Amitabh Bachchan or Abhishek, who is the better actor? Jr. Bachchan says it is him during 'KBC 16'

In a fun-filled and candid episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) 16, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary actor shared the stage with his son, Abhishek Bachchan, and renowned filmmaker Shoojit Sircar. The father-son duo left the audience in splits with their playful banter and light-hearted exchanges during the show, which airs on Sony Entertainment Television.

When Shoojit Sircar asked the question, "Who is the better actor between the two?", Abhishek wasted no time in answering confidently, "Main (Me)." This witty remark was followed by a pause from Amitabh, who looked at his son and responded with a chuckle, "Dekhiye apni tareef karna bohut hi mushkil hota hai" (It’s very difficult to praise myself). The moment was met with laughter from everyone, including the audience, making it one of the most memorable exchanges on the show.

Abhishek's Fun Take on Family Game Nights

As the conversation continued, Abhishek humorously shared an off-camera family tradition that showcases a lighter side of the Bachchan household. "Off-camera, when the family sits down to play a game like dumb charades, Dad is always the last person to be chosen for a team," Abhishek remarked, pointing at Amitabh. "He's atrocious at dumb charades! He does everything wrong, and we all pray he doesn't end up in our team, or we'll definitely lose." His playful jab at his father, describing how Amitabh would often misinterpret the game, kept everyone laughing.


Amitabh, ever the good sport, took the teasing in stride, smiling and adding, "Woh kuch bhalta hi karenge, kuch ulta hi karenge" (He will definitely do something absurd). The candid moment highlighted the strong family bond between the two, full of humor and affection.

The Junk Food Debate: Amitabh or Abhishek?

The next topic that got everyone talking was the Bachchan family's love for junk food. Shoojit asked, "Who eats more junk food, Amitabh or Abhishek?" Amitabh quickly responded, "Every time there is a break, people think I go to the washroom, but actually, I go to eat junk food!" This light-hearted revelation had the entire room laughing and further showcased the fun chemistry between father and son.

While the playful moments were certainly the highlight of the show, Amitabh also took a moment to praise his son's recent work. Abhishek’s film, I Want To Talk, directed by Shoojit Sircar, has garnered attention for its emotional depth and Abhishek’s outstanding performance. The film, centered around a father-daughter relationship with the father (played by Abhishek) having only 100 days to fulfill promises to his child, has received critical acclaim for Abhishek’s portrayal of a complex character.

Amitabh, who has always supported his son's career, shared a heartfelt message on social media, reposting a review that described Abhishek’s performance as "magical." He also added a touching note in Hindi, saying, "Abhishek mere bete hai; mere uttaradhikari" (Abhishek is my son; my successor). This public endorsement from Amitabh only adds to the growing appreciation for Abhishek's work in the industry.

This special episode of KBC offered fans a rare peek into the playful and loving dynamics of the Bachchan family. The episode, which airs at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television, promises to be a laugh riot, as indicated by the teaser caption on social media: “Yeh toh bas trailer hai. Aaj KBC par phutenge hasi ke phavvaare” (This was just the trailer. Today, KBC will burst into laughter!).
