Hosting the ‘Shandaar Shukravaar’ episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan recalled getting caught in Ranveer Singh and actor-wife Deepika Padukone’s public display of affection (PDA) at an award function years ago. Deepika and Ranveer have been married since 2018. 

Deepika Padukone along with filmmaker Farah Khan were the special guests for the Friday episode of KBC. Big B recalled an incident when Ranveer made an entry on a crane at an award show. He said that when the crane was a few feet away from him, Ranveer looked at him and made a gesture, pointing two fingers at his eyes. “Humare saath bhi ek durghatna ho gayi (I got involved in an accident),” Amitabh told Deepika and Farah Khan.

The ‘Sholay’ actor further said that he did not know what the  gesture meant, so he repeated it back at Ranveer Singh. After the exchange took place multiple times, Ranveer threw his microphone only for Amitabh Bachchan to catch it.

However, it was Amitabh’s wife who helped him understand the meaning of the gesture. She told him that the gestures were not for him but for Deepika.

“Mere bagal mein Jaya ji baithi thi. Bohot aahiste se kaan mein aaye, ‘Yeh tumhare liye nahi kar raha hai’ (Jaya was sitting next to me, she leaned in and whispered that the gestures were not for me).”

“Bagal mein Deepika ji baithi hui thi. Yeh sab jo tha yeh tab chal raha tha aur tab inka vyah nahi hua tha (Deepika was sitting next to me. All this was happening. And this was when they were not married yet),” he said.
