Amitabh Bachchan’s legendary charm is undeniable. With his towering frame, expressive eyes, and magnetic screen presence, he was undoubtedly one of Bollywood's biggest heartthrobs during his early years – and decades later, that charisma clearly hasn't faded. In an upcoming episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 18’, playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan will grace the hot seat and prove that even stars get starstruck when they meet Big B. In a newly released promo shared on SonyLIV's official Instagram handle, Sunidhi made a sweet and unexpected confession that left the veteran star visibly amused.
Looking at the legendary host, she openly expressed her admiration, stating, “We have seen you in so many different avatars. You are Santa Claus to me. You were my first crush.”

Never one to miss a beat, Amitabh Bachchan interrupted her with a witty comeback. “Aapko humpe crush tha, yeh ab bata rahi hain aap, tab nahi btaaya,” he responded with a comment that left the celebrated singer smiling and blushing in the hot seat.
But the episode wasn’t just about sweet confessions; it also turned into a mini-concert. Sunidhi Chauhan, known for her powerhouse vocals, treated the audience to a live performance of ‘Yeh Mera Dil’ from the 2006 film ‘Don’. The track holds special significance, as the original version, sung by Asha Bhosle, was famously featured in Amitabh Bachchan’s 1978 blockbuster of the same name. Big B appeared visibly mesmerised by her impromptu performance and applauded her enthusiastically.
The promo has already generated significant buzz among fans online. Viewers flooded the comments section with excitement, with one fan noting, “Two legends admiring each other.” Another praised the singer's talent, writing, “Effortless singing, Sunidhi is so natural.” Others were simply eager for the broadcast, leaving comments like, “Wohoo, queen is here,” and dubbing her the “Shakira from India.”
‘Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18’ premiered on August 10 and airs Monday through Friday at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV. The new season is themed around the concept that in an era of universal access to knowledge, the true competitive advantage lies in the ability to interpret, connect, and apply it. The season opened strong with a premiere episode featuring Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol, and Preity Zinta promoting their film ‘Batwara 1947’.
Both Sunidhi Chauhan and Amitabh Bachchan remain incredibly active in the industry. Sunidhi recently lent her voice to the track ‘Tujhko’ for the commercially successful film ‘Cocktail 2’, featuring Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. Meanwhile, alongside his hosting duties on ‘KBC’, Big B is gearing up for the highly anticipated sequel to Nag Ashwin's ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, starring alongside Prabhas and Kamal Haasan. The film is currently in production following the massive success of the first installment, which grossed over Rs 1,000 crore worldwide.
