Amitabh Bachchan continues to entertain the Indian television audience with his latest season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The reason why the game show is still running strong is because the host always comes up with an interesting anecdote from his life. In the latest episode of KBC, the veteran superstar opened up about the difficulty his father, renowned poet Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan had to face during his wedding with his mother Teji Bachchan, and how freedom fighter Sarojini Naidu, helped his father in that tough phase.
A contestant Yojana, answered a question about Sarojini Naidu, and then Amitabh shared her association with his father. The host said, "I am a little hesitant to say this but she was also a big fan of my babuji (father). My babuji had an intercaste marriage. My mom Teji Ji was from a Sikh family. At the time we lived in Allahabad, and getting married in a different caste was unacceptable in those days in that region."
Amitabh further added that Sarojini consoled her father during those tough times, and even introduced him to the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. "Many people opposed when my father brought my mother to Allahabad. Sarojini Naidu was the first person who consoled him and even introduced him to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who used to live in Anand Bhavan in Allahabad. I still remember the way she had introduced my father. She said, ‘Meet the poet and his poetry’."
