Popular YouTubers Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhat, and Bhuvan Bam recently appeared on a special episode of the iconic Indian quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. A captivating clip from the episode, widely circulated on social media, showcases the comedic brilliance of the three YouTubers, particularly Samay Raina, known for his provocative roast show, India’s Got Latent.
The clip centers on Samay and Tanmay in the KBC hot seat, with Bhuvan Bam a supportive presence in the audience. Samay’s humour is on full display as he playfully teases Bachchan, a figure revered in Indian cinema.
His jokes revolve around the surprisingly pervasive influence of the film Sooryavansham, a movie whose ubiquitous presence on Sony Max apparently led to Samay’s repeated viewings, making it, in his words, the first, second, and third Amitabh Bachchan film he ever saw.
The humour escalated as Samay questioned Bachchan’s character’s decision to taste the poisoned kheer a second time in Sooryavansham, eliciting laughter from both Bachchan and the audience. The interaction highlights the comfortable rapport between the established superstar and the rising stars of the YouTube generation.
The playful banter continued as Bachchan himself quoted the iconic line, “Rishte mein toh hum tumhare baap lagte hain, naam hai Shahenshah,” from his 1988 film Shahenshah. Samay, ever quick-witted, immediately retorted with a humorous request for a share of Bachchan’s property, given the newly established “father-son” relationship.
Adding another layer of amusement, Samay recounted a (likely fictional) incident involving an attempt to enter Bachchan’s opulent Juhu residence, Jalsa, and the subsequent encounter with security personnel. The narrative, infused with self-deprecating humour, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the segment.
The clip culminates with Samay expressing his disbelief and amusement at sharing the stage with such a cinematic icon, further emphasizing the lighthearted nature of the interaction. The entire segment is a testament to the comedic prowess of Samay Raina and the undeniable charm of the interaction between generations of entertainers.
