KBC 15: Abhishek Reveals Big B as 'Commentator' during Chelsea FC Match

Abhishek Bachchan reveals how his father, Amitabh Bachchan, becomes a hilarious commentator while watching Chelsea FC matches.

Actor Abhishek Bachchan, a passionate football fan, recently shared an interesting anecdote about his father, Amitabh Bachchan, during a special episode of the quiz show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 15'. Abhishek, along with Saiyami Kher and filmmaker R Balki, who are part of the cast of the film 'Ghoomer', were present on the set of the show.

During the episode, host Amitabh Bachchan asked the 'Ghoomer' team a question about the manager of Chelsea FC at the start of the 2023-24 season. Abhishek confidently answered the question, stating that Mauricio Pochettino was appointed as the manager. They won Rs 20,000 for their correct answer.

Amitabh Bachchan then praised Abhishek's knowledge of football, mentioning that Chelsea's previous season was disappointing and they had removed their former manager, Graham Potter. Abhishek revealed that both he and his father are Chelsea FC supporters. He shared a humorous incident where his father's commentary during a match was more entertaining than the actual commentary. Amitabh would often talk to the players, giving them instructions like "pass the ball" or "it's open". Abhishek jokingly commented on his father's remarks, calling the players "useless".

The audience and the rest of the 'Ghoomer' team agreed with Amitabh's belief that sometimes players do listen to such comments. This lighthearted conversation showcased the bond between father and son, as well as their shared passion for football.

In the beginning of the episode, Abhishek showed his caring side by helping Amitabh wipe the sweat from his face and keeping tissues in his pocket. This gesture highlighted their close relationship and Abhishek's thoughtfulness towards his father.

'Ghoomer', directed by R Balki, stars Abhishek Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, and Angad Bedi in important roles. The film tells the story of Anina, a talented cricket player who loses her right hand in an accident. She meets a failed cricketer who helps her rediscover her passion for the sport and trains her to become a bowler for the Indian cricket team. The film draws inspiration from the achievements of special athletes and their ability to surpass expectations.

'Ghoomer' introduces a new style of bowling called 'Ghoomer', which is designed to confuse and outwit the opposition. The film aims to celebrate the triumphs of individuals who have achieved greatness despite facing challenges.
