In the upcoming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Amitabh Bachchan will recall his reaction on seeing Vidya Balan for the first time.
Bollywood stars Vidya Balan and Kartik Aaryan will grace Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 this Friday (October 17).

In the Sawalon ki Bhool Bhulaiya special episode, Amitabh Bachchan shares a fond memory of when he saw Vidya Balan for the first time during the screening of Parineeta. He shared, “The first time I saw you was during the screening of Parineeta, and I was sitting with some big bigwigs and Karan Johar was one of them. I told him, 'Iss ladki ko jaldi se sign karo, yeh bahaut badi kalakar ban ne waali hai (Sign this girl for a film soon; she is going to become a big artist).”
The megastar also recalled how deeply moved he was by Vidya’s performance and even asked director Vidhu Vinod Chopra, “Kaise dhundha inko? (How did you find her?)”
Thanking the actor for his kind words, Vidya added how grateful she was to have received the opportunity to work with him for the first time in the 2007 film Eklavya. Besides this, they also worked together in Te3n and Paa.
