Amitabh Bachchan playfully calls out Preity Zinta over wishes

Preity Zinta found herself caught off guard when Amitabh Bachchan brought up a playful complaint during their much-awaited reunion on Kaun Banega Crorepati.

The Kal Ho Naa Ho actress is set to appear on the popular quiz-based reality show after several years, joining veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan for a special episode. The upcoming episode has already generated excitement among fans, particularly because it brings together some of Bollywood’s biggest stars.

In a newly released promo, Bachchan can be seen telling Preity that he has a major complaint against her. The legendary actor reminded the actress that he wishes her every year on her birthday, January 31, but claimed that she has never responded to his wishes.

“I have a huge complaint with you. I wish you on your birthday on January 31 every year, and you didn’t even respond to me once,” Amitabh tells Preity in the promo.

The unexpected remark left the actress seemingly surprised, creating a lighthearted moment between the two stars. While Bachchan’s complaint appeared to be playful, it also brought back memories of a similar interaction involving the actors.

Amitabh had previously raised the same amusing grievance when Preity Zinta appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati alongside Sunny Deol. At the time, the actors were on the show to promote their historical drama Batwara 1947. During their appearance, Bachchan once again brought up his birthday wishes to Preity, turning the conversation into a humorous exchange.

The latest promo has sparked curiosity among viewers about how Preity will respond to the veteran actor’s latest complaint. While some fans have jokingly speculated about a possible issue between the two stars, the interaction appears to be more of a friendly and playful exchange between longtime industry colleagues.

The upcoming episode will also feature Sunny Deol making his debut on the Kaun Banega Crorepati hot seat. Preity and Aamir Khan will join him as special guests for the grand premiere of the new season.

Aamir also adds to the fun during the episode when he questions Amitabh about a line from the show’s promotional campaign. Referring to Bachchan’s use of the phrase “Sochna Padega,” Aamir asks what exactly contestants need to think about.

Amitabh responds with a trademark smirk, telling Aamir that the game will not be easy because contestants genuinely have to think before answering.

The new season marks the 18th instalment of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The much-awaited season is scheduled to premiere on Monday, August 10, at 9 PM on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV.

With Amitabh’s witty exchanges, Preity’s return to the show and appearances by Sunny Deol and Aamir Khan, the premiere episode is expected to offer plenty of entertaining moments for viewers.
