The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 took an interesting turn when Amitabh Bachchan shared some new information about his wife, Jaya Bachchan. Did you know she was an NCC cadet? The veteran actor revealed this while talking to contestant Neha Kumar, who is preparing for her Combined Defence Services exams and the Air Force Common Admission Test.
While sitting on the hot seat, Neha mentioned that she had been unsure about her career until she joined NCC (National Cadet Corps). Curious, she asked Amitabh if Jaya Bachchan had also been an NCC cadet, eager to know more about Jaya’s experience.
Amitabh Bachchan responded, saying, “You’re absolutely right. Let me tell you about Jaya Ji—she was a junior NCC cadet. From what I remember, she led her battalion during the Republic Day parade and even won the best cadet award. I’m not sure if I got all the details right though. I might be in trouble when I get home for saying this!”
In a fun twist, Amitabh also recalled an earlier moment when Aamir Khan left him surprised with a question about Jaya on the sets of KBC 16. As part of a special birthday segment, Aamir, along with his son Junaid, appeared on the show. The makers recently shared a promo where Aamir teased Amitabh, saying, “I have a super important question for you.” When Amitabh asked what it was, Aamir asked, “When Jaya Ji used to go for shoots with another actor, which hero’s name would make you feel jealous and think, ‘Hmm, okay’?”
This light-hearted moment added more fun to the episode, giving the audience a glimpse of Big B’s playful side.
