The upcoming episode of the quiz-based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ will see Commonwealth Games 2026 winners Lovlina Borgohain, Asmita Dey, Jhandu Kumar, and Sharmila Dhankar alongside show host Amitabh Bachchan. During an interaction with the winners, Amitabh Bachchan recalled how he was criticised for his height and even rebuked by a director for reaching late on sets.

Amitabh Bachchan recalls facing criticism

Asmita Dey asked if Amitabh also had to face scolding on set like athletes do when they make mistakes. He said, “Humko badi daant padti hain, shuru-shuru mein toh bahut padi thi. ‘Tumko kuch aata nahi hai, acting-wacting, tum bahut lambe ho, jaake ghar jaao.’ (I used to get scolded a lot. In the beginning, I was scolded immensely. They would tell me, ‘You don't know anything about acting, you are too tall, go back home’).”
