A moment of lighthearted confusion on Kaun Banega Crorepati 15 recently sparked a flurry of online chatter, all thanks to Suhana Khan, daughter of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Appearing on the show with her "The Archies" co-stars, Suhana stumbled upon a question about her father's accolades, leaving even the legendary Amitabh Bachchan mildly amused.
The question, posed in the "Super Sandook" round, inquired about the award Shah Rukh Khan was yet to receive from the four options given. To everyone's surprise, Suhana answered incorrectly, stating that her father hadn't received the Padma Shri, a prestigious civilian honor bestowed upon him in 2005.
The answer left Big B slightly surprised, prompting him to playfully remark, "Beti ko nahi pata Papa ne kya mila hai (The daughter doesn't know what her father has received)." With a hint of mock disappointment, he added, "Sirf bola gaya hai ke samne jo baethe hai who baap ka role play kiya hai toh thoda araam se prashna poochhe. Itna araam se prashna poochha iska jawab hi nahi de payi (He only told me that the one sitting in front has played your father's role, so ask easy questions. You couldn't answer even this easy one)."
Suhana, visibly embarrassed, laughed along with the audience as the correct answer, the Volpi Cup, was revealed. The incident quickly went viral, generating a wave of comments and memes online. Some praised Big B's witty banter, while others chuckled at Suhana's relatable moment of forgetfulness.
The Padma Shri gaffe, though minor, served as a reminder of the human element even amidst the glitz and glamour of Bollywood. It also highlighted the playful bond between Big B and the young actors, proving that even the most seasoned stars are not immune to occasional stumbles.
Whether it sparked lighthearted amusement or sparked a discussion about pressure on celebrity children, Suhana Khan's Padma Shri slip-up undoubtedly added a touch of unexpected charm to the Kaun Banega Crorepati episode. It was a moment of genuine human connection, reminding us that even behind the dazzling facades of stardom, there are families just like ours, with their share of laughter, love, and the occasional memory lapse.
