Amitabh Bachchan recalls being scolded by his parents
Arunoday Sharma, a former young participant, made a special appearance on the show. He had participated in KBC back in 2021. He asked Big B about the worst scolding he received as a child. Replying to him, the superstar and host said, “Jab paani barasta tha, pehli baarish hoti thi, toh hum bahut khelte khudhte the, baarish mein jaate the ghumte the aur ekdum geele ho jaate the. Mitti mein keechad ho jaata tha. Humare jitne mitr the voh sab aate the aur hum ek dusre ko Keechad maarte the (When it used to rain, during the first showers, we would play a lot, run around in the rain, and get completely drenched. The mud would turn into slush. All our friends would come, and we would throw mud at each other).”
He further recalled how his parents made him clean the entire house and said, “Pura ghar keechad se bhar gaya. Maa baapu ji aaye, aur puche yeh kisne kiya hai? Fir hume bethkar pura ghar saaf karna pada. Voh sabse buri daant padi thi humko. Keechad saaf karo (The whole house ended up covered in mud. When my parents came home, they asked, ‘Who did this?’ Then I had to sit down and clean the entire house. That was the worst scolding we ever got—’Clean up the mud!).'”
