KBC 13: Amitabh Bachchan laughs as Riteish Deshmukh gives romantic twist to Kaalia line, watch

Riteish Deshmukh gave a few of Amitabh Bachchan's iconic lines a romantic twist in a new promo for Kaun Banega Crorepati 13. He and his wife Genelia Deshmukh will appear as the special guests on the Shandaar Shukravaar episode this week. 

In the promo, shared on Sony Television's social media platforms, Riteish went down on one knee and dedicated lines from the film Kabhi Kabhie to Genelia as Amitabh Bachchan watched. He then gave a twist ti Kaalia's famous line, ‘Hum jahan khade hote hain…’ 

“Mere liye, jahaan tum khadi ho jaati ho, line wahin se shuru hoti hai (For me, the queue starts from where you stand),” Riteish said, leaving Genelia blushing. “How cute,” she replied. He also gave his own version of Shahenshah's 'Rishte mein toh hum tumhare baap lagte hai' line. 

Riteish said, “Rishte mein toh hum tumhare pati lagte hai, lekin naam hai Genelia sa naura (I am your husband, but my name is Genelia's husband),” leaving everyone in splits. Amitabh also cheered and said, “Waah waah.” 

The new promo arrived shortly after Riteish revealed he was identified as 'Genelia's husband' when he visited Bengaluru for a Celebrity Cricket League match. Speaking to Arbaaz Khan on the talk show Pinch, Riteish said he overheard two staff members referring to him as ‘Genelia’s husband’. Riteish said, “Here, I am Genelia’s husband. In Maharashtra, she is Riteish’s wife.”
