Actors Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Dot, Agastya Nanda, Yuvraj Menda, Dot., Mihir Ahuja and Vedang Raina, promoted their recent release, The Archies on the latest episode of Amitabh Bachchan‘s Kaun Banega Crorepati 15 along with the film’s director Zoya Akhtar.
Amitabh Bachchan seemed to have had a fun time interacting with the young actors and was also left bemused when Suhana was clueless about one of the greatest honours — the Padma Shri — her father, actor Shah Rukh Khan, had received in 2005.
In the KBC episode, Amitabh asked Suhana, Vedang and Zoya a question about SRK during the ‘Super Sandook’ round and Suhana’s ignorance about her father’s Padma Shri honour left him surprised. The question was: “Shah Rukh Khan has not yet received which of these honours?” The options given were: “(a) Padma Shri, (b) Legion of Honour, (c), L’Etoile d’Or and (d) Volpi Cup.”
As soon as Big B asked the questions, Suhana was quick to answer, “(a) Padma Shri”. Hearing Suhana give the answer, both Amitabh and Vedang were shocked. While Vedang said, “How could you that wrong?”, an open-mouthed Amotabh said how could the daughter not know which award her father has received. Shah Rukh Khan was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2005.
Amitabh Bachchan, reacting to Suhana’s ignorance, jokingly said, “Beti ko pata nahi hai ki pita ko kya mila hai. Keval baap ne itna hi bata ke bheja hai ki wo saamne baitha hai usne tumhare baap ka kirdaar adaa kiya hai. Toh unko bol dena ki bhaiyya jara aaram se sawaal pucho. Abhi itna aaram se sawaal pucha phir bhi uska jawab nahi de payi ye. (The daughter does not know what the father has got. The father has sent her only by telling her that the person sitting in front of her has played the role of his father; and that I should ask his daughter easy questions. Now, that I have asked her an easy question, she still doesn’t not know the answer).”
Suhana was visibly embarrased that she didn’t know the right answer. The correct answer to the question was option (d) Volpi Cup.
Earlier in the show when Bachchan had asked Suhana if SRK gave her any advice before she came on to the quiz show, which was hosted by SRK himself for a bit, she had told AB, “Unhone kahan ki aapko bas yaad dila du ki aapne unke father ka role play kiya hai toh ask me easy questions (He asked me to remind you that you have payed his father onscreen and hence ask easy questions)”.
Suhana plays the role of Veronica Lodge in The Archies, whereas Bachchan’s grandson Agastya plays the lead role of Archie in the film streaming on Netflix.
