From revealing how Jaya Bachchan doesn’t need expensive gifts to getting gaalis on social media: Here’s a look at Amitabh Bachchan’s major revelations on Kaun Banega Crorepati

Amitabh Bachchan once told a story about his parents, who are from different castes. His mother, Teji Bachchan, was a Sikh, and his dad, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, was from the Kayasth family of Uttar Pradesh. He mentioned that there were a few stumbling blocks at first, but everyone eventually agreed. He stated that this occurred in 1942, but he is surprised that people continue to believe it. Amitabh Bachchan then disclosed that his father decided on the surname Bachchan on purpose because it does not indicate caste. He also stated that when his parents applied for his admission process, they were asked for his surname. Instead of saying them their family name, his parents had given them his father’s pseudonym.
