The upcoming episode of the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati will be see comedian Kiku Sharda participate as Bacha Yadav. During the episode, he jokingly hints at a rift between Bollywood megastars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, which leads to a hilarious moment.

Kiku Sharda questions Amitabh about his equation with SRK

With a total complete deadpan humour, Kiku is seen saying, "Sir, I have heard you don't get along with Shah Rukh Khan. You even threw him out of the house in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham," citing a reference to a a hit scene from the iconic movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.

Continuing the gag, Kiku added that SRK was also expelled from Gurukul in Mohabbatein on screen and even from the film Piku off screen. Amitabh Bachchan was seen bursting into laughter and responded in surprise, "But Shah Rukh wasn't even in Piku!" In his comedic knockout punch, Kiku says, "Sir, if you have fired him, how will he ever be in the film?"

This witty exchange left Big B laughing uncontrollably, with Sudesh Lehri joining in to elevate the moment. This playful segment promises to be Kiku's signature mischief.

Kiku Sharda reveals his favourite Big B film

The actor-comedian also shared his favourite film of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan. Beyond the humour, Kiku Sharda shared that ‘Kaala Patthar' is one of his favourite films, to which Amitabh Bachchan revealed that his first job was in a coal factory, an experience that later informed his performance in the movie.

During the segment, one of the standout highlights came when Kiku sang his own humorous interpretation of the classic track ‘Mere Angne Mein'. In his lyrical twist, he playfully questioned why "biwi hi moti hoti hai, pati bhi mota ho sakta hai", drawing a hearty, appreciative laugh from Bachchan and the audience.

Earlier this week, actors Manoj Bajpayee, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Sharib Hashmi had appeared on the quiz reality show to promote their web series The Family Man season 3.
