Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 keeps the viewers glued to their screens as the host, Amitabh Bachchan, shares interesting tidbits from his professional and personal life. Recently, the megastar shared advice that he picked up from the legendary actor Shashi Kapoor. The trick is to avoid awkwardness during social gatherings. Read on to know what it is.
During his interaction with a contestant, Amitabh Bachchan said that if we ever find ourselves in a situation where we know the person who approached us but can’t recollect their name, then there’s a trick to asking his name. He said, “Kahi baar ayesa hota hain, kahi hum jaate hain, koi aa jata hain milne ke liye. Aur ayese muskurate huwe milega ki lagega hum uske jaan pehchan ke hain, aur humko yaad bhi nahi hota aur hum bhul gaye honge. (Sometimes it happens that we meet someone whom we seem to know but can't recollect their name.)"
"Shashi Kapoor ji ke ye adaat bohot badhiya thi, humne unse seekha. Koi bhi aa jaye aur aapko lagey hum iska naam nahi jante hain, toh wo apna naam pehle bata denge, 'Hello, I'm Shashi Kapoor.' Toh jayse ye bolega, toh udhar se wo aapna naam bol dega. (Shashi Kapoor knew how to handle such a situation. He would introduce himself first, saying, ‘Hello, I’m Shashi Kapoor’. This would make the other person feel obliged to share their name)," added Big B.
