Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, fondly looked back on a special moment he shared with his parents years ago.
The veteran actor recalled taking them to an expensive restaurant for the very first time. He said the memory has stayed with him ever since and remains close to his heart.
Big B Remembers Taking Parents To Expensive Restaurant
When contestant Vijay spoke about making his parents proud, Big B shared, “Ye joh shaks aap ke saamne baitha hai uska bhi aisa he ek din tha jab usne pehli baar restaurant mein khana khaya tha. Moti Mahal ek bahot badhiya restaurant hai Delhi ka, aur main apni zindagi mein pehli baar wahan gaya. Aur woh bhi kab college sab paar kar chuke the. Aur maata pita ke saath gaye the, woh avsar main abhi tak nahi bhoola hum jis tarah aap nahi bhule hai (This man sitting before you also had a day like that when he ate at a restaurant for the very first time. Moti Mahal is a very fine restaurant in Delhi, and I went there for the first time in my life, and that too after I had finished college. I had gone with my parents, and I still haven’t forgotten that occasion, just as you haven’t forgotten yours).”
He added, “Thodi si kamayi hogayi thi, toh le gaya unko wahan. Bada darr laga tha, ye bada restaurant hai yahan bade log jaate hain, hum log nahi jaa paayenge. Agar jaayenge toh log kaise humko dekhenge, kya hoga, kapde humare kaise honge? kaun kya kahega, ye sab mann mein chalta hai, toh hum aapki awastha ko samajh sakte hain (I had earned a little money, so I took them there. I was really nervous, you know, it’s a big restaurant where important people go, and we wouldn’t be able to go. If we went, how would people look at us, what would happen, how would our clothes be? What would people say? All these thoughts go through your mind, so I can understand your situation).”
