Diljit Dosanjh Trolls Amitabh Bachchan’s Saudagar on KBC 17

Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has brought his trademark charm and comic timing to Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, leaving audiences in splits with his candid humor. During a newly released promo of the popular quiz show, the singer-actor made a surprising confession about one of Amitabh Bachchan’s most iconic films, sparking laughter from the legendary host himself.

A Cheeky Confession About Saudagar

During the fun-filled interaction, Diljit admitted that despite being thrilled whenever Amitabh’s films released, there was one movie that didn’t quite win his heart. “When your films used to release, I’d get really excited – action, drama, everything! But sir, there’s one film I didn’t like – Saudagar,” he revealed with a straight face. With his signature comic timing, Diljit continued, “Sir, they announced your movie with so much excitement, and then I saw you selling gur (jaggery) in it!” This unexpected remark left Amitabh bursting into genuine laughter.

About the Classic Film

Saudagar, a 1973 drama directed by Sudhendu Roy, stars Amitabh Bachchan and Nutan in the lead roles. The film, adapted from the Bengali short story Ras by Narendranath Mitra, tells the tale of Moti, a gur trader who abandons his wife for another woman after achieving success, only to discover later that his wealth came from his wife’s hard work and sacrifice.
