Akshay Kumar Relives the Hilarious Water‑Spill Incident with Amitabh Bachchan on KBC

During a lively episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan were in the studio to push their upcoming thriller Haiwaan. Between the banter and the game‑show questions, Akshay let the audience in on a priceless moment from years ago when the legendary Amitabh Bachchan visited his Lokhandwala flat.

He painted a picture of his then‑household help – a fan from Allahabad who could hardly believe he was about to hand a glass of water to the "Big B" himself. The poor chap was so star‑struck that he lost his grip, and four glasses of water cascaded onto the veteran actor’s kurta.

"He came over with the water, and in his excitement he tipped over all four glasses. I was thinking, what will happen now? Sir is incredibly tall, so I had to give you my kurta so that it would fit you," Akshay recounted, chuckling as the memory resurfaced.

The incident, though embarrassing at the time, turned into a warm anecdote that highlighted Amitabh’s graciousness. Even drenched, the towering star smiled, and the episode ended with everyone sharing a hearty laugh.

For context, Haiwaan – co‑written and directed by Priyadarshan – is a Hindi remake of his own Malayalam hit Oppam. The crime thriller features an ensemble cast that includes Saif Ali Khan, Boman Irani, Shriya Pilgaonkar, and Saiyami Kher, with a special cameo by Mohanlal. It also marks the final on‑screen appearance of the beloved comedian Asrani, who passed away in October 2025.

The film is slated to hit theatres on 11 September 2026, and fans are already buzzing about the on‑screen chemistry between Akshay and Saif, as well as the thrilling plot twists.
