The 27-year-old actress explained terms like “OOTD,” “drip,” and “no cap,” much to the veteran actor's amusement. When Ananya described Amitabh Bachchan as having “drip” – a term for someone effortlessly stylish – the host responded with his trademark humour. “Drip to me means water falling from the ceiling,” he quipped, leaving the audience in splits.
Ananya Panday didn't stop there, expressing her profound respect for the legend by stating, “Amitabh Bachchan is the greatest in the world, no cap.” She quickly clarified that “no cap” essentially means “no lie” or “truly,” reinforcing her admiration for him.
The banter continued as Amitabh Bachchan asked Ananya Panday about her experience in the iconic contestant’s chair. Referencing the literal name of the seat, she laughed, “Bahut garam lag raha hai. Mujhe pata tha hot seat hoga, par itna hot hoga, yeh nahi socha tha,” admitting to the playful intimidation of the show.
Kartik Aaryan also brought his signature charm to the episode, teaching Amitabh Bachchan various popular hand gestures, including the famous Korean heart sign. The energy reached a fever pitch when the trio moved to the dance floor for a surprise performance of the classic hit ‘Jumma Chumma,’ adding a nostalgic yet festive flair to the special episode.
This episode will air tonight at 9 pm. This appearance comes ahead of the theatrical release of ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’, a film that marks the second collaboration between Kartik and Ananya. Set to release this Christmas, the movie is a romantic drama that delves into the complexities of modern relationships.
With chartbuster music and a youthful perspective on love, the film is being positioned as a quintessential feel-good entertainer designed to resonate with younger audiences.
