‘My parents named me after your son’: Krushna Abhishek opens up to Amitabh Bachchan on KBC

The Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 sets turned into a laughter riot zone this week. Comedians Krushna Abhishek and Sunil Grover joined megastar Amitabh Bachchan for a special episode. But amid all the giggles, Krushna shared a story that left everyone smiling.

During his chat with Big B, Krushna revealed the reason behind his unique name. “My parents actually named me Abhishek after your son,” he said, turning to Amitabh with a grin. “They were huge fans of the Bachchans. But when I started working in films, my PR team suggested I change my name because Abhishek had already become famous. Since my father is a devotee of Lord Krishna, he renamed me Krushna.”

The moment struck a chord with Amitabh who responded with his trademark warmth.

Joining Krushna on stage was fellow comedian and actor Sunil Grover known for his hilarious comic timing. The duo shared the hot seat bringing their signature wit to the quiz show and of course a few impromptu jokes that had even Big B laughing out loud.

“The man who has inspired us all! They say you learn by watching others, and I’ve learned everything from you, sir. Truly privileged to share the stage with you,” he wrote. He also thanked Sunil Grover for the fun-filled shoot, signing off with “had a blast shooting this episode.”

The comedian has always been open about his love and respect for Amitabh.

Praying for your good health and happiness always,” he wrote.
