Samay Raina’s Playful Take on His KBC Invite
During the episode, Samay humorously speculated on why he was invited, joking that Amitabh Bachchan must have never watched his work. “Sir, I’m certain I’m here only because you haven’t seen what I do. If you had, Sony TV would be the one needing a lifeline instead of me!” he quipped, earning laughs from Big B himself.
When the topic of lifelines came up, Samay playfully suggested using the 50-50 option unconventionally. Before Amitabh could respond, he quickly added, “I meant you give us the answer, and we split the winnings 50-50!” His cheeky remark left the host and audience in splits.
A Heartwarming Childhood Memory
Samay also shared a personal anecdote from his childhood, recalling how he and his father used to watch KBC together. He reminisced, “I once asked my dad, ‘Should I apply for KBC?’ He laughed and said, ‘Getting on KBC is no joke.’ Papa, look—I made it here just by cracking jokes!”
Making Big B Burst Into Laughter
Amitabh Bachchan also shared a humorous story from a past episode, where he had invited a contestant for lunch, only to later realize she had a family of 35 members. Without missing a beat, Samay responded, “Sir, you should have just served less food and told them—fastest finger first!” The quick-witted response had Amitabh and the audience roaring with laughter.
The episode ended with Big B asking Samay if he had ever told a joke that didn’t land. With his signature comedic timing, Samay quipped, “Sir, I’m hurt that you asked me this and not anyone else here.”
