Suhana Khan, the daughter of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, recently featured on Kaun Banega Crorepati 15 as part of her team, The Archies. In a lighthearted segment, host Amitabh Bachchan asked her about Shah Rukh Khan’s honours, and the response led to a humorous exchange.
During the Super Sandook segment, Amitabh posed the question, “Shah Rukh Khan has not yet received which of these honours?” The options included Padma Shri, Legion of Honour, L’Etoile d’Or, and Volpi Cup. Suhana confidently replied, “Padma Shri,” but the correct answer was (D) Volpi Cup.
Reacting to Suhana’s answer, co-star Vedang Raina playfully questioned, “How could you get that wrong?” Amitabh joined in the banter, stating, “Beti ko pata nahi hai ki pita ko kya mila hai (The daughter doesn’t know what the father has received).” Teasingly, he added, “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 father has sent her only by telling that the person sitting in front of her has played the role of his dad. So tell him to ask easy questions. Now, I asked an easy question, but still, you couldn’t answer).”
Amitabh also inquired about Shah Rukh’s advice to Suhana before appearing on KBC. Suhana revealed that her father advised her to remember that he had played the role of her on-screen father, hence asking easy questions.
Despite the light-hearted moment, Suhana shared Shah Rukh’s wisdom regarding her Bollywood debut, stating, “I am a bit embarrassed after the wrong answer. But he told me to listen to two voices–the director and your heart and the rest will fall into place.”
Suhana recently starred in Zoya Akhtar’s directorial venture, The Archies, a coming-of-age musical that explores the lives of iconic characters in the fictional town of Riverdale.
