Rendezvous with Simi Garewal
’ host Simi recently shared a throwback video from her show and it is one gem of a moment. The episode, which featured
Abhishek Bachchan, is a behind-the-scenes moment, where the host and the actor can be seen doing mic testing.
Known for his great sense of humour, Abhishek’s response will crack you up when he is asked to say something during mic testing. Jr. Bachchan replies, ‘Something’. He goes on to ask if they want him to say something substantial.
Simi asks the assistant if they want him to say something more. Abhishek wittily replies, “Hi, this is Abhishek Bachchan and you are watching me on…” Simi cues him ‘Rendezvous with Simi Garewal’ and Abhishek adds, “Rendezvous with Simi aunty, chaliye aap aur main milke khelte
hai Kaun Banega Crorepati
.”
Abhishek imitated his father
Amitabh Bachchan, who was hosting KBC at the time. This episode of Abhishek dates back to 2003. In this particular clip, Abhishek is also confused how to address the host Simi as she tells him not to call ‘aunty’. He says, “Should I call you Oprah?” Simi laughs throughout. Abhishek adds that he fears he might get thrown out of the show even before it begins.
Simi shared this video as one of her favourite rendezvous moments.
Good friend and director
Farah Khan commented, “He does have a wicked sense of humour.”
