Manoj Bajpayee Says Amitabh Bachchan Once Left Him Terrified

Bollywood stars Manoj Bajpayee, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Sharib Hashmi are set to appear on a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 as part of the promotional run for the upcoming third season of The Family Man. A new promo offers viewers a glimpse of their lively interaction with host Amitabh Bachchan, including an anecdote from Manoj Bajpayee that has quickly captured attention.

In the clip, Manoj narrates a surprising incident from years ago, revealing how Amitabh Bachchan unintentionally left him deeply shocked. Describing the moment in a light-hearted manner, he says, “Amit ji ne ek baar mujhe maar diya tha. Mera heart attack ho jata sirf Amit ji ke karan. Yeh pura mujhe upar le jaane ke liye plan kiya gaya tha. Main awakh reh gaya ki inhone kya bola. Inhone meri jaan le li thi.” Though he refrains from disclosing the full context, the actor hints that the situation had been planned in a way that startled him more than expected. Bachchan, amused, keeps urging him to let him reveal “the entire truth,” suggesting the incident may have involved a playful prank.

The promo also includes a charming moment where Amitabh Bachchan delivers his iconic Zanjeer dialogue — “Jab tak baithne ko naa bola jaaye, khade raho, yeh police station hai, tumhare baap ka ghar nahi.” This time, he adds a Bhojpuri twist, leaving the actors and the studio audience laughing. The light humour and camaraderie between the guests and the host set the tone for an episode filled with nostalgia and fun.

Just days earlier, the show hosted popular stand-up comedians Harsh Gujral, Anubhav Singh Bassi, Abhishek Upmanyu, and Ravi Gupta, who brought waves of laughter to the set. Amitabh Bachchan also joined in the humour, surprising fans with his own comic timing.

The upcoming episode featuring Manoj Bajpayee, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Sharib Hashmi is expected to deliver a blend of entertainment, witty exchanges, and behind-the-scenes conversations linked to The Family Man 3. The episode will air this Friday at 9 PM.
