The Bachchan family is always in the news, sometimes for personal and sometimes professional life. There have been rumors of divorce between Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek for some time now. Meanwhile, a statement of Amitabh Bachchan has gone viral.
Amitabh said this in KBC 16
Actually Amitabh Bachchan is hosting KBC 16 these days. In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Amitabh Bachchan talked to contestant Kriti about her family. He also told what he thinks about Sikhism. Talking about his parents' marriage, Amitabh said, I find it a bit strange to call it inter-caste. My father was from Uttar Pradesh and my mother was from a Sikh family. 'So I consider myself half a chieftain.'
He further said, when I was born, my aunt used to say 'Kitna sona puttar hai, sadda Amitabh Singh' (What a beautiful son we have, Amitabh Singh).
Amitabh smilingly said that he is proud to be half a Sardar. For your information, let us tell you that Amitabh Bachchan's mother Teji Bachchan was from a Sikh family and his aunt lovingly called him 'Amitabh Singh'. This surname reflects the deep roots of his heritage.
