The exchange has already become a talking point, showcasing the effortless chemistry between the two celebrated personalities.
Beyond the charming confession, the upcoming KBC episode promises to be a treat for music lovers. Sunidhi Chauhan, renowned for her dynamic vocal range, transformed the KBC hot seat into a mini-concert. She delivered a spectacular rendition of ‘Yeh Mera Dil’ from the 2006 film ‘Don’, a song famously sung by Asha Bhosle for Amitabh Bachchan’s original ‘Don’ in 1978.

Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan continues his enduring run as the beloved host of ‘KBC 18’.
