Chander Prakash becomes first crorepati of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, gets a car too; Amitabh Bachchan hugs him. Watch
In the new episode, Amitabh was interacting with contestant Swapn Chaturvedi from Madhya Pradesh, when he opened up about the lesser-known stories of one of his most iconic performances of all time, reminiscing about his iconic song Sara Zamana from the film Yaarana.
Contestant Swapn expressed his admiration for the film, Yaarana sharing that it’s one of his favourite films, a movie he could watch over and over again. He asked the veteran actor about his versatility as an actor, exploring various genres throughout his career. Amitabh Bachchan quipped, "Hum toh naukri ke chakkar mein hote hain, bas naukri mil jaye!" (I’m just trying to get a job!).
He then fondly recalled the famous song Sara Zamana, revealing that it was his suggestion to shoot the song in a stadium. The newly opened Netaji Subhas Chandra Stadium back then in Kolkata was huge, and they decided to shoot during the day. However, around 50,000 to 60,000 people turned up to watch the shoot, while the seating capacity was only 12,000 to 15,000. The situation forced them to stop filming and leave.
