Amitabh Bachchan will soon be seen hosting Akshay Kumar on Kaun Banega Crorepati 14 (KBC). The legendary actor's recent promo teasing Akshay when he said that he once 'quietly went and returned' from Kumbh Mela held in Allahabad has been released. In a new promo video shared by Sony Entertainment Television on Instagram on Tuesday, Akshay Kumar was seen on the hot seat for a finale special episode.
In one of the promos, Akshay and Amitabh were seen conversing about the famous Kumbh Mela, which takes place every year in four holy locations — Haridwar, Ujjain, Nashik and Allahabad. At one point, Big B turned to his celebrity guest, and asked him if he has ever experienced the Kumbh Mela in person. Akshay said that he had. Akshay said in Hindi, “Mauka mila tha, chup chap chala gaya tha, chup chap jaake waapis aaya (I was given the chance once, so I went there quietly and without letting too many people know of my whereabouts).” This answer was met with slight scepticism by the host, who in turn looked at the studio audience and asked, “Ye chup chaap gaye the (He went quietly)?”
Akshay made his comeback teasing Amitabh with his reply, “Kyu, main chup chaap nahi jaa sakta (Why I can't go quietly)?" The veratan actor said, "Nahi nahi jaasakte hai sir lekin (No, you can go sir but...)."
Akshay interrupted him saying, "Aap kayi kayi jagahon pe chup chaap jaate ho, hum nahi jaa sakte kahi bhi (You have visited many places quietly, I can't do the same)?” Confused about his reply for a moment, Amitabh smiled and said, "Nahi nahi (Of course)." He then burst out laughing as Akshay joined him.
