Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 and in the recent promo of the show, the veteran actor shared that he is very scared of riding a bike. Big B shared that even though he can ride it, he feels nervous while doing so. As soon as the actor said this, the contestant sitting in front of him reminded him of his film Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, where Amitabh’s character had a hero-like entry on a bike.
In the promo, the KBC host said, “Brother, we are very scared of these bikers. We are very scared sir. Chale sakte hain… (I am very scared of people riding bikes. I am very scared. I can ride a bike but…)” Then the contestant asked him about his 1978 film Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Bachchan’s When reminded, a smile appeared on his face.
Amitabh Bachchan told that he can do all this in front of the camera because he is an actor. “We are all artists and once the camera starts rolling, we have to showcase our art. We have to show that we know how to walk very well. (We are actors and once the camera is on, we have to act. We have to show that we can do it well.)”
Amitabh then remembered that he was really nervous when he shot the opening number of Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, where he was lip-syncing the opening number of the film. “But our condition was very bad when we were doing that. And I had to sing a song, and also had to do the sex act and also had to fuck my hand. I didn’t say to fuck my hand, we just did it for fun, so it happened.I had to ride the bike while singing a song and raise my arms in the air while riding the bike. He didn’t ask me to raise my hand, but I did it just for fun and it happened.”
A few years ago, Amitabh Bachchan had talked about his fear of bikes when John Abraham came to the show to promote Satyamev Jayate 2. At that time, John recalled that he had visited the Bachchan family on his new bike before and after the success of Dhoom. Abhishek could have come down to meet John, Amitabh told him, “Don’t encourage Abhishek.” John then laughingly said that as soon as Abhishek joined him, Amitabh changed the subject and said, “Wow, what a bike!”
