Manoj Bajpayee's recent revelation about an incident involving Amitabh Bachchan, which he jokingly claims almost gave him a heart attack, has left his "The Family Man" co-star Jaideep Ahlawat in splits. The actors, along with Sharib Hashmi, are set to appear on Amitabh Bachchan's popular reality quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, to promote the upcoming third season of their hit series, "The Family Man".
In a promo video released by Sony TV, Manoj Bajpayee is seen narrating the incident to Jaideep and Sharib, recalling a moment where Amitabh Bachchan left him utterly shocked. "Amit ji almost killed me once," Manoj said in the promo. "I would have had a heart attack because of Amit ji. It was all planned to take me up. I was speechless after what he said. He took my life". While Manoj didn't divulge the full context of the incident, he hinted that it was an unexpected situation.
Adding to the fun, Amitabh Bachchan playfully urged Manoj to reveal the entire truth behind the incident, suggesting it may have been a prank. This banter between the two actors has generated much anticipation for the episode.
Another clip from the episode shows Jaideep praising Amitabh Bachchan, acknowledging his enduring legacy. "We are standing in the same line which you started,” Jaideep said. Following this, Manoj recited an iconic dialogue from Bachchan's 1975 film "Deewar" in Bhojpuri. Jaideep followed suit with a dialogue from "Don" in Haryanvi, and Sharib delivered a "Deewar" dialogue with a Mumbai accent. Amitabh Bachchan then delivered a line from "Zanjeer" in Bhojpuri, eliciting laughter from everyone.
The episode promises a light-hearted and entertaining experience for viewers, filled with witty exchanges and behind-the-scenes anecdotes related to "The Family Man 3". This appearance follows a recent episode featuring stand-up comedians who also brought humor to the show, with Amitabh even showcasing his own comedic skills.
The release of "The Family Man 3" is highly anticipated, especially after Manoj Bajpayee's announcement on October 28, 2025, confirming the show's return. The cast's promotional tour, including their appearance on "Kaun Banega Crorepati 17," indicates the excitement surrounding the new season.
