In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 on August 30, contestant Dipti Singh experienced a dream come true moment. Bachchan sahab gave her a rose and recited one of the most romantic shayaris from his film Silsila, which also starred Jaya Bachchan and Rekha.
Bachchan sahab was in his romantic element during this episode. It all started when Dipti Singh, a homemaker, presented him with a rose, calling him her “sapno ke raja” (man of her dreams). She said, “Aap mujhe ek dijiye” (You give me one). He was surprised because it was the first time in this season that a contestant had brought a gift for him.
Dipti, while talking about her dream man, referred to Bachchan sahab and said, “Sir, yeh phool mei layi thi apne sapno ke raja ke liye, joh roz mere sapno mei aate hai. Sir, ek aap mujhe dijiye, aur mei aapko ek dungi.” (Sir, I brought these flowers for the king of my dreams, who comes in my dreams every day. Please give me a rose.)
Bachchan sahab took the rose from Dipti and transformed into his character Amit Malhotra from Silsila (1981). He then recited a deeply romantic shayari from the film, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present. In his powerful voice, he said:
“Hadsaa ban ke koi khwab bikhar jaye to kya ho,
Waqt jazbaat ko tabdeel nahi kar sakta,
Door ho jaane se ehsaas nahi mar sakta…
Yeh mohabbat hai dilon ka rishta…
Yeh mohabbat hai dilon ka rishta
Aisa rishta jo sarhadon mein kabhi tabdeel nahi ho sakta…
Tu kisi aur ki raaton ka haseen chaand sahi,
Mere har rang mein shaamil tu hai…
Tujhse roshan hain mere khwab meri umeedein,
Tu kisi bhi raah se guzare,
Meri manzil tu hai…”
(What if a dream is shattered by an accident? Time cannot change the emotion. The feeling can’t die by getting away. This is love, the relationship of hearts. A relationship that can never be changed by borders. You are the beautiful moon of someone else’s nights, but you are included in my every color. My dreams and hopes are brighter because of you. Whichever path you take, you are my destination.)
The audience erupted in applause, while Dipti was left speechless, overwhelmed by the moment and the lasting memory Bachchan sahab created for her.
