On KBC 16, Amitabh Bachchan hilariously admits his struggles with online shopping: “Many people have tried to teach me but I just don’t get it”
In the upcoming episode of Amitabh Bachchan hosted ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’ on Sony Entertainment Television, viewers will see contestant Shravani Jena from Odisha take the hotseat. Shravani, a Social Security Officer, passionately discusses her commitment to helping the underprivileged and shares her family’s deep admiration for Mr. Bachchan. She reveals how her mother has been trying to participate in KBC since 2000, while her father, a die-hard Big B fan, watches every Bachchan film on the release day—dressing up like the superstar and capturing those moments with photographs at the theatre.
During a light-hearted conversation with Shravani, Big B will share a heartwarming story about his struggles with online shopping. He humorously admitted, “You all may have mastered online shopping, but I still haven’t quite figured it out. Many people have tried to teach me, but I just don’t get it.” He continued, “You know that code that comes to your phone when you need to provide it for delivery? The OTP. Well, I was told not to give my number, or else it would become a hassle. It became quite a challenge whenever I wanted to order something, so I gave my house help’s number instead. Funny enough, he’s even taught me how to shop online! He knows that when I return home after a shoot, it’s usually around midnight. If I want to buy something at that time, what can I do? The phone is with him, and the OTP would go to his phone. So now, he leaves his phone in a box at my place, just in case I need to provide an OTP!”
With a laugh, Mr Bachchan added, “Slowly, I’m beginning to understand online shopping, but I haven’t quite mastered it yet. And to this day, I haven’t used that phone because I haven’t bought anything! Then there’s the other thing—the cart. They tell you to ‘fill the cart.’ Now, where am I supposed to fill it from? All of this is still very confusing to me. It’s much easier to just go to a shop and tell the shopkeeper, ‘Please give me this.’”
Watch Amitabh Bachchan at his candid best on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, airing every Monday to Friday at 9 PM.
