so strange, suddenly switching gears. I told Yash Chopra ji, ‘It’s so weird, from action to romance,’ and he said, ‘No, no, everything will be fine.’ So, I casually asked, ‘What will the costumes be like?’ since I had to leave in 2 days, and he said, ‘Just wear whatever you have at home.’ Whatever clothes you see in the film, they are my own.’” AB further added with a chuckle, “And till today, those clothes haven’t been returned to me.”
