In a delightful moment on the latest season of the iconic quiz show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 17', host Amitabh Bachchan became the messenger for a superfan's dream. The contestant, a devoted admirer of Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor, shared his playful aspiration directly with the legendary host, leading to a charming exchange that has since captured the internet's attention.
Fan's Coffee Date Request and Big B's Teasing Intervention
The enthusiastic participant declared himself Shraddha Kapoor's 'craziest fan' since childhood. Seizing the moment on national television, he expressed his heartfelt wish to take the 'Stree 2' actress out for a coffee date. Amused by the request, Amitabh Bachchan playfully intervened by reminding the young man of a significant detail: Shraddha's father is the veteran actor Shakti Kapoor.
Unfazed, the quick-witted fan instantly retorted with a famous dialogue from Shakti Kapoor's iconic role as Crime Master Gogo from the classic comedy 'Andaz Apna Apna'. Impressed by the fan's dedication and humour, Bachchan kindly volunteered to pass on the coffee date request to Shraddha Kapoor herself, acting as an unexpected cupid on the KBC stage.
Shraddha Kapoor's Adorable Instagram Reply
The story did not end on the show. Shraddha Kapoor, upon seeing the clip, responded in the most adorable way. She shared the episode segment on her Instagram Stories and addressed Amitabh Bachchan directly. "@amitabhbachchan Sir, since I'm your biggest fan, sabse pehle aap mere saath coffee piyo (first you have coffee with me)," she wrote.
In her note, she gracefully sidestepped the fan's proposal by prioritizing her own fandom for Big B. She further praised his unparalleled hosting skills, adding, "You can make everything classy, dignified and beautiful. Best host in the world." This playful banter highlights the mutual admiration between the two stars.
From On-Screen Debut to Upcoming Projects
Notably, Shraddha Kapoor made her Bollywood debut alongside Amitabh Bachchan in the 2010 action thriller 'Teen Patti', which also starred Ben Kingsley and R. Madhavan. Their first collaboration adds a nostalgic layer to their current friendly exchange.
On the work front, Shraddha Kapoor has a packed lineup. She is set to return with the highly anticipated horror-comedy 'Stree 3', expected to hit theatres around August 2027. Additionally, she is preparing for a biopic titled 'Eetha', where she will portray the legendary Marathi dancer Vithabai Narayangaonkar. Another project in the pipeline is the film 'Nagin', produced by Nikhil Dwivedi.
This light-hearted episode on KBC 17 showcases the unique connection Amitabh Bachchan fosters with contestants and the wider film fraternity, turning a simple fan moment into a national conversation filled with humour and heart.
