The father-son duo’s presence added a rare blend of warmth, poetry, and admiration to the episode, which celebrates not just Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday but also the enduring legacy of Indian cinema’s golden era. Amid laughter, fond memories, and light-hearted moments, the show took an emotional turn when Farhan Akhtar shared a personal story that left the audience deeply moved.
The Don director revealed that one of his most valued possessions isn’t a trophy or a film award but a letter written by Amitabh Bachchan himself. Farhan said, “We all know how much you love writing letters. In my office, there’s a corner where I display all my film awards. And right there, alongside them, I’ve placed your letter — the one you wrote to me after watching Dil Chahta Hai. For me, that letter is the most prestigious award of all. Thank you so much.”
Humbled and visibly touched, Amitabh Bachchan responded, “I’ve known you since you were a child. And then suddenly, you were directing, creating films, and bringing something so refreshing to Indian cinema. Dil Chahta Hai was truly a game-changer. I was amazed—this boy who grew up around us is now making such incredible cinema! I just had to write to you.”
With Javed Akhtar’s poetic charm and reflections on cinema’s evolution, the episode becomes a heartfelt ode to art, mentorship, and the relationships that define Bollywood’s creative soul. Fans can expect never-heard-before anecdotes, light-hearted banter, and touching exchanges that highlight the mutual respect and affection between generations of artists.
This birthday special of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 isn’t just an episode — it’s an emotional reminder of how storytelling, admiration, and legacy continue to connect the heart of Indian cinema.
