Amitabh Bachchan reveals why Jaya Bachchan scolds him at home; Big B shares a funny anecdote from KBC 18
Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan recently gave fans a glimpse into his domestic life during an episode of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 18'. While discussing the game with a contestant, the megastar shared a humorous anecdote about how he often gets scolded by his wife, Jaya Bachchan, for staying up late to watch football and cricket matches.
Amitabh and Abhishek's love for sports
During the conversation, Amitabh Bachchan mentioned that both he and his son, Abhishek Bachchan, are huge sports enthusiasts. Whether it is a thrilling football match or an intense cricket game, the father-son duo doesn't mind staying up late to catch the live action.
Speaking about his recent routine, Big B mentioned that he used to stay up late watching FIFA matches, which would annoy Jaya Bachchan, as she prefers the TV to be turned off before bedtime.
"Devi Ji" dislikes late-night TV viewing
In his signature humorous style, Amitabh affectionately referred to his wife as "Devi Ji" and explained that whenever he and Abhishek get too engrossed in a match, she often asks them to switch off the TV.
To resolve this issue, the two came up with a smart solution—they installed a separate TV so they could continue watching sports without disturbing the rest of the family.
The headphone trick... which doesn't always work
Big B further explained that when Jaya Bachchan goes downstairs to sleep, he and Abhishek watch matches wearing headphones to keep the noise down. However, he admitted that this method isn't always successful.
Amitabh jokingly said, "When the match gets exciting, I lose control and start cheering." He added that his loud reactions often startle everyone in the house. The contestant and the audience burst into laughter at his candid admission.
