The ‘Heir’ Joke Sparks Laughter on KBC

New Delhi, November 15, 2025: A hilarious video clip from the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) Season 17 has rapidly become a viral sensation, capturing a witty exchange between host Amitabh Bachchan and stand-up comedian Abhishek Upmanyu. The highlight of the footage was the comedian’s audacious request regarding the superstar’s personal assets. The entire scene was charged with spontaneous humor, ensuring the clip’s immediate spread across digital media.

The segment, which was featured in a special episode alongside other renowned comedians, showed Upmanyu engaging in lighthearted banter with the veteran host before the commencement of the quiz. The pivotal moment was reached when the comedian, whose name is also Abhishek, jokingly requested that he should be treated as Bachchan’s own son. The specific words that were used in his request were: “Apna hi beta samajh kar sawaal puchhiyega aur jaaydad likhiyega” (Ask questions thinking of me as your own son, and write the property in my name).

Bachchan’s Uncontrolled Amusement

The unexpected and bold nature of the request was met by Amitabh Bachchan with an immediate and hearty burst of laughter, a moment that was widely cherished by the studio audience and online viewers. The superstar was shown to be thoroughly amused by the comedian’s signature poker-faced delivery and sharp wit. The infectious nature of the host’s laughter was highlighted as the main reason the clip was shared so enthusiastically.

The humorous exchange was successfully carried forward as Bachchan playfully pointed out that the comedian had left three previous jobs. Upmanyu’s quick and humorous retort—where he suggested that he was kicked out rather than having quit, and that his positive attribute (leaving on time) was ignored in favour of his negative one (not arriving on time)—was also praised for its quick-wittedness. This effortless banter was considered a major factor in making the episode one of the most entertaining of the season.

The Power of Spontaneous Comedy

The viral success of the KBC clip is seen as a clear example of the appeal of genuine, unscripted comedy in a televised format. The simple, direct nature of the comedian’s jaaydaad (property/assets) joke was instantly relatable to the audience and was amplified by the veteran actor’s priceless reaction. The episode, which was intended as a Children’s Day special, was transformed into a festival of laughter, largely due to the quick thinking and easy rapport that was established between the host and the comedians.

The clip has also served to further enhance the comedian’s reputation for witty, observational humor. The entire sequence has ensured that the special KBC episode will be remembered as one where the legendary host himself was left uncontrollably laughing by the unexpected audacity of his guest.
