Megastar Amitabh Bachchan never misses a chance to appreciate his son and actor Abhishek Bachchan, sharing a bond that goes beyond a traditional father-son relationship into a deep friendship. Amitabh frequently shares amusing and heartfelt anecdotes about Abhishek in public. Recently, on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, Big B revealed a rather unusual eating habit belonging to Abhishek Bachchan that left everyone on the sets in splits. The lighthearted conversation on the show soon took an emotional turn as Amitabh fondly remembered his father.
The Quirky Food Habit Revealed on Kaun Banega Crorepati
During an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, when a contestant praised the strong and friendly bond shared between Amitabh and Abhishek, the veteran actor opened up about their dynamic. Amitabh stated that he considers Abhishek his friend, but quickly added that his son has a peculiar habit of completely avoiding fruit. He shared that while the rest of the family members eat fruits regularly, the situation with Abhishek is quite the opposite.
Elaborating further, Amitabh Bachchan explained that if any dairy product is offered to Abhishek, he might hesitate a bit before accepting it, but when it comes to eating fruit, he is never ready to consume it under any circumstance. This unexpected revelation about the actor's diet surprised the audience and added a humorous touch to the episode.
Recalling a Poem by Harivansh Rai Bachchan
The entertaining conversation on the show quickly transformed into an emotional moment. Amitabh recalled a moving poem written by his late father and renowned poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. This particular poem reflects upon the complex dynamics of a father-son relationship, the concept of legacy, and the values passed down from one generation to another.
Sharing his thoughts through the verses, Amitabh Bachchan noted that his sons do not automatically become his successors simply by virtue of being his sons, but rather those who truly embody his legacy will be his sons. This poetic reflection added immense depth to the ongoing discussion about family values and heritage.
Amitabh Bachchan Wanted to Join the IFS
Earlier during a different episode of the show, Amitabh had also opened up about a career path he once considered during his youth. He mentioned that at one point in time, the idea of joining the Indian Foreign Services crossed his mind. He had even thought about attempting the civil services examination and building a career in diplomacy.
However, Amitabh admitted that at that time he lacked sufficient knowledge about the IFS and did not even know the basics of how the service operated. Consequently, he decided to drop the idea entirely and pursue a different journey that eventually led him to the world of cinema.
