Manoj Bajpayee and Amitabh Bachchan
Bollywood actors Manoj Bajpayee, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Sharib Hashmi are set to appear on Amitabh Bachchan's reality quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, to promote their upcoming third season of The Family Man. The new promo has some amusing banter between Manoj and Big B, with the actor recalling how the host once nearly gave him a heart attack.
The promo depicts Manoj telling Jaideep Ahlawat and Sharib Hashmi about his 'deadly' experience with Big B. He stated, "Amit ji ne ek Baar mujhe maar diya tha. Mera heart attack hojata sirf Amit ji ke karan. yeh pura mujhe plan kiya gaya tha mujhe upar leke jaane ke liye. Main Awak reh gaya ki inhone kya bola. Inhone meri jaan le li thi". (Amit ji had once killed me. I nearly had a heart attack because of him. All of this was intended to propel me upward. He said something that surprised me. He had nearly taken my life.)
